Shopify App Store Scraper

This actor automates data extraction from the Shopify App Store based on search keywords. It scrapes app listings from search result pages, collecting structured metadata for market research, competitive analysis, or building app directories.

Overview

The actor searches the Shopify App Store for your specified keywords and returns a dataset containing key details from each app listing it finds. It's designed for scalability and runs on the Apify platform.

Key Features

• Keyword-based scraping: Search for apps using one or multiple queries.
• Comprehensive metadata extraction: Captures:
  • App name and unique handle
  • Star rating and number of reviews
  • Pricing information (e.g., "Free plan available")
  • App URL and icon URL
  • Presence of the "Built for Shopify" badge
• Configurable limits: Control the number of results with itemLimit.
• Proxy support: Built-in integration with Apify Proxy for reliable, large-scale runs.

How to Use

Configure the actor using a JSON input. The main parameters are queries (your search keywords) and itemLimit (the maximum number of apps to scrape per query). Using Apify Proxy is recommended.
