## Pricing

from $0.07 / 1,000 result extracteds

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

Research Shopify apps without copying each listing by hand. Shopify App Store Scraper collects public descriptions, pricing summaries, ratings, review counts and developer details in one dataset.

Start with known apps or explore a category. Export the results to a spreadsheet, use the API or explore them with an AI assistant. This Actor returns listing information, not individual review text.

### Quick start

Start with one public Klaviyo listing:

```json
{
  "handles": ["klaviyo-email-marketing"],
  "maxItems": 1,
  "includeRelatedApps": false
}
```

1. Open the Actor in Apify Console and enter this input.
2. Start the run and wait for it to finish.
3. Open the dataset and export the listing as CSV, JSON or Excel.

Prefer a video guide? This short Apify walkthrough shows you how to set up and run an Actor. It uses a different Actor, but the setup steps are the same.

### Ready-to-run examples

Choose an example to start with a small, preconfigured input.

- [App ratings and review counts](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper/examples/shopify-app-store-reviews-and-ratings-monitor) — Look up Judge.me, Klaviyo and Loox without following related apps.
- [Related-app discovery](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper/examples/shopify-app-store-related-app-discovery) — Start from Judge.me and follow related listings, capped at 15 apps.
- [Page-builder comparison](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper/examples/shopify-app-store-page-builder-apps) — Look up PageFly and GemPages, capped at two listings.

### What you get

- **Listing snapshots:** names, descriptions, public URLs and app pricing summaries.
- **Rating signals:** available listing ratings and review counts, rather than individual reviews.
- **Developer context:** public developer names and website links when available.
- **App discovery:** category-page discovery and optional related-app exploration.
- **Structured exports:** listing attributes and collection timestamps for your own comparisons.

### Who is it for?

- **App researchers:** shortlist apps using pricing summaries and rating signals.
- **App developers:** compare competing listings and their public positioning.
- **Ecommerce analysts:** collect repeatable snapshots for spreadsheets and reporting.

### Input settings

Choose at least one source. Sources can be combined, and repeated handles are processed once per run. Console prefills are examples, not inputs automatically supplied to API calls.

| Setting | API key | Meaning |
| --- | --- | --- |
| App URLs | `startUrls` | Public Shopify App Store listing URLs. |
| App handles | `handles` | App identifiers such as `klaviyo-email-marketing`. |
| Category URLs | `categoryUrls` | Public Shopify App Store category pages for discovery. |
| Maximum listings | `maxItems` | Default `20`, range `1`–`10000`. Caps saved listings across all sources and related apps. |
| Include related apps | `includeRelatedApps` | Default `true`. Follow related listing references until the item limit is reached. |

#### Compare a known set of apps

```json
{
  "handles": ["pagefly", "gempages"],
  "maxItems": 2,
  "includeRelatedApps": false
}
```

For a fixed list, disable related-app exploration and allow enough items for your chosen apps. The `relatedApps` output may still contain references when following them is disabled.

#### Explore related apps

```json
{
  "handles": ["judgeme"],
  "maxItems": 5,
  "includeRelatedApps": true
}
```

Related results depend on references available on public listings.

#### Discover apps from a category

Paste a current category URL into `categoryUrls`. Older category URLs may redirect to broader categories. Set `includeRelatedApps` to `false` to avoid expanding beyond discovered category listings. Fewer apps than requested may be available.

### Output data

Each row describes one public app listing. Optional fields can be missing or empty. A missing value does not mean zero or free.

| Fields | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `name`, `handle`, `url` | App identity and public listing URL. |
| `description`, `pricingSummary` | Listing text and app pricing summary. |
| `developerName`, `developerWebsite`, `iconUrl` | Public developer and app image information when available. |
| `ratingValue`, `ratingCount` | Listing rating and rating/review count. |
| `categories`, `features`, `languages`, `worksWith` | Public listing attributes. |
| `relatedApps`, `scrapedAt` | Related app references and collection timestamp. |

Selected fields from a saved Klaviyo listing collected on **9 October 2026**. Ratings, review counts and app pricing can change:

```json
{
  "name": "Klaviyo: Email Marketing & SMS",
  "handle": "klaviyo-email-marketing",
  "url": "https://apps.shopify.com/klaviyo-email-marketing",
  "pricingSummary": "Free to install",
  "ratingValue": 4.7,
  "ratingCount": 3341,
  "developerName": "Klaviyo",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-10-09T00:24:07.145Z"
}
```

#### Check partial results

Successful listings remain available if another app cannot be collected. In the run's default key-value store, open `RUN_SUMMARY` when present. `saved` counts saved listings, `outcomes` lists recorded app errors, and `partial` indicates whether those errors occurred. `finishedAt` gives the summary timestamp.

