Zapier App Scraper

Scrapes detailed application data from Zapier's official app directory via its internal API. It's designed for automation and data collection, fetching structured JSON instead of parsing HTML.

Overview

This actor programmatically accesses the same API that powers Zapier's public app directory. You specify a category and sorting method, and it returns clean, paginated JSON data for each app. It's more reliable than web scraping and avoids HTML parsing complexities.

Key Features

• API-Based Scraping: Directly queries Zapier's internal API for efficiency and reliability.
• Filtered Data Extraction: Scrape apps by category (e.g., "AI Tools," "Marketing") and sort by criteria like popularity or launch date.
• Configurable Limits: Set a maximum number of apps to retrieve or scrape all available.
• Structured Output: Returns consistent JSON objects for each app, ready for datasets or direct use.

How to Use

Configure the actor with your desired parameters and run it. It will fetch data page by page until it meets your item limit or exhausts the available apps in the chosen category. Results are stored in the actor's default dataset.

Input

Configure the run using these fields:

• Category: (String) Select from a dropdown (e.g., "All Apps," "AI Tools"). Default is "All Apps".
• Sort / Filter By: (String) Choose the list order/filter. Options: "Most Popular", "Recently Launched", "Beta Apps", "Premium Apps". Default is "Most Popular".
• Maximum items: (Integer) The total number of apps to scrape. Leave empty to get all apps in the category.

Output

The dataset contains an array of JSON objects. Each object represents one Zapier app.
