How Does it Work?

BrowserAct builds the working public Eclipse Marketplace search URL in the format {base_url}/search?search_api_fulltext={keyword}&page=0. Search results are shown as public listing cards, with ten records per page.

For each listing card, BrowserAct maps visible fields into a flat record, resolves the listing URL, assigns a global rank, and advances through page=1, page=2, and later pages until the requested count is reached or a page has no listing cards.

How to Build a New Scraper Bot with Agent Built

Step 1: Describe the Data You Need

Open BrowserAct and start Agent Built from the Home prompt box or from Create -> Build with Agent. Paste a clear request that includes the website, the records to collect, the filters or search conditions, the fields to return, the result limit, and the inputs you want to reuse later.

Step 2: Let BrowserAct Build and Test the Bot

BrowserAct explores the live website, works out the navigation and extraction path, and validates the result. If BrowserAct asks for clarification, reply in the same build conversation with the missing URL, condition, field, example, or expected output.

Step 3: Run the Bot and Review the Result

When the build is complete, run the Bot with the default inputs first. Review the structured records, source URLs, missing fields, and row count before reusing the Bot with new inputs or connecting it to another workflow.

Why Scrape Eclipse Marketplace Plugin Results?

Eclipse Marketplace data helps teams discover developer tools, compare plugin categories, monitor ecosystem activity, enrich internal catalogs, and route public plugin metadata into dashboards, alerts, or agent workflows.

Who Can Use This Template?

• Eclipse developers researching plugins and add-ons.
• DevRel teams monitoring plugin ecosystems.
• Product teams comparing developer tooling categories.
• Platform teams enriching internal software catalogs.
• Automation builders routing plugin metadata into spreadsheets, databases, alerts, or agents.

How Many Results Can You Scrape?

Use count to control the number of listing records returned. The Bot reads ten records per public result page and continues through available pages until it reaches the requested count or no more public results are available.

Automation and Export

BrowserAct returns structured Eclipse Marketplace listing records first. You can then use the output through API JSON responses, n8n workflows, Make scenarios, Zapier automations, MCP-based agent workflows configured from the Bot's Integrations tab, or manual CSV review.
