Is it legal to scrape the Apify Store?

Apify Store Scraper only accesses publicly available data from the Apify Store marketplace — the same data you can see by visiting apify.com/store in any browser.

This scraper does not extract any private user data, passwords, email addresses, or any information not explicitly displayed on the public Store pages. We therefore believe that using this scraper for ethical research, market analysis, or tool discovery purposes is safe.

However, you are responsible for how you use the extracted data. Personal data (such as developer names and profile pictures that are publicly listed) is protected under GDPR in the European Union and other regulations worldwide. Use data responsibly and in compliance with applicable laws. If in doubt, consult your legal team.

Frequently asked questions

Why not just call the Apify Store API directly?

You can — api.apify.com/v2/store is public. But to use it you need to write code, handle pagination, build your own filters, manage authentication for rate limits, and manually export results to a spreadsheet. This actor does all of that for you in a single click, with 10 built-in filters, instant CSV/JSON/Excel export, scheduling, and integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier, and Make. For non-coders, it's the only option. For developers, it saves hours.

Does Apify Store Scraper work without an Apify account?

No — you need a free Apify account to run actors on the platform. Creating one takes less than a minute.

How many actors are available on the Apify Store?

Thousands of actors and growing continuously. The actor stops automatically when there are no more results, so set maxItems to any large value to cover the full Store.

How do I validate a niche before building my own actor?

Run this actor with your niche keyword as the search query (e.g., "instagram") and sortBy set to mostPopular. You'll instantly see how many actors already exist, who the dominant players are, what pricing models they use, and how many users the top actors have. This tells you whether the niche is saturated, underserved, or nonexistent — in under 60 seconds.

Can I filter actors by multiple categories at once?

Yes. Set the categories input to an array with multiple values, for example ["AI", "SOCIAL_MEDIA", "ECOMMERCE"]. Results will include actors that match any of the selected categories.

Can I get all actors from a specific developer?

Yes — use the username input field with the developer's Apify username. For example, setting username to "apify" returns all actors published by Apify's official team.

What is the difference between APIFY and COMMUNITY in the managedBy filter?

• APIFY — actors built and maintained by the Apify team
• COMMUNITY — actors built by independent developers (the vast majority of the Store)

What pricing models exist in the Apify Store?

Based on live Store data, three models are active:

• FREE — no cost beyond standard platform usage
• PAY_PER_EVENT — pay per result extracted (most common)
• FLAT_PRICE_PER_MONTH — fixed monthly subscription

How do I get only free actors?

Set pricingModel to ["FREE"]. This returns all actors that have no cost beyond standard Apify platform usage.

Can I scrape Apify Store data via API?

Yes. Once you have an Apify account, you can trigger this Actor and retrieve results via the Apify API. The API tab on this page shows ready-to-use code examples in Node.js, Python, and cURL.

How often is the Apify Store data updated?

The data reflects the live state of the Apify Store at the time of each run. Schedule the Actor to run daily or weekly to track changes over time — new actors, rating changes, and user count shifts.

Can I monitor competitor actors over time?

Yes. Schedule this actor to run weekly with a fixed query (e.g., your niche keyword + sortBy: mostPopular). Each run produces a new dataset snapshot. Compare datasets across runs to detect new entrants, rating changes, and user count growth in your category.
