Scrape any Chrome Web Store extension by URL, ID, category, search query, or top-charts category. Pulls every public field including ratings, install count, version, manifest details, supported locales, screenshots, and related extensions. Pro filters narrow the result set to exactly what you need.

What it scrapes

For each Chrome Web Store extension the actor returns a clean record with:

• extension_id, name, version, package_size, min_chrome_version
• rating (0–5, four decimals), rating_count, install_count
• category, category_group
• short_description, long_description
• developer, developer_email, verified_developer (bool — D-U-N-S-verified business)
• featured (bool — Chrome Web Store "Featured" badge)
• website_url — developer's homepage (when listed)
• manifest_version, permissions[], host_permissions[]
• supported_languages[] (display names), supported_locales[] (codes)
• icon_url, cover_url, screenshots[] (carousel image URLs)
• bug_tracker_url, privacy_policy_url
• last_updated_at (ISO 8601 UTC)
• related_extensions[] (id + name + icon, full list)
• relatedExtensionIds[] (flat ID list, capped at 10)

No null fields — only what the Chrome Web Store actually exposes for that extension.

• Install-leader research — minInstalls=1000000 to surface the top-tier extensions

FAQ

Does it require a login or cookie? No. The Chrome Web Store is public and the actor uses HTTP-only requests.

Is a proxy needed? No. The actor runs from datacenter IPs without issue.

What happens when an extension ID isn't found? The actor skips it and finishes cleanly. If no extensions are found at all, the run status message explains what happened.

What if all my Pro filters reject every result? The run finishes without fake rows and sets a status message so you can loosen the filters.

Can I scrape extensions by exact text in their description? Use mode: "search" with the text as the query — Chrome's own search will rank by relevance.

What does topChartsCategory expect? Use the exact schema slug, not a human label. For example: productivity/tools, productivity/communication, or make_chrome_yours/themes.
