Free weekly report. Downloads: actors.csv (3579 KB) categories.csv (1 KB) opportunities.csv (27 KB) report.pdf (26 KB)

Method: full sweep of the public Apify Store API in popularity order (see the report index for earlier weeks). "Broken" means 20+ monthly users and at least one of: 25%+ of runs failing, deprecated, rated 3 or lower, or no run in 30 days. A gap is OPEN only when no healthy competitor holds at least half the broken actor's users.

Snapshot of 12,884 Store actors taken 2026-09-18T20:44:14+00:00 from the public Store API, ranked by popularity. Every actor with any measurable 30-day usage is included (the API stops serving pages past ~16k actors; everything beyond has 30-day users <= 3). Deltas are against the 2026-09-14 snapshot.
