## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

# README

## Chrome Web Store Scraper – Extensions, Themes, Reviews, Manifests and CRX Source

Extract public Chrome Web Store search results, categories, Top Charts, complete extension or theme details, developer and privacy data, manifests, reviews, and downloadable CRX/ZIP source packages in one Apify Actor.

- Search extensions, themes, or both with native continuation-token pagination
- Browse extension and theme categories and collect Trending, Popular, or New & notable charts
- Extract listing, developer, D-U-N-S, trader, localization, privacy, media, and complete manifest data
- Calculate transparent manifest security signals such as broad host access and high-risk permissions
- Filter discovery results by rating, users, featured status, or publisher verification
- Filter reviews by score, keyword, date range, or rolling recent-day window
- Download public extension or theme packages as CRX, ZIP, or both to the run Key-Value Store
- Process batches with built-in country-targeted Apify Residential Proxy; no Google account, API key, browser, login cookie, or proxy setup is required
- Export results as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or JSONL, or access them through the Apify API

### What can you do with this Actor?

| Mode | Input | Output | Best for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `search` | One or more keywords | Ranked extension/theme records | Keyword research, competitor discovery, catalog building |
| `category` | Category URLs or paths | Paginated category records | Category monitoring and market mapping |
| `topCharts` | Trending, Popular, and/or New & notable | Ranked chart records | Momentum tracking and featured-product research |
| `details` | Item IDs or URLs | Complete listing, developer, privacy, manifest, security, media, related-item, and optional source/review data | Due diligence, audits, monitoring, enrichment |
| `reviews` | Item IDs or URLs | Public reviews and developer replies, optionally enriched with parent-item metrics | Voice-of-customer and support analysis |

One mode runs per execution. Use IDs discovered by Search, Category, or Top Charts as Details or Reviews inputs in a later run.

### Quick start

1. Open the Actor and click **Try for free**.
2. Keep `mode` set to `search` and enter a keyword such as `AI assistant`.
3. Choose extensions, themes, or both and set `maxResults`.
4. Click **Start**.
5. Preview the dataset, download it, or pass discovered IDs into Details or Reviews.

The default input is a small working search that requires no credentials or network configuration.

### Input examples

#### Search extensions and themes

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": ["AI assistant", "dark theme"],
  "itemType": "all",
  "maxResults": 20,
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US"
}
```

`maxResults` applies independently to every search term. One dataset row represents one accepted store item for one term unless cross-input deduplication is enabled.

#### Browse categories

```json
{
  "mode": "category",
  "categoryUrls": [
    "/category/extensions/productivity/tools",
    "/category/themes/animals"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "minRating": 4,
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US"
}
```

#### Collect Top Charts

```json
{
  "mode": "topCharts",
  "charts": ["trending", "popular", "notable"],
  "maxResults": 25,
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US"
}
```

#### Extract details, security signals, reviews, and source

```json
{
  "mode": "details",
  "extensionIds": [
    "https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatgpt/hehggadaopoacecdllhhajmbjkdcmajg",
    "becfinhbfclcgokjlobojlnldbfillpf"
  ],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxResults": 20,
  "includeSecurityAnalysis": true,
  "downloadSource": true,
  "sourceFormat": "both",
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US"
}
```

#### Filter and enrich reviews

```json
{
  "mode": "reviews",
  "extensionIds": ["becfinhbfclcgokjlobojlnldbfillpf"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "reviewSort": "newest",
  "reviewScores": ["1", "2"],
  "reviewKeywords": ["privacy", "tracking", "broken"],
  "recentDays": 90,
  "includeExtensionInfo": true,
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US"
}
```

`includedReviews` always uses the complete 36-field nested review shape shown above. It does not contain `recordType` because it is embedded inside the Details row. When source download is disabled or unavailable, the same source keys remain present with `false`, `null`, and a populated `sourceError` where applicable.

#### Complete `review` output – 37 top-level fields

When `includeExtensionInfo` is `false` or enrichment fails, the six parent-item fields remain present with `null`. Developer reply fields remain present with `null` when the publisher has not replied.

#### Complete `error` output – 10 top-level fields

