## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Salesforce AppExchange Scraper — App Listing & ISV Partner Data Extractor

Scrape app listings from [Salesforce AppExchange](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/). This Salesforce AppExchange data extractor and ISV partner directory tool pulls developer contact info (email, phone, HQ country), ratings, categories, supported products, pricing model, security review status, and industry data from all ~6,000 listings — or just the ones you point it at. Use it as a lead generation source or a programmatic AppExchange API alternative.

### Salesforce AppExchange Scraper Features

- Extract developer details: company name, website, email, HQ location, employee count, founding year
- Collect review statistics and average ratings across the entire marketplace in a single run
- Grab listing metadata — categories, supported Salesforce products, required products, target personas, system requirements
- Crawl the full sitemap automatically, or supply specific listing URLs when you already know what you want
- Set a cap with `maxItems` or set it to `0` and walk away while it scrapes everything

### Who Uses This AppExchange Lead Generation and Partner Data

- **Sales teams** — build lead lists of Salesforce ecosystem companies, filtered by industry and employee count
- **Product managers** — map the competitive landscape for a Salesforce product category without manually clicking through thousands of listings
- **Market researchers** — track rating trends, review velocity, and new entrants across the AppExchange over time
- **Developers** — find which Salesforce products are most commonly required or supported, informing integration priorities
- **Consultants** — identify partners and vendors by location, industry focus, or founding year

### How Salesforce AppExchange Scraper Works

1. **Discovers listings.** Fetches the AppExchange sitemap and extracts every listing URL. If you provide specific URLs instead, it skips the sitemap entirely and goes straight to those.
2. **Extracts structured data.** Each listing page embeds a `window.stores` JSON object with the full listing payload — developer info, review stats, categories, the lot. The scraper parses that directly rather than scraping DOM elements, which means the data is clean and complete.
3. **Outputs to dataset.** Every record lands in the Apify dataset with consistent field names, ready for export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or downstream integrations.

### Input

```json
{
  "appsUrls": [],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}
```

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `appsUrls` | array | `[]` | URLs of specific AppExchange listings to crawl. Leave empty to crawl all apps from the sitemap. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `10` | Maximum number of apps to scrape. Set to `0` to scrape all ~6,000 listings. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify US proxy | Proxy settings for the crawler. Apify proxy with US geolocation is recommended. |

#### Scrape specific listings

```json
{
  "appsUrls": [
    { "url": "https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N4V00000HZZEaUAP" },

  ],
  "maxItems": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```

```json
{
  "maxItems": 0,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyCountry": "US"
  }
}

### FAQ

**How many listings can Salesforce AppExchange Scraper handle?**
Salesforce AppExchange Scraper processes the entire marketplace — roughly 6,000 listings at last count. Set `maxItems` to `0` and it will work through every one. A full run takes about an hour depending on proxy speed.

**Does it need proxies?**
Salesforce AppExchange Scraper works best with Apify proxy set to a US geolocation. The site does not aggressively block scrapers, but proxies keep things reliable at scale.

**Can I scrape just a handful of specific apps?**
Yes. Pass their URLs in the `appsUrls` field and the scraper skips the sitemap entirely. Useful when you already know which listings you care about.

**What happens if a listing page fails to load?**
The scraper logs a warning and moves on. Failed pages do not stop the run or corrupt the dataset. You can check the run log afterward to see which URLs, if any, were skipped.

**How fresh is the developer contact info?**
Salesforce AppExchange Scraper reads whatever is on the listing page at crawl time. If a developer has updated their email or location since your last run, the new data shows up on the next one.

**Can I find apps that passed Salesforce security review or hold FedRAMP certification?**
Yes. Each record carries the security review approval date and version, plus boolean flags for FedRAMP certification, Salesforce Shield support, and managed-package status. Filter the dataset on those fields to build a list of compliance-ready or public-sector ISV partners.

### Why Use Salesforce AppExchange Scraper?

- **Structured data from a messy source** — The scraper pulls from the embedded JSON payload, not fragile DOM selectors, so the output is consistent and complete across all listings.
- **Two modes, no configuration headaches** — Point it at specific URLs or let it discover every listing from the sitemap. Either way, the output schema stays the same, which means your downstream pipeline does not care which mode you used.
- **Developer intel that is hard to get manually** — Employee count, founding year, HQ location, contact email — all sitting in the listing data but buried behind clicks. The scraper flattens it into one row per app, ready for your CRM or spreadsheet.

Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler.

## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`):

Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements.

## `sp_contact` (type: `string`):

Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you.

## `resumeCursor` (type: `string`):

Leave empty for a fresh crawl. To CONTINUE a previous run where it stopped — without paying again for records you already received — paste the `resumeCursor` value from that run's Output (the run's OUTPUT key). Resume promptly: the previous run's data expires with your account's retention window (free tier: your ~10 most recent runs).

## `appsUrls` (type: `array`):

URLs of specific apps to crawl. Leave empty to crawl all apps from sitemap.

## `keyword` (type: `string`):

Search AppExchange's own keyword search (e.g. 'CRM analytics') and crawl only the matching listings — seeded server-side from AppExchange's search API, not a full-store fetch filtered locally. Ignored if Apps URL(s) is set. Leave empty to crawl all apps from sitemap.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of apps to scrape. Set to 0 to scrape all.

## `hqCountries` (type: `array`):

Filter by publisher HQ country (ISO-2 codes, e.g. \['US', 'GB', 'DE']). Leave empty to include all countries. Listings whose publisher has no country set are excluded when this filter is active.

## `productsSupported` (type: `array`):

Filter by Salesforce products supported (any-match). Examples: 'Sales Cloud', 'Service Cloud', 'Marketing Cloud'. Note: AppExchange ships many listings with empty productsSupported arrays — when this filter is active, those listings are excluded.

## `appTypes` (type: `array`):

Filter by app type. Common values: 'Package/Platform/Bolt' (bolt template), 'Package/Platform/Data' (data product), 'Package/Platform/App' (managed app). Leave empty to include all types.
