Caution
In April 2025, Google replaced the API that was used to easily collect the manifest.json without downloading the entire CRX. As a result, the last complete dataset including manifests was on 2025-04-15. The automation continues to run daily collecting the list of all chrome extension IDs but no longer includes manifests.
This repository contains manifest.json files (as well as associated store metadata) extracted from Chrome extensions from the Chrome webstore.
This dataset is automatically updated every day. It's meant to be useful for analysis of the Chrome extension ecosystem, such as what permissions are requested, common Content Security Policies, etc.
This repository was directly inspired by mandatoryprogrammer/chrome-extension-manifests-dataset.