A summary without recorded errors does not prove complete category coverage. Discovery can stop at the item or time limit. If the summary is missing, check the run log. If no listings can be extracted, the current implementation fails the run.

#### Download your results

Open your run's dataset, choose **Export** and select JSON, CSV or Excel. JSON keeps nested fields together. CSV and Excel are useful when you want to review the records in a spreadsheet.

See [Apify's download and export guide](https://docs.apify.com/storage/dataset#apify-console) for the available formats and field options.

### Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. The `start` event is a one-time run charge after initial input and category discovery produce an app queue. Repeat lookups incur their own start charge.

The `result` event is charged for each extracted app listing. Failed app lookups do not produce paid error rows. A result charge can precede a failed dataset write, so inspect the run if storage fails.

See the [live Pricing tab](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper/pricing) for current rates and discounts.

The app prices returned in `pricingSummary` describe the Shopify app itself. They are separate from the cost of using this scraper.

### Tips for best results

- **Start with one app.** Use a small `maxItems` while checking the fields you need.
- **Keep comparisons consistent.** Disable related-app exploration for a fixed set of listings.
- **Check the listing details.** A pricing summary is not a complete comparison of plans or features.
- **Use current category links.** Redirects can broaden discovery beyond the original category.
- **Review partial results.** Check the summary and run log before treating an absent app as removed.

### Limits and caveats

- Only public listing information is collected. Login-only and private app data are not supported.
- Individual review text is not included. Use the separate Shopify App Reviews Scraper for that job.
- `maxItems` is a ceiling, not a guaranteed result count. Public page changes, access challenges and the run's time limit can reduce coverage.
- Snapshot comparison and alerts belong in your own workflow. They are not built into this Actor.
- This scraper is not Shopify's official API and is not affiliated with Shopify.

### Automation and integrations

#### Save your settings for next time

Once you have an input that works for you, [save it as an Apify task](https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/tasks). This keeps your settings together so you can use them again without filling in the form from scratch.

#### Run on a schedule

Need fresh results regularly? You can [schedule the Actor or a saved task](https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/schedules) to run at a time that suits you.

Each scheduled run collects the data again. If you want to compare results or highlight changes, add that step in your own workflow.

#### Send results to your other tools

Use **n8n, Make or Zapier** to connect this scraper to the rest of your workflow. For example, you could pass its results to an AI assistant or add records to a spreadsheet. Follow the [Apify integration guides](https://docs.apify.com/integrations) for your chosen tool.

For a custom connection, an [Apify webhook](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/webhooks) can notify your app when a run finishes or fails. Your app can then fetch the results or handle the failure.

#### Build a comparison spreadsheet

Export the dataset and keep `handle`, `name`, `url`, `pricingSummary`, `ratingValue` and `ratingCount` together. Save each snapshot with its collection date and match records by `handle`. Your spreadsheet or application can compare snapshots and send alerts. Check the summary before treating a missing listing as a removal.

### API usage

Want to collect this data from your own app or automation? The examples below send input to the scraper and show how to collect its results.

The Node.js and Python examples wait for the run to finish before reading its results. The cURL example starts the run and returns its details. Wait for that run to finish, then use its `defaultDatasetId` to fetch the results.

For setup instructions, see Apify's [JavaScript client guide](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js), [Python client guide](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python) and [Actor runs API reference](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2/acts-runs-post).

#### cURL

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/fetch_cat~shopify-app-store-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"handles":["klaviyo-email-marketing"],"maxItems":1,"includeRelatedApps":false}'
```

After the returned run succeeds, retrieve its dataset:

```bash
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/$DATASET_ID/items?format=json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN"
```

#### Node.js

Install `apify-client` and set `APIFY_TOKEN` in your environment.

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper').call({
  handles: ['klaviyo-email-marketing'],
  maxItems: 1,
  includeRelatedApps: false,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);
```

For larger datasets, follow the client's pagination instructions.

