AppSumo Scraper

🚀 AppSumo Scraper

Extract deal data from AppSumo at scale. The AppSumo Scraper lets you collect structured data on software deals — including pricing plans, features, FAQs, and reviews — from both the live catalog and the full all-time deal history.

✨ Features

• 🏷️ Rich Deal Data: Name, price, discount percentage, rating, review count, taxonomy, OS compatibility, integrations, and more.
• 📋 Full Product Details: Pricing tiers with features and terms, FAQs, money-back guarantee period, badge, and percent claimed.
• ⭐ Reviews: Paginate through all reviews with author info, rating, title, body, and upvotes.
• 🔍 Browse & Search Modes: Paginate the full catalog or search by keyword.
• 🗂️ Flexible Filtering: Filter by deal status (current, all, upcoming), group, category, and sort order.
• ⚡ Pure HTTP: No browser needed — uses AppSumo's REST API and Next.js data routes directly.

🛠️ How It Works

1. Configure Input – Choose browse or search mode, set filters, and enable optional detail/review scraping.
2. Run the Scraper – The actor paginates the AppSumo deals API (100 deals per request), then optionally fetches the full product page and reviews for each deal.
3. Get Structured Data – Results are pushed to a dataset with consistent field names ready for analysis or export.
