## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Shopify App Store Apps & Developer Scraper

> Turn the Shopify App Store into a clean, structured dataset. Search by keyword or browse a category and get every app with its developer, ratings, reviews, pricing and more, ready for JSON, CSV or Excel.

[![Actor](https://img.shields.io/badge/Apify-Actor-blue)](https://apify.com) [![Data](https://img.shields.io/badge/Export-JSON%20%7C%20CSV%20%7C%20Excel-green)](https://apify.com)

Map the entire Shopify app ecosystem in minutes. Whether you are researching competitors, sizing a niche, building a market map or sourcing app-developer (partner) leads, this scraper returns the fields that matter for every listing.

### What you get

For each app it collects:

- **name** and **appUrl** of the listing
- **developerName** (partner) and **partnerUrl** (developer profile page)
- **tagline** and full **description**
- **rating** (average out of 5) and **reviewsCount**
- **pricing** summary plus every **pricingPlans** entry (plan name and price)
- **categories** the app is listed under
- **launchDate** when available
- **builtForShopify** badge flag and **iconUrl**

Rating, reviews and developer together give you both ecosystem intelligence (who leads a niche, how saturated it is, pricing norms) and a ready list of app-developer leads.

### Who is it for

- App developers and agencies mapping competitors and pricing before building
- Investors and analysts sizing niches and tracking category leaders
- Partnership, sales and BD teams sourcing app-developer leads
- Merchants comparing apps in a category side by side

### How to use it

1. Set a **Search keyword** (for example `email marketing`) or a **Category slug** to browse a whole category.
2. Optionally set **Sort** and toggle **Fetch developer, partner & pricing plans** for richer records.
3. Set **Max Items** and run.
4. Download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull them through the API.

### FAQ

**Do I need an account or key?** No. Just provide a keyword or category.

**Search vs category?** Use a keyword for topic searches; use a category slug (from a category page URL) to sweep an entire category in ranked order.

**How do I get the developer/partner contact?** Each record includes the developer name and their profile URL, your starting point for outreach and enrichment.

**Can I get every app in a niche?** Increase Max Items to paginate deeper through the results.

# Actor input Schema

## `maxApps` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of apps to collect.
## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Search the Shopify App Store for this term (for example 'email marketing', 'upsell', 'reviews'). Used when no category is set.
## `category` (type: `string`):

Instead of a keyword, browse a Shopify App Store category by its slug from the category page URL (for example 'store-design' or 'marketing-and-conversion-marketing-email-marketing'). If set, it overrides the search keyword.
## `sort` (type: `string`):

Optional sort passed to the App Store (for example 'most_popular', 'top_rated', 'newest'). Leave empty for the default relevance order.
## `fetchDetails` (type: `boolean`):

Open each app page to add the developer/partner name and profile URL, full pricing plans, categories and launch date. Turn off for a faster, lighter run with just the listing fields.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "maxApps": 30,
  "searchQuery": "email marketing",
  "fetchDetails": true
}
