ThemeForest Search Listings Scraper — WordPress Theme Data API

Scrapes ThemeForest (Envato Market) public search and category listing cards into clean JSON on Apify — titles, prices, authors, sales, ratings, categories, and preview images for marketplace research.

Unofficial community Actor — not affiliated with Envato Pty Ltd. or ThemeForest. Collects only publicly visible search/listing card fields. No login, no seller dashboards, no private Envato APIs. Use responsibly with polite rate limits.

Try it in under 5 minutes

Who for: WordPress agencies, theme resellers, competitive intelligence tools, and marketers who need ThemeForest search→listing rows as structured JSON/CSV.

1. Try free — Apify includes $5/month free credit for new and free-plan users. Enough to pull a first niche batch. PPE is $1.20 / 1,000 listings.
2. Paste a search query (e.g. wordpress agency) or a public category URL like https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress.
3. Export CSV/JSON from the run dataset.

Why this Actor

ThemeForest is the global Envato marketplace for WordPress themes and site templates. Apify Store has near-zero dedicated ThemeForest listing scrapers (Elements/CodeCanyon Actors exist; ThemeForest search cards do not). This Actor focuses on reliable public listing-card rows at $1.20 / 1k.

Built with Crawlee CheerioCrawler on public HTML. Defaults to Apify UNBLOCKER (ThemeForest is Cloudflare-protected; datacenter IPs usually get a challenge page). Bounded concurrency (2) and ~24 req/min.

What it scrapes

Public search / category pages only:

1. Search queries — builds https://themeforest.net/search/{term}?term=... with optional sort and page.
2. Start URLs — public /search/... or /category/... URLs you paste.
3. Card fields — listingId, title, itemUrl, price, priceCurrency, originalPrice, author, authorUrl, sales, rating, reviewCount, category, tags, thumbnail, previewUrl, isOnSale, plus provenance (searchQuery, sourceUrl, scrapedAt).

Out of MVP: full item description HTML, review text crawl, author portfolio-wide catalogs, license purchase flows.

Never requested: login, checkout, cart configure endpoints as primary crawl targets, or private seller APIs.

Pricing (PPE)

$1.20 / 1,000 listings via custom event listing-scraped ($0.0012 each), plus a small apify-actor-start ($0.00005). No platform-usage pass-through. The synthetic event apify-default-dataset-item is not enabled, so a listing is not billed twice.

Proxy note: Unblocker / Residential bandwidth is billed by Apify separately from PPE. Prefer UNBLOCKER; RESIDENTIAL is also supported with apifyProxyCountry: "US" (or GB).

Memory: 512–2048 MB (default 1024).

Example input

{
  "searchQueries": ["wordpress agency"],
  "sort": "sales",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "maxPages": 3,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": ["UNBLOCKER"]
  }
}

Or pass explicit URLs:

{
  "startUrls": [
    "https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress",
    "https://themeforest.net/search/shopify%20fashion?term=shopify%20fashion&sort=date"
  ],
  "maxItems": 50,
  "maxPages": 2
}

Example output

{
  "listingId": "20264492",
  "title": "WoodMart - Multipurpose WooCommerce Theme",
  "itemUrl": "https://themeforest.net/item/woodmart-woocommerce-theme/20264492",

}

Anti-bot / troubleshooting

ThemeForest protects public pages with Cloudflare. If a run returns 0 items:

1. Ensure proxyConfiguration.useApifyProxy: true with apifyProxyGroups: ["UNBLOCKER"].
2. Retry with ["RESIDENTIAL"] and apifyProxyCountry: "US".
3. Lower maxPages — concurrency is already capped; avoid hammering.
4. Confirm your query/category returns results in a normal browser.
