Shopify (NYSE:SHOP) is one of the largest e-commerce platforms on the internet. they allow you to setup a storefront with ease and start selling.

when you setup a store on Shopify, you can choose to install third party apps on your store which give you additional functionality that isn't in the core Shopify platform.

to see what kind of apps you can install, there's an app marketplace. me being curious, i thought it might be interesting to crawl the entire app marketplace, and download app and review data. so i did.
