Salesforce AppExchange Scraper

This Apify actor scrapes listing details from Salesforce AppExchange using a sitemap-based approach. It extracts relevant metadata, developer details, reviews, and more.

Features

• Crawls the AppExchange sitemap for listing URLs
• Extracts application metadata such as name, description, and logo
• Retrieves developer information including name, website, email, and location
• Captures review statistics (average rating, review count)
• Collects supported industries, required products, and system requirements

Use Cases

• Competitive analysis of AppExchange listings
• Market research on Salesforce ecosystem applications
• Aggregating and analyzing developer data
• Monitoring changes in listings over time

How It Works

1. Sitemap Parsing: The scraper loads the AppExchange sitemap and extracts listing URLs.
2. Data Extraction: For each listing, it retrieves relevant metadata using Cheerio.
3. Data Storage: Extracted data is pushed to the Apify dataset for further processing.

Input Schema

This scraper does not require user input as it automatically crawls the AppExchange sitemap.
