## Pricing

from $0.90 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

### What is VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper?

VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper is an Apify Actor that looks up any VS Code extension on the [Visual Studio Marketplace](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/vscode) and returns **installs, ratings, version, categories, tags, repository link and license — one clean row per extension**. Give it an extension id (`ms-python.python`), a marketplace item URL, or `search:<keyword>` to pull back the top matches for that keyword. Every lookup goes straight to the same `extensionquery` gallery API the VS Code editor itself calls to populate the Extensions panel: no HTML scraping, no anti-bot wall, no API key.

### What data does VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper extract?

VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper extracts 23 fields per matched extension:

| Field                                                             | Type            | Description                                                                                       |

| `categories`, `tags`                                              | array           | Marketplace categories and up to 30 publisher-set search tags                                     |
| `repositoryUrl`, `license`, `preRelease`                          | string, boolean | Source repository link, license URL (when published) and pre-release flag                         |
| `marketplaceUrl`                                                  | string          | Direct link to the extension's Marketplace page                                                   |
| `query`, `error`, `scrapedAt`                                     | string          | The input entry this row came from, an error message if it could not be resolved, and check time  |

### How to use VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper

1. Paste your extension ids, marketplace URLs or `search:<keyword>` entries into **Extensions or searches**, e.g. `ms-python.python`, `https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode`, `search:markdown`.
2. Raise **Search result limit** (1-100) if a `search:` entry should pull back more candidates than the default 25.
3. Click **Start**, then export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML from the Output tab.

### Example input

```json
{
    "queries": ["ms-python.python", "esbenp.prettier-vscode", "search:markdown"],
    "searchLimit": 25,
    "maxConcurrency": 3

### Pricing

VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing: **$0.0015 per extension result, i.e. $1.50 per 1,000 rows**, plus a negligible actor-start fee, platform usage included. A direct extension id or URL lookup is one gallery API call for one row; a `search:` entry is one call that can return up to 100 rows. Set **Maximum cost per run** and the Actor trims the query list to what the budget covers instead of overspending.

### VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper vs. manual Marketplace browsing

Checking install counts, ratings and version freshness for a list of extensions one at a time on marketplace.visualstudio.com means dozens of tab switches with no export button. This Actor takes the whole list — ids, URLs or keywords mixed together — and returns one flat, scored dataset you can sort, filter or feed into a spreadsheet or BI tool, and it can run on a schedule so you catch the day a competitor's extension ships a new version or its rating drops.

### Using VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper with AI agents and MCP

VS Code Marketplace Extension Scraper is pay-per-event with limited permissions — the two requirements for an Actor to be callable through the Apify MCP server at `mcp.apify.com`. An agent passes `queries` and gets back one structured row per matched extension, ready to compare install counts, spot an unmaintained dependency, or shortlist extensions for a keyword without ever touching HTML. The same run works from n8n, Make, Zapier and LangChain through Apify's integrations.

### FAQ

**What counts as a valid query?** A `publisher.name` extension id (e.g. `esbenp.prettier-vscode`), a full `https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=...` URL, or `search:<keyword>`. Anything else comes back as a row with `error` set instead of a silently dropped item.

**Why is `license` sometimes null?** Not every publisher fills in the Marketplace's license-link field, even when the extension ships an OSS license inside its repository. Check `repositoryUrl` for the source when `license` is null.

**What are the limitations?** `categories` and `tags` reflect what the publisher set at publish time and can be empty for very old extensions. Search ranking mirrors the Marketplace's own relevance sort, which is not guaranteed to be stable between runs. A failing query still produces a row, with the reason in `error`.

**Is this legal to run?** Yes. The Actor only calls the Marketplace's own public gallery API — the same endpoint the VS Code editor and marketplace.visualstudio.com use — and returns metadata publishers already made public.

**Can I export to CSV or Excel?** Yes, from the Output tab or the API, using the ready-made **Overview** view or any custom field selection.

### Support and feedback

Found an extension whose id or URL wasn't recognised, or a field that should be extracted but isn't? Open an issue on the **Issues** tab.

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Enter what to look up, one row is returned per matched extension. Three formats work: an extension id like ms-python.python, a full marketplace URL like https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=esbenp.prettier-vscode, or search:<keyword> (e.g. search:prettier) to return the top matching extensions for that keyword.

## `searchLimit` (type: `integer`):

Enter the maximum number of extensions to return per search:<keyword> entry, e.g. 25. Extension id and URL lookups always return exactly one row and ignore this setting.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Enter how many queries to look up in parallel, e.g. 3. Each query is a single request to the Marketplace gallery API; raise this for long lists, lower it if you see rate-limit errors.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "ms-python.python",
    "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    "search:markdown"
  ],
  "searchLimit": 25,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `extensions` (type: `string`):

All matched extensions — download as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

# 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 = {
    "queries": [
        "ms-python.python",
        "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
        "search:markdown"
    ],
    "searchLimit": 25,
    "maxConcurrency": 3
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("webdatatools/vscode-marketplace-extensions").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);

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "queries": [
    "ms-python.python",
    "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    "search:markdown"
  ],
  "searchLimit": 25,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}' |
apify call webdatatools/vscode-marketplace-extensions --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,webdatatools/vscode-marketplace-extensions"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
