Export public Shopify App Store reviews for competitor intelligence, product research, support benchmarking, sentiment workflows and recurring market monitoring.

The Actor parses Shopify's server-rendered public review pages directly. It does not require a Shopify login, browser session, API key or residential proxy.

Output

Each review can include:

• Stable Shopify review ID and direct review URL.
• Star rating and public review date.
• Full public merchant review text.
• Merchant/store name, country and visible usage duration.
• Developer reply text and reply date.
• App name, aggregate rating and review-count label.
• Page number and scrape timestamp.
• isNew when scheduled monitoring is enabled.

Filters

Filter before billing by star rating, review-text keyword and merchant country. Use a small page/review limit for quick competitive snapshots or increase the caps for deeper exports.

Monitoring gap solved

A normal review scraper makes you repeatedly export the same history. Set a stable monitorKey and schedule this Actor. It remembers seen review IDs and can emit only unseen reviews. With stopWhenSeen=true, it stops paging when a complete page contains no new review IDs, reducing repeated network work and cost.

Example

{
  "apps":["klaviyo-email-marketing","judgeme"],
  "ratings":[1,2],
  "keywords":["support"],
  "maxReviewsPerApp":250,
  "monitorKey":"shopify-competitors",
  "onlyNew":true
}

Reliability

The parser uses Shopify's current semantic review attributes such as stable review-<id> containers, rating aria-label values, data-merchant-review, data-truncate-review, and data-merchant-review-reply. Requests have bounded retries and timeouts; duplicate IDs are removed; failures are isolated per app/page.

Shopify can change public markup in the future, so cloud smoke tests are part of this Actor's deployment gate.

Only public review information is collected. Use the data responsibly and comply with Shopify's terms and applicable privacy law.

Extended capabilities

• Filter Shopify App Store reviews by stars, text, merchant country, review date, usage duration, and developer reply.
• Monitor unseen reviews and stop early when scheduled runs reach already-seen pages.
• Enrich app summaries with public app metadata and per-star counts when the page exposes them.
