## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Shopify App Store Scraper - Apps, Pricing & Reviews

**Popular searches this Actor covers:** Shopify App Store scraper, Shopify app reviews scraper, Shopify app pricing data, Shopify app developers leads, apps.shopify.com scraper.

### What can you use it for?

- Competitor monitoring for Shopify app developers (pricing, rating, review trends)
- Lead generation: list app developers in a category
- Market research before building a Shopify app
- Review mining for feature ideas and pain points

### Quick start (one click)

Press **Start** - the default input returns results in about a minute for a few cents. Example input:

```json
{
  "apps": [
    "judgeme"
  ],
  "maxApps": 20,
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 20,
  "reviewSort": "newest"
}
```

### Example output

| type | name | developer | rating | reviewCount | pricingSummary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| app | Appstle℠ Subscriptions App | Appstle Inc. | 5 | 9143 | Free plan available. Free trial availabl... |

Full records contain more fields (see the Output / Dataset tab). Download as **CSV, Excel, JSON** or use the Apify API, schedules and integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks).

### Pricing

Pay only for what you get (pay per event):

- **$0.001 per result** returned
- **$0.005 per run start**

Examples: 100 results = $0.105; 1,000 results = $1.00. Apify free plan credits cover small runs.

### FAQ

**Can I scrape app reviews?**
Yes - set includeReviews and maxReviewsPerApp.

**How do I find apps?**
Pass app handles (e.g. judgeme), search keywords, or category slugs.

**Is this legal?**
It collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using it in line with applicable laws (e.g. CAN-SPAM, GDPR, TCPA) and the source's terms.

**Can I schedule it?**
Yes - use Apify Schedules to run it daily and get new records automatically, then send them to Google Sheets, Slack or your CRM via integrations.

**Need a custom field, source or done-for-you list?**
Open an issue on the Issues tab - feature requests are welcome.

### Technical details

Scrape the public [Shopify App Store](https://apps.shopify.com) without a login: app details, pricing plans, feature lists, categories, ratings and merchant reviews. Use it to research competitors, track pricing changes, find app ideas, or collect reviews for sentiment analysis.

### What you can scrape

- **Specific apps** by URL or handle (`https://apps.shopify.com/judgeme` or `judgeme`)
- **Search results** for any keyword (e.g. `upsell`, `product reviews`)
- **Category pages** by slug or URL (e.g. `store-design`)
- **Merchant reviews** for every app, newest first or most relevant, with pagination

### Output

Each dataset item has a `type` field:

**`app`** - `handle`, `url`, `name`, `developer`, `developerUrl`, `rating`, `reviewCount`, `pricingSummary`, `pricingPlans` (name, price, features), `categories` (category and feature tags), `launchDate`, `languages`, `worksWith`, `tagline`, `description`, `iconUrl`, `builtForShopify`, `scrapedAt`.

```json
{"type": "app", "handle": "judgeme", "name": "Judge.me Product Reviews App", "developer": "Judge.me", "rating": 5.0, "reviewCount": 49323,
 "pricingSummary": "Free plan available. Free trial available.",
 "pricingPlans": [{"name": "Awesome", "price": "$15 / month", "features": ["AI (replies, summary, translations)", "130+ integrations, inc. Klaviyo, Gorgias"]}],
 "launchDate": "2015-06-25"}
```

**`review`** - `appHandle`, `reviewId`, `rating` (1-5), `date`, `text` (null for star-only reviews), `storeName`, `country`, `durationOfUse`, `developerReply`, `developerReplyDate`.

```json
{"type": "review", "appHandle": "judgeme", "reviewId": "2412570", "rating": 5, "date": "2026-10-29", "text": "Great app and customer support so far...",
 "storeName": "American Nutriceuticals", "country": "United States", "durationOfUse": "5 months using the app"}
```

**`error`** - an app that is delisted or unreachable. These rows are **not charged**.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `apps` | `["judgeme"]` | App URLs or handles |
| `searchKeywords` | - | Apps found by keyword search |
| `categories` | - | Category slugs or URLs |
| `maxApps` | 20 | Max apps per keyword/category |
| `includeReviews` | true | Also scrape merchant reviews |
| `maxReviewsPerApp` | 20 | 0 = no reviews |
| `reviewSort` | `newest` | `newest` or `relevance` |

### Pricing

Pay per result: every app and every review saved is one `result` event. Error rows are free. You can cap spending with the run's maximum cost setting; the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

### Tips

- Use `includeReviews: false` to quickly build a list of apps in a niche with their pricing.
- Schedule a daily run on your competitors with `reviewSort: newest` and a small `maxReviewsPerApp` to monitor new reviews.
- The scraper is polite (about one request per second) and retries on rate limits.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "apps": [
    "judgeme"
  ]
}' |
apify call perskekits/shopify-app-store-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,perskekits/shopify-app-store-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
