Shopify App Store Scraper: apps, pricing plans and reviews

Pull structured data from the public Shopify App Store without an API key. Point it at one or more categories, or at a list of app handles, and get one clean record per app: rating, review count, star split, every pricing plan, developer, launch date, categories, languages and more. Switch on reviews to also get the newest merchant reviews for each app.

Who it's for

• Shopify app developers tracking competitors' prices, ratings and launch dates.
• SaaS marketers and agencies building lists of apps by category or developer.
• Investors and analysts sizing app categories and spotting new entrants.
• Product teams mining merchant reviews for feature gaps and support complaints.

What you get

Each app record (billed as one result) contains:

• name, handle, url, tagline, shortDescription, description, highlights
• rating, reviewCount, ratingDistribution (count per star level)
• pricingSummary, plans (name, price, priceUsd, free-trial days, features), hasFreePlan, hasFreeTrial, lowestPaidPlanUsd
• developer, developerUrl, developerCountry, builtForShopify
• categories, launched (ISO date), languages, worksWith

Each review record (optional, billed separately) contains appHandle, rating, date, storeName, storeCountry, timeUsingApp, text, developerReply and a link to the review.

How to find a category handle

Open a category on apps.shopify.com, for example https://apps.shopify.com/categories/orders-and-shipping. The last part of the URL (orders-and-shipping) is the handle. You can paste the full URL as well.

Input options

• categories: category handles or URLs to list (about 24 apps per listing page).
• appHandles: specific apps by handle or URL.
• recentlyUpdated: also take the most recently updated apps from the store-wide sitemap.
• minRating, minReviewCount: filter out small or poorly rated apps.
• includeReviews, maxReviewsPerApp: add the newest merchant reviews.
• maxResults: cap on apps returned.

Pricing

Pay per event: $4 per 1,000 apps and $1 per 1,000 reviews, plus Apify platform usage. You only pay for records that are returned. Set maxResults to control cost.

Notes

• Reads only public pages that the Shopify App Store serves to anonymous visitors, at a polite request rate.
• Reviews are the public merchant reviews: store name, country and text. No emails, phone numbers or other personal data are collected.
• Apps with no reviews return rating: null and reviewCount: 0.
• The data reflects the page at run time. Schedule the actor to track price and rating changes over time.
