JetBrains Marketplace Plugins Scraper

JetBrains Marketplace Plugins Scraper

Scrape JetBrains Marketplace plugins by keyword search or numeric plugin ID, up to a million per run. Every plugin row returns its name, vendor, rating, download count, and pricing. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

JetBrains Marketplace lists thousands of IDE plugins, but browsing page by page to collect plugin data is slow and manual. This actor reads the public Marketplace listings directly, searching by a keyword like "python" or fetching specific plugins by their numeric IDs. You get a clean dataset of plugin metadata without writing any code.

Who uses it	What they scrape JetBrains Marketplace for
IDE plugin developers	Monitor competitor plugin ratings, downloads, and pricing in their category.
DevTool market analysts	Track which JetBrains plugin categories are growing fastest each quarter.
Engineering team leads	Audit available plugins for a specific workflow before standardizing the team toolchain.
Content curators	Build a searchable index of top JetBrains plugins by keyword and rating.

What it does

This Actor collects JetBrains Marketplace plugin listings by keyword search or specific plugin IDs and returns each plugin as a flat row.

• 🔍 Search by keyword: find plugins matching a term like "kotlin", "theme", or "docker" across the entire Marketplace.
• 🆔 By plugin IDs: fetch specific plugins using their numeric Marketplace ID, found in the plugin page URL.
• 📊 Structured output: each plugin row includes name, vendor, rating, download count, and pricing in a fixed schema.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for my keyword search?

Check that your search term is spelled correctly and is specific enough. Very broad or misspelled terms may return zero matches. Try a shorter or more common keyword like "python" or "theme".

The Actor returns fewer plugins than my maximum limit.

The Marketplace only returns plugins that match your search term. If the total matching plugins is less than your maximum, the Actor collects all of them and stops. Try a broader keyword.

I entered a plugin ID but got no data for it.

Verify the numeric ID is correct by opening the plugin page on the JetBrains Marketplace and checking the URL. Some IDs may belong to delisted or private plugins that are no longer publicly accessible.

The run is taking a long time.

Large maximum plugin limits can increase run time. Reduce the maximum plugins value or narrow your keyword to a more specific term to speed up collection.

Some fields are empty in the output.

Not every plugin lists all data fields on the Marketplace. If a plugin has no rating yet or does not display a download count publicly, those fields will be empty in your dataset.

FAQ

Question	Answer
How do I find a plugin's numeric ID?	Open the plugin page on the JetBrains Marketplace website. The URL contains a number, for example 7322 for the Python plugin. Use that number in the By plugin IDs mode.
Can I scrape all plugins in a category?	The Marketplace does not expose a direct category filter. Use the keyword search mode with a term that matches the category you want, and set a high maximum plugins limit to collect as many as possible.
What data fields does each plugin row include?	Each row returns the plugin name, vendor, rating, download count, and pricing information. The exact fields are shown in the sample output on the Actor page.
Does this scraper require a JetBrains account or API key?	No. This Actor reads public Marketplace pages and requires no login, account registration, or API key.
Can I export the results to Google Sheets?	Yes. Run the Actor and export the dataset as CSV, then import that file into Google Sheets. You can also export to JSON, Excel, or XML.
How many plugins can I scrape in one run?	You set the maximum with the Maximum plugins field. The upper limit is one million per run.
What happens if I enter both a search term and plugin IDs?	The Actor uses whichever mode you select. If you choose Search by keyword, the IDs field is ignored. If you choose By plugin IDs, the search term is ignored.
Is the data real-time?	Yes. Every run fetches the current public data from the JetBrains Marketplace at that moment.
Can I schedule this scraper to run daily?	Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run the Actor on a recurring schedule and track changes to plugin data over time.
