Ecwid App Market Apps, Ratings & Reviews Scraper

Scrape the Ecwid App Market — the add-on marketplace for Ecwid (Lightspeed E-Series) stores. Collect every listed app with its developer, categories, pricing, free-trial flag, logo, rating and review count, then optionally open detail pages for feature bullets, screenshots and support contacts, or pull paginated customer reviews. No login, cookies, or proxy setup.

What this actor does

Five modes: browse the whole market, filter by category or collection, search by keyword, fetch exact apps, or collect reviews.
Complete catalog: reads the live listing in one request — currently 405 apps — and deduplicates by app namespace.
Exact categories: all 14 marketplace categories plus the Featured, New, and Free collections.
Decision signals: rating, review count, real logo URL, pricing type, and a free-trial flag on every app that has them.
Optional depth: developer website, support URL and email, feature bullets, screenshots, attached reviews, and standalone review records.
Filters and sorting: pricing type, free-only, minimum rating, minimum review count, and sorting by name, rating or review count.
Empty fields are omitted: a field is only included when the marketplace actually provides it.

Output per app

appId — unique app namespace (for example the-printful)
name — app title
tagline — short listing description
description — full listing description (HTML preserved)
developer — developer or company name, when published
categories[] — marketplace category names
pricingType — free, freemium, or paid
pricing — the marketplace's own pricing text, when it is more than just “Free”
hasFreeTrial — true when the pricing text advertises a trial
rating — average rating from 0 to 5; omitted when the app has no rating
reviewCount — number of published reviews; 0 is a real value
url — app page on the Ecwid marketplace
iconUrl — the app's real logo URL
headerImageUrl — the app's header/banner image URL
developerWebsite — developer site from the detail page (when includeDetails is on)
supportUrl — support link from the detail page (when includeDetails is on)
supportEmail — support email from the detail page (when includeDetails is on)
features[] — feature bullets from the detail page (when includeDetails is on)
screenshots[] — gallery image URLs, excluding the header image (when includeDetails is on)
reviews[] — attached reviews (when includeReviews is on), each with reviewId, rating, text, author, date
recordType — always app
scrapedAt — ISO 8601 UTC capture timestamp

Output per review

Returned by mode: "reviews", or as extra records when emitReviewRecords is on:

reviewId — marketplace review ID
appId, appName — the reviewed app
rating — 1 to 5 stars
text — review body as published
author — display name shown by the marketplace
date — review timestamp from the source
url — the app page
recordType — always review
scrapedAt — ISO 8601 UTC capture timestamp

}

Use cases

Competitive research — compare the apps available to Ecwid merchants across categories, pricing models and ratings.
App directory sites — mirror marketplace listings with logos, ratings, review counts and screenshots.
Pricing analysis — separate genuinely free apps from freemium and externally billed ones.
Partner and developer scouting — find active developers and the support channels they publish.
Voice-of-customer research — export paginated reviews for sentiment analysis and product-gap studies.
Market monitoring — re-run on a schedule to catch new listings and changing ratings.

FAQ

Do I need an Ecwid account? No. The marketplace pages and review endpoints used here are public.

How many apps are on the market? The live total changes as developers add and remove listings. A full browse run currently returns about 405 apps; the actor deduplicates by namespace and reports the real total.

What is the difference between free, freemium and paid? free means the listing is marked completely free. freemium covers a free tier, a free trial, free tokens, or a “Free to $X” plan. Everything else is paid, including externally billed apps and in-app charges. The raw marketplace pricing text is kept in pricing when it adds detail.

Why does a “Free to $X” app say freemium? Because it has a free entry point but paid tiers above it. The hasFreeTrial flag tells you whether the pricing text also advertises a trial.

Why do some apps have no rating? Ratings come from the marketplace's public review widget. Apps with no reviews, or with no review product yet, omit rating. A real reviewCount: 0 is kept; apps with no review product at all omit both fields.

How many reviews can I collect? The source returns five reviews per page. maxReviewsPerApp accepts 1–100, and the actor stops at the last page or after two empty pages. The largest app currently has 225 reviews, so the 100-review cap is deliberate.

Which categories are available? All 14 live marketplace categories plus Featured, New, and Free. A few categories (CMS, Social Media, Shipping carriers) have no public category page, so the actor matches them exactly against each app's category list.

Does the actor expose install counts, app versions, last-updated dates, languages, badges or structured pricing tiers? No. The marketplace does not publish those datapoints; the actor ships the raw pricing text and the fields the source actually provides.

Are review authors anonymized? Sometimes. The marketplace displays some reviewers as anonymized names; the actor publishes the author name exactly as shown and does not attempt to de-anonymize it.

Is this affiliated with Ecwid or Lightspeed? No. This is an independent third-party actor reading publicly available marketplace pages.
