Chrome Web Store Scraper: Extensions, Reviews & B2B Leads

Extract complete Chrome Extension profiles, exact active user counts, parsed manifest.json permissions, verified publisher/trader emails, legal company names, physical addresses, and user reviews directly from the Chrome Web Store (chromewebstore.google.com) via direct RPC without headless browser overhead.

---

Core Capabilities

1. Extension Profiles, Manifest Security & B2B Publisher Leads (record_type: "extension_profile")

• Adoption & Ranking Metrics: Exact active_users integer, floating-point rating, reviews_count, category, is_featured badge, and is_established_publisher status.
• Verified B2B Publisher / Trader Intelligence: Extracts developer_email (verified trader contact email), trader_company_name (registered legal entity), developer_address (physical office address), verified_domain, website_url, and privacy_policy_url.
• Technical & Manifest Inspection: Parses the embedded manifest.json to extract version, manifest_version (MV2 vs MV3), minimum_chrome_version, permissions, host_permissions, optional_permissions, size, last_updated_at (ISO-8601), supported_languages, and top related_extensions.

2. User Reviews & Churn / Bug Signals (record_type: "extension_review")

• Fast Batched Review Extraction: Queries Chrome Web Store review RPC endpoints (x1DgCd) sorted by newest or helpful, with optional star rating filters (1–5) and automatic pagination.
• Automated Pain-Point Tagging (pain_point_tags): Classifies each review across 7 actionable categories: pricing_billing, customer_support, bugs_reliability, performance_speed, missing_features, usability_setup, and privacy_permissions.
• Churn Lead Flag (is_churn_lead): Identifies dissatisfied users (1–2 stars or reviews mentioning uninstalling, switching to a competitor, or broken functionality).

3. Keyword Search Discovery (searchQueries)

Pass any search keywords (e.g., "shopify", "ai email", "linkedin", "adblock") to automatically discover matching Chrome extensions and extract their profiles and user reviews.
