Shopify App Store Scraper - Apps, Reviews, Pricing, Categories and Full Catalogs

Turn public Shopify App Store search, app pages, reviews, categories, collections, developer portfolios, and localized catalogs into structured datasets for market research and monitoring.

• Eight focused modes in one Actor: search, details, reviews, category, collection, app group, developer, and catalog
• Complete 87-field rich app rows with descriptions, pricing plans, permissions, developer contacts, ratings, media, and discovery context
• Shopify-native search, category, Built for Shopify, multi-rating, date, keyword, country, usage, and developer-reply filters
• Full localized sitemap discovery across apps, partners, categories, features, collections, stories, extensions, and built-in features
• Optional full-details enrichment for every discovered app and persistent change monitoring for scheduled runs
• Concurrent batch processing, deduplication, retries with proxy rotation, and useful partial results when individual inputs fail
• No Shopify login, API key, browser, or proxy setup required; production traffic uses the built-in Apify Proxy
• Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or consume results through the Apify API

What can you do with this Actor?

Mode	Input	Dataset output	Best for
search	Keywords	Ranked 27-field app cards, or 87-field enriched app rows	Keyword rankings and competitor discovery
details	App handles or URLs	One complete 87-field app profile per app	Pricing, permissions, media, and developer research
reviews	App handles or URLs	One 25-field row per merchant review	Sentiment, churn signals, and support analysis
category	Category handles or URLs	Paginated 33-field discovery rows	Category coverage and Built for Shopify research
collection	Collection handles or URLs	Paginated 33-field discovery rows	Curated-market and editorial tracking
appGroup	App-group handles or URLs	Paginated 33-field discovery rows	Shopify-defined app groups
developer	Partner handles or URLs	Paginated 33-field app rows	Developer portfolio intelligence
catalog	One or more catalog types	13-field sitemap rows, optionally enriched for apps	Full-store discovery and recurring inventory snapshots

One mode runs at a time. Discovery rows can be upgraded to the same complete 87-field shape as Details by enabling enrichResults; the source rank and URL remain attached. Every output shape and every nested object key is shown below without ellipses or hidden fields.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor and choose Try for free.
2. Select a mode.
3. Enter keywords, app IDs, developer IDs, or listing URLs for that mode.
4. Set the per-input result limit and optional filters.
5. Start the run, then preview or download the dataset.

The default input runs a working search for email marketing.

Input examples

Search for Shopify apps

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": ["email marketing", "product reviews"],
  "maxResults": 20,
  "language": "en",
  "builtForShopifyOnly": true,

{
  "mode": "details",
  "appIds": [
    "judge-me",
    "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing-sms",
    "https://apps.shopify.com/livemeup/reviews"
  ],
  "language": "en"
}

Full Details and Reviews URLs are normalized automatically. Duplicate handles are removed before requests are made.

Get app details with embedded reviews

{
  "mode": "details",
  "appIds": ["judge-me"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxResults": 50,
  "reviewSort": "newest",
  "reviewScores": ["4", "5"],
  "reviewKeywords": ["support"],
  "language": "en"
}

Collect newest low-rating reviews

{
  "mode": "reviews",
  "appIds": ["judge-me", "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing-sms"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "reviewSort": "newest",
  "reviewScores": ["1", "2"],
  "reviewHasDeveloperReply": false,
  "reviewsSince": "2026-01-01",
  "language": "en"
}

Browse a category and enrich every app

{
  "mode": "category",
  "categoryUrls": ["sales-channels-selling-online"],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "builtForShopifyOnly": true,
  "enrichResults": true,
  "maxConcurrency": 8,
  "language": "en"
}

Use collectionUrls with collection, appGroupUrls with appGroup, or developerIds with developer. Each list accepts handles or full matching Shopify App Store URLs.

Export a localized full catalog

{
  "mode": "catalog",
  "catalogTypes": ["apps", "partners", "categories", "collections"],
  "maxResults": 5000,
  "language": "de"
}

maxResults applies independently to every term, app, listing URL, developer, or catalog type. Omit reviewScores to collect every rating.

The example contains two representative pricing plans, two screenshots, one category, one category feature, one permission group, one editorial placement, one preview review, one similar app, and one included review. The Actor returns every item published in each array. All top-level fields and every nested object field are shown.

Complete review output - 25 top-level fields

Shopify displays the review date as a calendar day rather than an exact timestamp. date and developerReplyDate therefore use ISO YYYY-MM-DD; the original storefront strings remain available in dateText and developerReplyDateText.

When Shopify does not publish a developer reply, all five developerReply* fields remain present with null values.

Complete category, collection, app-group, or developer output - 33 top-level fields

These four modes share one predictable discovery shape. recordType and sourceType identify the chosen source; the example below shows a category row.

Complete catalog output - 13 top-level fields

One catalog row represents one URL published in the selected localized Shopify sitemap.

{
  "recordType": "catalog",
  "catalogType": "apps",
  "catalogUrl": "https://apps.shopify.com/judge-me",
  "catalogSlug": "judge-me",

Missing, removed, or invalid inputs are written to the run log and skipped; the Actor never mixes operational error objects into the user dataset. Other valid inputs continue processing.

Complete discovery and catalog field reference

Category, collection, app-group, and developer rows contain every base app-card field listed under Search except searchTerm and searchRank, plus sourceType, sourceHandle, sourceTitle, sourceUrl, sourceRank, sourcePosition, sourcePage, and sourceResultCount. Their complete 33-field shape is shown above.

