## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 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.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "extensionIdsOrUrls": [
        "gppongmhjkpfnbhagpmjfkannfbllamg",
        "ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("storeintel/chrome-web-store-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "extensionIdsOrUrls": [
        "gppongmhjkpfnbhagpmjfkannfbllamg",
        "ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("storeintel/chrome-web-store-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "extensionIdsOrUrls": [
    "gppongmhjkpfnbhagpmjfkannfbllamg",
    "ddkjiahejlhfcafbddmgiahcphecmpfh"

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,storeintel/chrome-web-store-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
