Free weekly report. Downloads: actors.csv (3751 KB) categories.csv (1 KB) opportunities.csv (28 KB) report.pdf (27 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 13,444 Store actors taken 2026-09-21T12:00:34+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 2026-09-18 snapshot.

3. Broken actors with real demand (build targets)

Actors with >= 20 users in 30 days that fail >= 25% of runs (with >= 50 runs), carry a deprecation notice, or are rated <= 3 by at least 3 reviewers. gap is OPEN when no healthy actor on the same topic has at least half the broken actor's users; leader-healthy means a working competitor already owns the topic. Score = 30-day users x severity.
