## Pricing

from $1.70 / 1,000 app delivereds

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Shopify App Store Stats (Apps da Shopify App Store por categoria)

Given a Shopify App Store category, lists its apps with rating, review count, price, developer, launch date and languages, for Shopify app developers, agencies and investors mapping the app market.

**Use cases:**

- A Shopify app developer scans a category (inventory, upsell, reviews) to find gaps competitors haven't filled.
- An agency benchmarks its client's app rating and review count against the top apps in its category.
- An investor tracks how recent the top apps of a category are, as a signal of an open market.

### Example input

```json
{
  "categoriaOuTermo": "inventory-management",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

`categoriaOuTermo` is the category slug from the store URL (`apps.shopify.com/browse/<slug>`), for example `marketing`, `inventory-management`, `store-design`. Free-text search is not supported: Shopify's search page never finishes rendering for a plain HTTP client.

### Example output

Real run on 11/09/2026 with the input above (4 of 39 rows, `handle`, `coletado_em` and `url_origem` omitted):

```json
{"nome": "Essent Estimated Delivery Date", "nota": 5, "reviews": 978, "preco": "Free", "desenvolvedor": "Essential Apps", "lancado_em": "2025-06-06", "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/essential-estimated-delivery", "idiomas": ["English"]}
{"nome": "Packlink PRO Shipping Platform", "nota": 4.8, "reviews": 908, "preco": "Free plan available", "desenvolvedor": "AUCTANE S.L.U.", "lancado_em": "2020-04-07", "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/packlink-pro", "idiomas": ["German", "English", "Spanish", "French", "Italian"]}
{"nome": "Order Printer Templates", "nota": 4.9, "reviews": 777, "preco": "Free to install", "desenvolvedor": "Order Printer", "lancado_em": "2014-05-01", "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/order-printer-templates", "idiomas": ["English", "German", "French", "Portuguese (Brazil)"]}
{"nome": "CedCommerce Amazon Channel", "nota": 4.6, "reviews": 1160, "preco": "Free to install", "desenvolvedor": "CedCommerce", "lancado_em": "2021-06-18", "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/amazon-by-cedcommerce", "idiomas": ["English"]}
```

(`idiomas` of the third row shortened here; the real row lists 15 languages.)

### Price

US$ 2.00 per 1,000 results, no subscription. Developer, launch date and languages are included.

### How to use

- **API:** call this actor via the Apify API with your token and the JSON input above.
- **Schedule:** run it weekly for a category to catch new competitors as they reach the top.
- **n8n / Make / Zapier:** connect via the Apify integration and route the dataset into a spreadsheet or CRM.

### Limitations

- A category page shows about 40 apps (the ones Shopify ranks on that page); the Actor returns those. Run several categories for a wider map.
- `incluirDetalhes` (on by default) opens each app page to read developer, launch date and languages. Turn it off for a faster run with only the card fields.
- If Shopify changes the app-card markup, the run fails with a clear error naming the broken selector, rather than a silent empty dataset. Please open an issue if a run fails.

This actor collects only publicly visible data from the Shopify App Store and respects the site's terms of service.

### Em português

Dada uma categoria da Shopify App Store, lista os apps com nota, avaliações, preço, desenvolvedor, data de lançamento e idiomas, para dev de app Shopify, agência e investidor.

Casos de uso: um dev de app varre uma categoria para achar espaços que os concorrentes não preencheram; uma agência compara a nota do app de um cliente com os principais concorrentes; um investidor olha quão novos são os apps do topo de uma categoria como sinal de mercado aberto.

Preço: US$ 2,00 por 1.000 resultados, sem mensalidade.

# Actor input Schema

## `categoriaOuTermo` (type: `string`):

A Shopify App Store category slug, e.g. 'inventory-management', 'marketing-and-conversion', 'store-design'. Free-text search terms do NOT work: the /search page loads results client-side and never finishes rendering, even in a headless browser.

## `maximo` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of results to return.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stops crawling after this many results are collected.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Proxy settings (Apify proxy by default).

## `permitirJina` (type: `boolean`):

Fallback to the free r.jina.ai renderer only if the direct fetch returns no app cards. Third-party service without SLA.

## `incluirDetalhes` (type: `boolean`):

Opens each app page (one extra request per app) to add developer, launch date and languages.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "categoriaOuTermo": "marketing",
  "maximo": 30,
  "maxItems": 30,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": []
  },
  "permitirJina": false,
  "incluirDetalhes": true
}
```

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapewise/shopify-app-store-stats").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) => {

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "categoriaOuTermo": "marketing" }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "categoriaOuTermo": "marketing"
}' |
apify call scrapewise/shopify-app-store-stats --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
