Note: this uses a tool I built, but the parsing approach works for any Shopify App Store scraping project.
If you build Shopify apps — or invest in them — the App Store is a goldmine of competitive intelligence. The trick most people miss: reviews come with the reviewing merchant's store name, country, and how long they used the app. That turns "3 new 1-star reviews" into "here are the named stores leaving my competitor this week, and why."
The good news: it's server-rendered HTML
Unlike a lot of modern sites, Shopify App Store pages render on the server. No headless browser needed.
App details live in a JSON-LD block (<script type="application/ld+json">): name, aggregateRating, category. Developer, launch date, and pricing plans are in the surrounding markup.
