## 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, Reviews & Catalog

Extract clean, structured data from the **Shopify App Store**: app details (rating, review count,
developer, category, pricing), **full review history** with merchant names, dates and developer
replies, and the **complete app catalog**. Built for app developers, investors and market research.

### Three modes

| Mode | What you get |
|---|---|
| **App details** | Name, rating, total reviews, developer, category, icon — from structured data |
| **Reviews of apps** | Every review: rating, date, merchant, full text **and the developer's reply** (separated) |
| **Full app catalog** | Every app handle + URL in the store (from the official sitemap) |

### Why this one beats the rest

- **Full review text — always.** Long reviews on the App Store are truncated and loaded dynamically;
  many scrapers return empty bodies. We fetch the fully-rendered reviews, so **you get 100% of the text**.
- **Review vs developer reply, separated.** We put the merchant's words in `text` and the developer's
  answer in `developerReply` — no mixing garbage into your dataset.
- **Reliable structured data.** App details come from the page's JSON-LD, not brittle CSS guesses.
- **Readable errors & default run that just works.**

### Example: a review

```json
{
  "type": "review",
  "appHandle": "klaviyo-email-marketing",
  "rating": 1,
  "date": "June 28, 2026",
  "merchant": "Cool Store Co",
  "text": "Support was slow and prices jumped without warning...",
  "developerReply": "We're sorry to hear this — our team has reached out..."
}
```

### Who buys this

- **App developers** — track competitors' ratings, mine 1-star reviews for feature gaps, watch pricing
- **Investors / analysts** — evaluate app traction and sentiment across the ecosystem
- **Agencies** — find apps with poor reviews to pitch better alternatives
- **AI agents** — clean schema, ready for LLM analysis of merchant sentiment

### Tips

- Combine **reviews** mode with a **Schedule** to track sentiment over time
- Use **catalog** mode to build a target list, then run **apps** mode on it for full metadata
- Set a max cost per run — the Actor respects it exactly and stops there

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "mode": "apps",
    "appUrls": [
        "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing"
    ],
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 100,
    "maxItems": 200
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("prometheusagency/shopify-app-store-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "mode": "apps",
    "appUrls": ["https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing"],
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 100,
    "maxItems": 200,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("prometheusagency/shopify-app-store-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "mode": "apps",
  "appUrls": [
    "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing"
  ],
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 100,
  "maxItems": 200
}' |
apify call prometheusagency/shopify-app-store-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,prometheusagency/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).
