Extension intelligence · live dataset · September 9, 2026
The archive currently stores 401,350 extensions, themes and legacy apps with 2770.7M displayed users. The immediate signal: 91.9% show fewer than 1,000 users, 55.7% have no ratings, and 16.2% request broad host access. Query every record—or pull the same chart-ready metrics—over REST or MCP.
Figures are read from the production metrics, search and change endpoints and refresh hourly. The full census is durable and resumable, so totals continue to grow without resetting after rollouts.

The sitemap mixes three store object types. Keeping them explicit avoids treating sparse theme and legacy-app metadata as parser failures.
| Item type | Records | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Extensions | 302,075 | 75.3% |
| Themes | 84,545 | 21.1% |
| Legacy apps | 14,324 | 3.6% |
| Unknown | 406 | 0.1% |
368,945 records (91.9%) show fewer than 1,000 users, including 73,957 with no displayed user count. Just three items clear one million users, so aggregate reach is extremely concentrated.

64,840 items request broad host access, 89,714 disclose data collection, and 181,347 link a privacy policy. These flags support allowlist review, competitor monitoring and permission-drift alerts; they do not label an item safe or unsafe.

223,448 items (55.7%) have no ratings at all, while 136,900 have fewer than ten. Among items with ratings, the unweighted average is 4.46, but the bands reveal the missing-volume problem that an average hides.

The metrics endpoint returns both item counts and summed displayed users, so the dashboard can distinguish crowded categories from categories dominated by a few high-reach extensions.

The metrics route returns summary cards, all chart distributions, publisher portfolios, top categories and permissions, and a 7-, 30- or 90-day change series. Search and item endpoints provide the underlying records.
The crawler discovers public items through the Chrome Web Store sitemap, fetches credential-free item pages, normalizes store, publisher and manifest fields, and writes current state plus change-only history. Durable claims, retry limits and dead-letter tracking make the census resumable across rollouts.
The full census updates progressively, so totals may grow during the initial backfill. Displayed users are store-provided rounded values. Broad access and data-collection flags summarize declarations, not observed behavior. Publisher emails are publicly disclosed by the store.
For the endpoint contract, filters and examples, see the Datasets API documentation.