Catalog rows contain recordType, catalogType, catalogUrl, catalogSlug, appId, developerId, lastModified, language, scrapedAt, monitorStatus, monitorKey, previousScrapedAt, and changedFields.

Shopify's current public review pages do not expose reviewer profile images, app-version numbers, review headlines, or reliable helpful-vote totals. The Actor does not invent these values.

Pricing model meanings

pricingModel	Meaning
free	Shopify labels the app as completely free
free_plan_available	At least one free plan is advertised alongside optional paid plans
free_to_install	Installation has no upfront subscription charge; usage or external charges may still apply
paid_with_free_trial	The search/details summary advertises a trial but not a permanent free plan
paid	A paid recurring price is displayed
other	Shopify publishes a pricing label outside the recognized models

The original storefront wording is always preserved in pricingText. Individual plan labels, prices, billing periods, yearly-price text, additional-charge notes, trial days, trial text, and complete feature lists are preserved in pricingPlans.

maxResults does not limit plain Details rows because each input app produces at most one profile. It limits embedded reviews when includeReviews is enabled. Client-side review filters are applied before the result limit, so the Actor can continue through additional pages to find enough matching rows.

Performance and cost

The Actor is ready for pay-per-event pricing. Search, app details, reviews, category rows, collection rows, app-group rows, developer apps, and catalog rows use separate chargeable events, so rates can reflect the work required by each output type. Check the Actor's Pricing tab for the current plan and rates before a large run. Enrichment is charged as app details, and each embedded review is charged as a review.

The Actor uses lightweight HTML requests instead of launching a browser, which keeps resource usage focused on the pages required by the selected mode.

Retries and reliability

All Shopify traffic is routed through Apify Proxy automatically; no proxy field is exposed in the input and direct Shopify traffic is disabled in the runtime client.

HTTP 403, 408, 425, 429, server errors, timeouts, connection failures, and structurally invalid HTML are retried with exponential backoff and randomized delay. Confirmed 404/410 pages and Shopify's explicit “page doesn't exist” template are terminal and are not retried.

Search apps and reviews are deduplicated by their stable IDs. If one app fails in a batch, the Actor logs the categorized failure and continues with the remaining handles. Empty search pages and apps with No reviews yet are successful zero-result cases, not errors.

API usage

Replace YOUR_USERNAME and APIFY_TOKEN:

curl -X POST \
  "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/YOUR_USERNAME~shopify-app-store-scraper/runs?token=APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "mode": "details",
    "appIds": ["judge-me", "klaviyo-email-marketing-sms"],
    "includeReviews": false,
    "language": "en"
  }'

After the run finishes, records are available in the default dataset. The Actor can also connect to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks, schedules, or any application that can call a REST API.

YOUR_USERNAME~shopify-app-store-scraper is an example Actor identifier. Replace it with the identifier shown on the Actor's API page.

Best for / not for

Best for: public Shopify App Store discovery, app catalogs, pricing comparisons, review analysis, developer research, and recurring monitoring.

Not for: installing or managing Shopify apps, accessing merchant stores, collecting account-protected information, or guaranteeing data that Shopify does not publish publicly.

Limits and good to know

• One mode is executed per run.
• maxResults accepts 1-50,000 and applies independently to each input source; Shopify can expose fewer matching pages than requested.
• Search and discovery rows are lightweight unless enrichResults is enabled.
• Catalog mode reads Shopify's public localized sitemaps; supported catalogs and locale coverage remain controlled by Shopify.
• Review pages currently contain approximately 10 reviews per page, so larger limits require additional requests.
• Shopify localizes page text. Normalized dates are populated when the displayed format is recognized; the original text is always preserved.
• Apps without reviews return zero review rows and do not trigger retries.
• Missing or invalid source pages are logged and skipped while the rest of the batch continues; operational errors are never stored as result rows.
• Optional fields can be null or empty when an app does not publish the relevant data.
• maxConcurrency controls simultaneous work, while one logical pagination task keeps its proxy session until a retry rotates it.
• The Actor accesses public Shopify App Store information only. It does not install apps, access stores, or read account-protected data.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Shopify account or API key?

No. The Actor uses public Shopify App Store pages and handles network routing automatically.

Can I pass full Shopify App Store URLs?

Yes. Handles, Details URLs, and Reviews URLs can be mixed in the same appIds array.

Can I search several keywords in one run?

Yes. Add multiple values to searchTerms. maxResults applies independently to each term.

Can I collect only negative reviews?

Yes. Set reviewScores to ["1", "2"]. Leave it empty to collect all ratings.

What is the difference between newest and relevant?

• newest requests Shopify's newest-to-oldest ordering.
• relevant requests Shopify's relevance-ranked ordering.
• highest and lowest traverse selected star-rating groups in descending or ascending order.

Why is a zero-review run successful with an empty dataset?

Reviews mode stores one row per actual review. If Shopify says No reviews yet, there are no review rows to save. The Actor logs the successful zero-result outcome and stops without requesting another page.

Why is score null instead of zero for a new app?

Zero reviews means the app has not received a rating. null distinguishes “not yet rated” from a real numerical score.

Does Free to install mean the app is completely free?

No. It means there is no upfront installation subscription. Usage-based, transaction, or externally billed charges can still apply. Check pricingPlans, additionalChargesText, and pricingDisclaimer.

Can I schedule recurring runs?

Yes. Use Apify schedules and integrations to run searches, details checks, or review collection automatically and send the resulting dataset to your workflow.
