Apify Store Scraper

What does Apify Store Scraper do?

Apify Store Scraper collects structured actor listings from the Apify Store. Use a profile URL, keyword, category, pricing model, or developer filter to build datasets for marketplace research, competitor monitoring, actor discovery, and portfolio analysis.

Each dataset item can include the actor name, owner, listing URL, description, categories, pricing information, bookmarks, ratings, reviews, usage statistics, and the filters used for the run. Results can be collected from multiple pages and exported through Apify in JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML format.

Tips for Best Results

• Use a complete Apify profile or Store URL when you want results from a specific creator or marketplace context.
• Start with results_wanted: 20 to confirm the filters and output shape before larger runs.
• Combine keyword and category to reduce unrelated listings.
• Use Newest or Recently updated when monitoring changes over time.
• Increase max_pages when the selected filters match more listings than the first page contains.
• Expect some fields to be empty when an actor listing does not publish that information.