#### Python

Install `apify-client` and set `APIFY_TOKEN` in your environment.

```python
import os
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(os.environ["APIFY_TOKEN"])
run = client.actor("fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper").call(run_input={
    "handles": ["klaviyo-email-marketing"],
    "maxItems": 1,
    "includeRelatedApps": False,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

### MCP and AI agents

You can ask your AI assistant to collect data with **Shopify App Store Scraper** and help you work with the results. The scraper returns the data, and your assistant can then summarize it, compare records or prepare notes.

Connect your assistant through the [Apify MCP server](https://mcp.apify.com/). MCP gives your assistant a way to find this scraper, run it and read the results. Follow the [official setup and sign-in guide](https://docs.apify.com/mcp) for your app.

#### Easier setup with an Apify plugin

If you use a supported coding assistant, the [official Apify plugin](https://docs.apify.com/agents/plugins) can set up the connection for you. It connects your assistant to Apify and includes instructions for common tasks. Follow the guide for your particular app.

#### Use Apify AI in Console

Prefer to keep everything in Apify? Open [Apify AI in Console](https://docs.apify.com/account/apify-ai) and ask it to find Fetch Cat's **Shopify App Store Scraper**. You can describe the data you want and ask questions about the results.

Apify AI is currently in beta. It asks for confirmation before starting an Actor, and normal run charges apply.

#### Choose your assistant

- **Claude and Claude Code (Anthropic):** [Apify setup guide](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/claude).
- **ChatGPT and Codex (OpenAI):** [Apify setup guides](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/openai).
- **Grok Bot (xAI):** [Apify plugin guide](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/grok-bot).
- **Gemini CLI (Google):** [MCP server setup guide](https://geminicli.com/docs/tools/mcp-server/). Use the server URL below with the HTTP configuration supported by Gemini CLI.

#### Connect just this scraper

To keep your setup focused on this scraper, add this server configuration to a compatible MCP client:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com?tools=fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper"
    }
  }
}
```

Sign in to Apify when your client asks. If your client uses a Bearer token instead, follow its setup guide and keep the token in its secure configuration. Configuration formats vary by app, so use the linked guide if your client needs a different format.

#### Use Apify's general server

Already connected to the general Apify MCP server at `https://mcp.apify.com`? You can use it to find this scraper without adding another server. Ask your assistant to use **Shopify App Store Scraper** by Fetch Cat, or give it the identifier `fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper`.

Your assistant can check the available settings and retrieve the results from the returned run. If the run is still working, it should follow that run rather than start it again. Both connection options use Apify's hosted service.

#### Example requests

- Look up the Klaviyo app listing and show me its pricing summary, rating and review count.
- Collect the PageFly and GemPages listings without exploring related apps, then compare their public descriptions and ratings.
- Starting with Judge.me, collect up to five app listings including related apps and prepare a table of their names, developers and listing links.

Normal Apify charges apply. Check the [live Pricing tab](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/shopify-app-store-scraper/pricing) before asking your assistant to run a larger batch.

### Pay with x402

If your AI agent has a funded wallet, it can pay for Apify usage through [x402](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/x402). This experimental option lets an agent use Apify without a conventional account.

[Apify AGI](https://agi.apify.com/) provides a prepaid API token with a spending cap after payment. Your agent can use that token to run this scraper through the Apify API or an authenticated MCP connection.

Some MCP setups also support paying for each request directly. That is a different payment option, so check the official guide for its availability.

Follow the official guide for wallet setup, supported payment options and current terms. Apify handles the payments. Keep wallet keys and payment tokens in your agent's secure configuration.

#### Other ways for agents to pay

Apify also supports **MPP** for prepaid access through AGI and **Skyfire** for eligible Actors. If your agent already uses one of these, see the [agentic payment guide](https://docs.apify.com/agents/payments) to choose the right setup.

### FAQ

#### Does this collect individual Shopify app reviews?

No. It returns listing ratings and review counts. Use the [Shopify App Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/fetch_cat/shopify-app-reviews-scraper) for individual review text.

#### Can I use this as a Shopify App Store API alternative?

You can retrieve public listing snapshots through the Apify API. It is not an official Shopify API, and source changes can affect availability.

#### How do I exclude related apps?

Set `includeRelatedApps` to `false`. Supply exact handles or listing URLs and allow enough `maxItems` for your list.

#### Why did I get fewer listings than requested?

Your input may expose fewer apps, pages may be unavailable or discovery may stop at its limits. Check `RUN_SUMMARY` and the run log. If none can be extracted, the current run fails.

#### How do I export Shopify App Store data?

Open the dataset and export CSV, JSON or Excel, or retrieve the records through the API. No Shopify login or cookies are needed for public listings.