```json
{
  "recordType": "error",
  "mode": "details",
  "extensionId": "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "url": "https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/_/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "errorType": "not_found",
  "errorMessage": "Chrome Web Store item does not exist: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa",
  "httpStatus": null,
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en-US",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-10T10:00:00Z"
}
```

An existing item with no reviews is successful and produces zero standalone review rows. Removed or unknown IDs produce the explicit error row above without a custom billing event and do not stop other IDs from being processed. Keep the synthetic `apify-default-dataset-item` event disabled so diagnostic rows remain free and successful rows are not charged twice.

### What Chrome Web Store data can you extract?

The Search, Category, and Top Charts shapes share the same 85 data fields plus their mode-specific `recordType`. Details adds listing, developer, privacy, media, related-item, source, availability, and request-context fields. Reviews use a separate 36-field data shape plus `recordType`.

#### Discovery and common item fields

| Category | Complete field inventory |
| --- | --- |
| Identity | `recordType`, `extensionId`, `url`, `title`, `shortDescription`, `itemType`, `itemTypeCode` |
| Visuals | `icon`, `promotionalImage`, `secondaryPromotionalImage` |
| Popularity | `rating`, `ratingCount`, `userCount`, `featured` |
| Publisher | `publisherName`, `publisherWebsite`, `publisherVerified` |
| Taxonomy | `categoryId`, `categoryName`, `categoryCode` |
| Release | `version`, `publishedAt` |
| Manifest identity | `manifestVersion`, `manifestName`, `manifestDescription`, `defaultLocale`, `minimumChromeVersion`, `versionName`, `author`, `homepageUrl`, `updateUrl`, `manifestKey` |
| Manifest permissions | `permissions`, `optionalPermissions`, `hostPermissions`, `optionalHostPermissions` |
| Manifest UI and runtime | `icons`, `action`, `background`, `contentScripts`, `webAccessibleResources`, `commands`, `sidePanel`, `contentSecurityPolicy`, `externallyConnectable`, `oauth2`, `chromeUrlOverrides`, `declarativeNetRequest`, `omnibox`, `theme`, `storage`, `optionsPage`, `optionsUi`, `devtoolsPage`, `incognito`, `offlineEnabled` |

| Raw source | `manifest` |
| Discovery context | `sourceType`, `searchTerm`, `categoryPath`, `chart`, `country`, `language`, `searchRank`, `searchPosition`, `searchPage`, `scrapedAt` |

The security score is a deterministic signal derived from the public manifest. It is useful for prioritization, not a malware verdict or a substitute for code review.

### Use cases

#### Chrome extension market and keyword research

Run several commercial keywords, filter by rating and users, deduplicate repeated listings, then compare publishers, categories, featured status, permissions, and update activity.

#### Publisher and compliance due diligence

Use Details to review legal identity, D-U-N-S number, trader status, support channels, privacy declarations, handled data types, public manifest permissions, and the original source package when available.

#### Security triage and source review

Prioritize listings by broad host access, Manifest V2, high-risk capabilities, content scripts, remote-code indicators, and the derived score. Download CRX/ZIP packages to a Key-Value Store for authorized deeper analysis.

#### Review intelligence and support monitoring

Collect newest, most helpful, lowest-rated, or highest-rated reviews. Filter complaints by score, text, date, version, helpful votes, and whether the developer replied.

#### Category, chart, and localization monitoring

Schedule recurring Category or Top Charts runs and compare snapshots. Repeat Details with different `language` values to observe publisher-provided localized titles, descriptions, and metadata.

### Performance and cost

The Actor is ready for pay-per-event billing with distinct events so each workload can be priced separately:

| Event name | Emitted for | Count |
| --- | --- | ---: |
| `search-result` | Accepted Search row | Per dataset row |
| `category-result` | Accepted Category row | Per dataset row |
| `top-chart-result` | Accepted Top Charts row | Per dataset row |
| `item-detail` | Details row | Per dataset row |
| `review` | Standalone or embedded review | Per review |
| `source-download` | Successfully stored source package | Per item, not per CRX/ZIP file |

Explicit not-found rows are stored without a custom charge event. Do not create an `error` event. Also remove the synthetic `apify-default-dataset-item` event from the Actor pricing configuration; otherwise Apify charges every default Dataset row in addition to the custom result event.

Embedded reviews remain inside one Details dataset row but are charged individually as `review` events. The Actor reserves the Details event before trimming embedded reviews against a run maximum-charge limit. It also reserves the Details cost before accepting a `source-download` event.

Final public event prices and repeatable Apify run measurements are not stored in this repository. Check the Actor's **Pricing** tab for current prices. Runtime and platform usage mainly grow with source pages, review pagination, Details enrichment, CRX size, retries, and proxy traffic.

### API usage

Replace `USERNAME~chrome-web-store-data-scraper` if the published Actor ID differs:

```bash
curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/USERNAME~chrome-web-store-data-scraper/runs?token=APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "mode": "search",
    "searchTerms": ["password manager"],
    "itemType": "extensions",
    "maxResults": 20,
    "country": "US",
    "language": "en-US"
  }'
```

Use the default dataset API to export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or JSONL. Connect finished runs to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n, Airbyte, webhooks, Slack, or a data warehouse.

The Output tab uses one unified **Results** view with all 167 top-level fields across discovery, Details, Reviews, source metadata, and diagnostic rows. Fields that do not apply to a row's `recordType` remain empty, so users never need to switch mode-specific tabs or open the automatic All fields view.

Source files are stored under keys such as `SOURCE-ITEM_ID.crx` and `SOURCE-ITEM_ID.zip` in the run's default Key-Value Store. The Details row supplies the exact key and SHA-256 value.

### Best for / not for

**Best for:** Chrome extension and theme discovery, public publisher research, compliance checks, manifest/security triage, source-package collection, review analysis, and recurring market monitoring.

**Not for:** Chrome Developer Dashboard data, private account information, paid/private extension code, browser telemetry, automatic malware verdicts, extension installation, or authenticated user activity.

### Limits and good to know

- One mode runs per execution; each mode accepts batches of its relevant input.
- `maxResults` applies per discovery source or per reviewed item. Plain Details returns one row per valid ID. `0` means all source-exposed results with a 10,000-item safety cap.
- Chrome Web Store currently exposes fixed Top Charts lists of up to 25 items per selected chart.
- Rating, users, featured, publisher-verification, review-score, review-keyword, and review-date filters are applied after public source records are received. The Actor may request additional pages to reach the requested number of accepted rows.
- With newest-first review sorting, a `reviewsSince` or `recentDays` boundary can stop pagination early. Other sorts may need to inspect more pages.
- `language` requests publisher-provided localization. The store can fall back when a translation is unavailable.
- `country` selects the built-in Apify Residential Proxy country; Chrome Web Store does not expose a separate stable country parameter in these RPC calls.
- Source download is supported for public extensions and themes through Google's update service. Unavailable packages return source metadata with `sourceDownloadAvailable: false` and `sourceError`.
- Missing scalar values are `null`; missing lists and map-like manifest components are `[]` or `{}`. Every documented top-level key remains stable for its row shape.
- Search/category pagination and reviews are deduplicated by source ID. Cross-term/category/chart deduplication is optional.
- Requests retry rate limits, blocks, transient HTTP/network/proxy failures, and invalid structures with exponential backoff. A failed input does not discard successful inputs.
- Removed IDs return explicit error rows. Other unrecoverable operations are logged; if every non-terminal operation fails, the run fails visibly.
- All target traffic is forced through country-targeted Apify Residential Proxy. No user proxy field exists, no direct fallback is allowed, and no captured browser cookie is included in requests or source code.

### Frequently asked questions

#### What input should I provide?

Use keywords for Search, category URLs/paths for Category, chart names for Top Charts, or 32-character Chrome Web Store IDs/full item URLs for Details and Reviews.

#### Can it scrape both extensions and themes?

Yes. Search supports `extensions`, `themes`, or `all`; Category accepts both extension and theme category paths; Details and CRX/ZIP download support both item types. Reviews still depend on what Chrome Web Store exposes for the item.

#### How many results can I extract?

Set `maxResults` from 0 through 10,000 per input. Zero asks for every source-exposed result up to the safety cap. The source may expose fewer results, and Top Charts currently expose up to 25 per chart.

#### Why are some fields empty?

Publishers do not provide every optional developer, trader, privacy, localization, media, or manifest field. The stable key remains present with `null`, `[]`, or `{}` so downstream schemas do not shift.

#### Is the security score a malware verdict?

No. It is a transparent prioritization signal derived from permissions and manifest capabilities. Validate risks against your policy and perform authorized code review where needed.

#### Can I download extension source code?

Details mode can store the publicly distributed extension or theme CRX, its embedded ZIP, or both. The Actor reports keys, sizes, hashes, CRX version, and errors. Availability is controlled by Google's update service.

#### Can I process multiple inputs and schedule runs?

Yes. All modes accept batches where applicable. Use Apify schedules for recurring snapshots and webhooks to notify another system after completion.

#### Do I need a Google account, API key, cookie, or proxy?

No. Public data is collected without Google authentication. The Actor creates a mandatory Apify Residential Proxy internally and does not expose proxy or cookie inputs.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapingmonkey/chrome-web-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 = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapingmonkey/chrome-web-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 '{}' |
apify call scrapingmonkey/chrome-web-store-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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