Apify Integration

Overview

AppMarketScraper provides an official Apify actor for scraping the Shopify App Store. This actor integrates directly with our API, giving you two billing options:

Use your own API key: Pay your plan's rates (as low as $0.0019 per request)
Pay through Apify: Convenient one-click scraping without API setup

Getting Started

The official AppMarketScraper actor is available at: apify/appmarketscraper

Option 1: Using Your Own API Key (Recommended)

Get your API key from appmarketscraper.com
Open the actor on Apify: apify.com/appmarketscraper/shopify-appstore-apps-and-reviews-scraper
Run the actor with your API key:

{
  "type": "app",
  "appHandles": ["tiktok", "klaviyo"],
  "apiKey": "your_api_key_here"
}

Option 2: Pay Through Apify

Simply run the actor without providing an API key. Usage will be billed through your Apify account at standard rates.
