## Pricing

from $6.80 / 1,000 results

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`).

### What it does

The actor searches the Chrome Web Store by keyword, or browses a category collection when no keyword is given, opens each matching extension listing, and writes one normalized record per extension to the run's dataset. Each record carries the extension name and ID, store URL, developer name with email, legal name, postal address and phone, website, supported languages, category, rating and rating count, user count, version, last-updated date, full and short descriptions, install size, icon URL, and support and privacy policy URLs. Missing source values are returned as `null`.

Optional AI add-ons (paid Apify plans only) add a plain-English summary of what the extension does, a normalized functional category with subcategory, and a set of topical keyword tags.

### Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 2 password-manager extensions with AI summary, categorization and tags enabled.

```json
{
  "searchQuery": "password manager",
  "maxExtensions": 2,
  "withAiSummary": true,
  "withAiCategorize": true,
  "withAiTags": true
}
```

Provide a `searchQuery` to search by keyword, or leave it empty and set `category` to browse a collection. Every input is optional; defaults browse the `productivity` category.

### Input reference

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `maxExtensions` | integer | no | `10` | Maximum number of extensions to collect. |
| `searchQuery` | string | no | `productivity` | Find extensions matching this keyword, for example `vpn`, `screenshot`, `notion`. Leave empty to browse a category instead. |
| `category` | string | no | `productivity` | Used when no keyword is given. Browse a store collection by slug, for example `productivity`, `communication`, `shopping`, `entertainment`. |
| `withAiSummary` | boolean | no | `false` | Paid add-on. Generate a plain-English summary from the store description. Requires a paid plan. Charged only on usable AI output. |
| `withAiCategorize` | boolean | no | `false` | Paid add-on. Classify the extension into a normalized functional category. Requires a paid plan. Charged only on usable AI output. |
| `withAiTags` | boolean | no | `false` | Paid add-on. Extract topical keyword tags from the description. Requires a paid plan. Charged only on usable AI output. |

}
```

### Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace `<TOKEN>` with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~chrome-web-store-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchQuery":"vpn","maxExtensions":50}'
```

Start a run asynchronously:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~chrome-web-store-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"category":"productivity","maxExtensions":100}'
```

Apify CLI:

```bash
apify call scrapers_lat/chrome-web-store-scraper \
  --input '{"searchQuery":"notion","maxExtensions":25}'
```

### Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing `format`:

```bash
## JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

## CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

## Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"
```

`<DATASET_ID>` is returned as `defaultDatasetId` in the run object. Use `offset` and `limit` to page through large result sets. `clean=true` drops empty and internal fields.

### Billing and limits

- **Pay per result.** You are charged per extension returned (`result` event). See the [pricing tab](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/chrome-web-store-scraper/pricing) for the current per-result price.
- **Paid AI add-ons.** `withAiSummary`, `withAiCategorize` and `withAiTags` are optional, require a paid Apify plan, and are billed per record only when they return usable output.
- **No charge on failure.** If a run errors it does not charge for empty output. Empty runs cost nothing.
- **Spend cap respected.** Set `maxTotalChargeUsd` on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
- **Free Apify plans** are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher `maxExtensions`.

### FAQ and troubleshooting

**A run returned 0 records. Why?**
No extension matched that keyword or category. Try a broader keyword or a valid category slug. Zero-result runs are not charged.

**How do I browse a whole category?**
Leave `searchQuery` empty and set `category` to a store collection slug such as `productivity` or `communication`.

**Why is `developerEmail` or `developerAddress` null?**
Not every developer publishes contact details in the store. Missing source values are returned as `null`.

**Why are the AI fields absent?**
The matching add-on was off, you are on a free account, or the AI produced no usable output. AI fields are never invented.

**Can I get the full description text?**
Yes. The dataset `description` field holds the full store description; only this README trims it for display.

**Is this an official Google tool?**
No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with Google or the Chrome Web Store. It reads only data that is publicly available on store listings. Use it in accordance with the store terms.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
