About Chrome Extension Review Scraper

Need to know what users really think about a Chrome extension? Scraping reviews from the Web Store manually is a pain. That's why I built this scraper. You just feed it the URLs of the extension review pages, and it pulls everything into clean, structured JSON for you. It grabs all the essentials: the review ID, who wrote it, their star rating, the date, and the full text of their comment. It even captures the helpfulness counts and any replies from the developer, which is gold for understanding support issues. I use this data for sentiment analysis all the time to track how a new feature is being received or to spot common complaints. It saves hours of manual copying and pasting. The setup is straightforward—just configure your proxy settings to avoid blocks and let it run. The output is ready for analysis in any tool, from a simple spreadsheet to more advanced AI models. If you're developing, marketing, or researching extensions, having this direct pipeline to user feedback is a game-changer.
