AppSumo Scraper

Pull software lifetime deals from AppSumo at scale — deal price vs. original price, computed discount %, full multi-tier pricing plans, star ratings, review counts, lifetime-deal status, codes remaining, and company facts for every product. Built for SaaS founders, deal hunters, and market researchers who need a clean, structured feed of AppSumo's marketplace without copying deals off the site one card at a time.

Why This Scraper?

• Full multi-tier pricing plans per deal — not just the headline price. Every plan tier (License Tier 1, 2, 3…) comes with its own price, original price, and the exact terms included at that tier.
• Original vs. deal price with computed discount % — each product carries originalPrice, dealPrice, and a ready-to-use discountPercent so you can rank deals by how deep the markdown really is.
• Lifetime-deal status and codes remaining — an isLifetimeDeal flag plus codesRemaining when AppSumo exposes the counter, so you can spot deals that are genuinely running out.
• Star rating and review count on every deal — the aggregate rating (out of 5) and reviewCount land on each row for instant social-proof filtering.
• Seven software categories, six sort orders — filter to Marketing & Sales, Operations, Media Tools, Development & IT, Build It Yourself, Customer Experience, or Finance, and sort by Recommended, Newest, Highest Rated, Price Low→High, Price High→Low, or Ending Soon.
• Company facts per product — companySize, headquarters location, and founded year, pulled from each product's founder profile.
• Search by keyword or paste any AppSumo URL — feed plain search terms, category names, or product/category/search URLs directly. Every input type lands in the same flat dataset.
• Rich media on every row — product logo, featuredImage, and a full images gallery, plus a tagline, long description, and features list.

Getting Started

Search by Keyword

The simplest possible run — one topic, 100 deals:

{
    "searchQueries": ["AI writing"],
    "maxResults": 100
}

Browse a Category, Sorted

Pull the newest deals in a specific category:

{
    "categories": ["marketing-sales"],
    "sortBy": "newest",
    "maxResults": 200
}

Paste AppSumo URLs

Feed a product, category, or search URL directly — the scraper auto-detects each:

{
    "startUrls": [
        "https://appsumo.com/products/tidycal/",
        "https://appsumo.com/software/finance/",
        "https://appsumo.com/search/?query=email"
    ],
    "maxResults": 100
}

    "maxResults": 500
}

Input Reference

What to Scrape

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
searchQueries	string[]	["AI"]	Keywords to search AppSumo for, such as "AI writing", "email marketing", or "video editing". Each term is searched separately. Leave empty if you are using category names or URLs instead.
categories	select[]	[]	Only collect deals from these AppSumo software categories. Leave empty to include all. Options: Marketing & Sales, Operations, Media Tools, Development & IT, Build It Yourself, Customer Experience, Finance.
startUrls	string[]	[]	Paste AppSumo URLs directly — a search results page, a category/collection page, or an individual product page. Useful when you already know the exact pages you want.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of products to collect in total. Set to 0 to collect all available products, up to an internal safety limit. Recommended: 100–1000 to keep costs predictable.
sortBy	select	Recommended	Order in which products are collected. Options: Recommended, Newest First, Highest Rated, Price: Low to High, Price: High to Low, Ending Soon. Applies to search and category results.

If you leave every field empty, the newest deals are collected.

Tips for Best Results

• Start small. Set maxResults to 10–50 on your first run to confirm the data matches your needs, then scale up.
• Snapshot a whole niche with a category URL. Paste a category page like https://appsumo.com/software/finance/ into startUrls to capture every current deal in that niche in one run — ideal for a daily diff.
• Sort by Ending Soon to catch expiring deals. Set sortBy to Ending Soon to surface deals about to disappear first — perfect for last-chance watchlists and alerts.
• Combine inputs freely. Mix searchQueries, categories, and startUrls in a single run; results are deduplicated by product ID so overlapping feeds never double-count.
• Use category names, not URLs, for clean filtering. Selecting from the seven category options is more reliable than hand-building category URLs.
• Set maxResults to 0 to exhaust a feed. Use it when you want every deal in a category and don't want to guess the total up front.
• Rank by discount, not just price. Sort or filter your exported data on discountPercent to find the deepest markdowns rather than only the cheapest tickets.

Pricing

From $2.50 per 1,000 results — a flat pay-per-result rate that undercuts typical marketplace scrapers while bundling full tier pricing and company facts at no extra charge. No compute or time-based charges — you pay per result, plus a small fixed per-run start fee. Bronze, Silver, and Gold subscribers pay progressively less; the table below shows total cost at each discount tier.

Results	No discount	Bronze	Silver	Gold
100	$0.30	$0.28	$0.27	$0.25
1,000	$3.00	$2.80	$2.65	$2.50
10,000	$30.00	$28.00	$26.50	$25.00
100,000	$300.00	$280.00	$265.00	$250.00

A "result" is any product row in the output dataset. The platform start fee is additional and depends on your Apify plan.
