💻 VS Code Marketplace Scraper
🚀 Pull rich extension records from the Visual Studio Code marketplace.
The marketplace catalog spans 80,000+ extensions across 20+ categories. Filters run server-side, so a single run can isolate the top Python tools, every theme over 500K installs, or all extensions from a specific publisher.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Developer-relations teams, market researchers, plugin builders, ML feature pipelines, content creators | Competitive analysis, extension discovery, publisher monitoring, install-trend research, alternative finders |
📋 What the VS Code Marketplace Scraper does
Five filtering workflows in a single run:
- 🔍 Free-text search. Match by name, description, publisher, or tag.
- 🏷️ Category filter. Themes, languages, AI, snippets, formatters, and more.
- 👤 Publisher filter. Pull every extension from a specific publisher.
- 📊 Sort options. Most installs, highest rated, newest, recently updated, weighted relevance.
- ⭐ Trending discovery. Surface fast-rising extensions by recent install velocity.
💡 Why it matters: clean, server-side filtering removes the parser-and-pagination work from your team and keeps your dataset fresh on every run.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: categories, displayName, downloads, extensionId, installs, lastUpdated, marketplaceUrl, publisherDisplayName, publisherName, rating, ratingCount, version. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
