How Does it Work?

BrowserAct opens {base_url}/themes/search/{keyword}/ for the first page of WordPress.org Theme Directory results. Each public result card contains a theme link, theme name, and screenshot image URL.

For larger counts, BrowserAct opens pagination pages in the format {base_url}/themes/search/{keyword}/page/{page_number}/. It keeps unique theme URLs, assigns continuous ranks across pages, and stops when it reaches count or when a search page returns no theme 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 WordPress Theme Directory Results?

WordPress theme directory data helps teams discover design patterns, compare public themes, collect screenshot references, monitor theme categories, and route theme metadata into research reports, databases, or agent workflows.

Who Can Use This Template?

• WordPress agencies researching theme options.
• Designers collecting public theme inspiration.
• Product teams monitoring theme categories and competitors.
• Content teams building website design research lists.
• Automation builders routing theme metadata into spreadsheets, databases, alerts, or agents.

How Many Results Can You Scrape?

Use count to control the number of theme records returned. WordPress.org typically shows 12 theme cards per page, and BrowserAct follows pagination until the requested count is reached or public results run out.

Automation and Export

BrowserAct returns structured WordPress theme 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.
