## 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

## JetBrains Marketplace Plugin Scraper

Fetch plugin metadata from [JetBrains Marketplace](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/) by numeric plugin ID — name, vendor, downloads, rating, description, preview image, and IDE family. Useful for competitive research on the IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, and Rider plugin ecosystem.

***

### How to use

Pass a list of numeric plugin IDs via the `plugin_id` input field. The ID is the leading integer in a plugin URL — for example, `https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/164-ideavim` → `"164"`.

#### Input shape

```json
{
  "plugin_id": ["164", "6610", "7973"]
}
```

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|-------|------|----------|-------------|
| `plugin_id` | `string[]` | No (defaults to `["164","6610","7973"]`) | Numeric JetBrains Marketplace plugin IDs |

If `plugin_id` is omitted the actor runs with the three prefill IDs above as a smoke test.

***

### Example output row

```json
{
  "plugin_id": "164",
  "name": "IdeaVim",
  "xml_id": "IdeaVIM",
  "link": "/plugin/164-ideavim",
  "description": "Vim emulation plugin for IDEs based on the IntelliJ Platform...",
  "vendor_name": "JetBrains",
  "rating": 4.5,
  "downloads": 12500000,
  "preview": "https://plugins.jetbrains.com/files/.../preview.png",
  "family": "intellij"
}
```

Missing or removed plugins (404) are silently skipped — only resolved plugins appear in the dataset.

***

### Pricing

**$0.001 per dataset item** (`dataset-item` event).

Running the actor against 1 000 plugin IDs costs **$1.00**. Plugins that return 404 are not counted or charged.

***

### Buyer

- Plugin vendors tracking **competitor download counts and ratings** over time.
- Dev-tool companies doing **ecosystem landscape analysis** across IntelliJ-family IDEs.
- Researchers building **plugin trend dashboards** (PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, etc.).
- Product teams identifying **feature gaps** by scraping category leaders.
- Agencies delivering **Marketplace competitive audits** to JetBrains ISV clients.

***

### Source

**Endpoint:** `GET https://plugins.jetbrains.com/api/plugins/{plugin_id}`

Public, unauthenticated JetBrains Marketplace REST API. No API key required. Returns JSON with plugin metadata including nested `vendor` object, top-level `downloads` and `rating` numerics, and a `family` discriminator (`intellij`, `teamcity`, `hub`, etc.).

Rate limits are unspecified but loose; the actor paces at ~3 requests/second to stay polite.

# Actor input Schema

## `plugin_id` (type: `array`):

Numeric JetBrains Marketplace plugin IDs (the leading number in plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/<id>-<slug> URLs)

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "plugin_id": [
    "164",
    "6610",
    "7973"
  ]
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

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

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "plugin_id": [
        "164",
        "6610",
        "7973"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("v0iddo/jetbrains-marketplace-plugins").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

        "7973",
    ] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("v0iddo/jetbrains-marketplace-plugins").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
