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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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. 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 ## Apify Store Scraper Extract rich actor listings from Apify Store with flexible filtering by URL, keyword, and category. Collect structured metadata for market research, competitor tracking, and portfolio monitoring. This actor is designed for fast, reliable collection at scale. --- ### Features - **URL-based collection** — Start from profile URLs or store endpoint URLs. - **Keyword filtering** — Find actor listings that match your search intent. - **Category filtering** — Narrow results to store categories such as `JOBS` or `AUTOMATION`. - **Pagination support** — Collect across multiple pages with safe limits. - **Clean dataset output** — Records are stored without empty or always-null values. --- ### Use Cases #### Portfolio Monitoring Track listing changes and performance signals for a specific creator profile over time. #### Market Intelligence Analyze how actors are positioned across categories, descriptions, and ratings. #### Competitive Analysis Compare multiple actors by engagement indicators such as bookmarks and reviews. #### Content Research Build datasets of listing descriptions and metadata for downstream analysis workflows. --- ### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `url` | String | No | `"https://apify.com/shahidirfan"` | Profile URL or store URL used as a starting context. | | `keyword` | String | No | `""` | Search term applied to actor listings. | | `category` | String | No | `"All categories"` | Category dropdown including Social media, AI, Agents, Jobs, MCP servers, and more. | | `sort` | String | No | `"Most Relevant"` | Sort dropdown: Most Relevant, Newest, Pouplar, Recently updated. | | `pricingModel` | String | No | `"All pricing models"` | Pricing dropdown: Pay per event, Pay per Usage, Rental. | | `developers` | String | No | `"All developers"` | Developers dropdown: Maintained by Apify or Maintained by Community. | | `results_wanted` | Integer | No | `20` | Maximum number of dataset items to collect. | | `max_pages` | Integer | No | `10` | Maximum number of pages to request. | | `proxyConfiguration` | Object | No | Apify Proxy enabled | Proxy settings for reliable collection. | --- ### Output Data Each item in the dataset may contain: | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `actorFullName` | String | Combined actor identifier in `username/name` format. | | `title` | String | Actor listing title. | | `name` | String | Actor slug name. | | `username` | String | Owner username. | | `url` | String | Listing URL. | | `description` | String | Listing description text. | | `categories` | Array | Category list attached to the actor. | | `bookmarkCount` | Number | Bookmark count from listing metadata. | | `actorReviewRating` | Number | Average review rating rounded to 2 decimals (example: `4.72`). | | `actorReviewCount` | Number | Number of reviews. | | `stats` | Object | Listing statistics block when available. | | `currentPricingInfo` | Object | Pricing-related metadata when available. | | `query` | Object | Effective filters used for the run. | | `fetchedAt` | String | ISO timestamp when item was collected. | --- ### Usage Examples #### Profile URL Run ```json { "url": "https://apify.com/shahidirfan", "category": "All categories", "sort": "Most Relevant", "results_wanted": 20, "max_pages": 5 } ```` #### Keyword Search Run ```json { "keyword": "linkedin", "pricingModel": "Pay per event", "developers": "Maintained by Community", "results_wanted": 30, "max_pages": 10 } ``` #### Category + Keyword Run ```json { "keyword": "job", "category": "Jobs", "sort": "Recently updated", "results_wanted": 50, "max_pages": 20 } ``` *** ### Sample Output ```json { "actorFullName": "shahidirfan/Xing-Jobs-Scraper", "title": "Xing Jobs Scraper", "name": "Xing-Jobs-Scraper", "username": "shahidirfan", "url": "https://apify.com/shahidirfan/xing-jobs-scraper", "categories": [ "JOBS", "DEVELOPER_TOOLS", "AUTOMATION" ], "bookmarkCount": 6, "actorReviewRating": 4.72, "actorReviewCount": 7, "query": { "username": "shahidirfan", "keyword": "", "category": "Jobs" }, "fetchedAt": "2026-04-18T10:00:00.000Z" } ``` *** ### Tips for Best Results #### Choose Clear Filters Use either a profile URL, a focused keyword, or both to reduce noisy results. #### Keep Early Runs Small Start with `results_wanted: 20` to validate output shape quickly, then scale up. #### Use Category Dropdowns Use the built-in category dropdown values such as Jobs, AI, Social media, and MCP servers for tighter targeting. If you want all actors from a profile (for example all 301 actors), choose `All categories`. #### Use Sort and Developer Filters Pick Most Relevant, Newest, Pouplar, or Recently updated, then apply developer maintenance filters to focus results. #### Use Proxy for Reliability Enable proxy configuration for consistent collection across repeated runs. *** ### Integrations Connect extracted data to: - **Google Sheets** — Share listing data with non-technical teams. - **Airtable** — Build searchable actor catalogs. - **Make** — Automate alerts and workflows. - **Zapier** — Trigger downstream actions from fresh datasets. - **Webhooks** — Send results to custom services. Export formats include **JSON**, **CSV**, **Excel**, and **XML**. *** ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I run with only a URL? Yes. A profile URL is enough to collect matching listings. #### Can I run with only a keyword? Yes. The actor can search store listings by keyword without URL input. #### What happens if a field is missing? Empty fields are removed from dataset items to keep outputs clean. #### How do I get more results? Increase `results_wanted` and `max_pages` while keeping practical limits. #### Can I filter by category only? Yes. Provide a category and optionally combine it with a keyword. *** ### Support For issues or feature requests, open a discussion in your Apify actor page support section.
