🧩 JetBrains Marketplace Plugins Scraper

🚀 Export JetBrains Marketplace plugin data in one run. Pull plugin names, vendors, ratings, download counts, tags, and compatible IDE builds straight from the official Marketplace API.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-08 · 📊 Up to 21 fields per record · 2 modes · live Marketplace data

Turn the JetBrains Marketplace into clean, structured plugin records you can drop into a spreadsheet, a competitive tracker, or an internal tooling catalog. Search by keyword or fetch specific plugins by their numeric ID, and get one tidy record per plugin with its icon, description, vendor, rating, downloads, tags, and the IDEs it supports.

Coverage is whatever the public Marketplace API exposes for each plugin: identity (id, xmlId, name), the vendor behind it, a real per-plugin rating computed from the vote histogram, lifetime download count, the latest published version, and the list of compatible JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, and Rider.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Plugin developers	Track competitors, ratings, and download trends
Dev tooling teams	Build an internal catalog of approved plugins
Ecosystem researchers	Map the JetBrains plugin landscape by tag
IDE platform analysts	Study adoption across IntelliJ-based IDEs

📋 What the JetBrains Marketplace Plugins Scraper does

This Actor calls the public JetBrains Marketplace API and returns one clean record per plugin. You choose how plugins are selected:

• Search by keyword — give a query like python or theme and the Actor resolves matching plugins, then enriches each one.
• By plugin IDs — give a list of numeric Marketplace IDs (the number in the plugin page URL) and the Actor fetches exactly those.

For every plugin the Actor combines three Marketplace endpoints: the plugin detail (identity, vendor, downloads, tags), the rating histogram (turned into a true weighted average), and the latest update (version and compatible IDE builds). Every record carries a scrapedAt timestamp.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Description
mode	select	How plugins are selected. One of search or ids. Defaults to search.
query	string	Keyword to search the Marketplace. Used when mode is search.
ids	array	List of numeric plugin IDs. Used when mode is ids.
maxItems	integer	How many plugin records to return. Free plan is capped at 10.

Example 1 — search by keyword

{
    "mode": "search",
    "query": "python",
    "maxItems": 20
}

Example 2 — specific plugins by ID

{
    "mode": "ids",
    "ids": ["7322", "631", "10080"],
    "maxItems": 10
}

⚠️ Good to Know: The plugin ID is the number at the start of the URL slug, for example 7322 in plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7322-python-community-edition. The rating field is a true weighted average derived from the public vote histogram, and ratingVotes tells you how many votes back it.

• Two selection modes in one Actor, sharing a single consistent record shape.
• No JetBrains account, no key, and no login required.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a JetBrains account? No. The Actor reads the public JetBrains Marketplace API, which needs no login.

Do I need an API key? No key is required. The Actor sends a descriptive User-Agent and nothing else.

How do I find a plugin ID? It is the number at the start of the plugin page URL, for example 7322 in plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7322-python-community-edition.

How is the rating calculated? From the plugin's public vote histogram. The Actor computes a weighted average of the 1 to 5 star votes, which matches the rating shown in Marketplace search.

Why is ratingVotes included? So you can judge how meaningful a rating is. A 5.0 from three votes is different from a 4.6 from six hundred.

Which IDEs are covered in compatibleIdes? Whatever the plugin's latest update declares, using JetBrains IDE codes like IDEA, PYCHARM, WEBSTORM, GOLAND, RIDER, CLION, and more.

Can I pull paid plugins too? Yes. The pricingModel field shows FREE, FREEMIUM, or PAID. The Actor reads public metadata only.

Why is until sometimes null? Some plugins declare an open-ended upper compatibility bound, so the source leaves until empty. The Actor passes through what the source provides.

How fresh is the data? Each run pulls live from the Marketplace, so it reflects ratings, downloads, and versions at run time.

Can I schedule this? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to snapshot a keyword search or a fixed list of plugin IDs on any cadence.

🔌 Integrate with any app

Results are available through the Apify API, so you can pull them into any app, database, or workflow you already run.
