Apple App Store Scraper: apps, ratings and reviews

Get Apple App Store apps, ratings, customer reviews, developer catalogues and top charts as clean JSON, CSV or Excel, from many countries in one run. One Actor does all five jobs: search apps, app details, reviews, all apps of a developer, and top free, paid and grossing charts.

The Actor reads only Apple's own official public endpoints (the iTunes Search and Lookup APIs and the App Store RSS feeds). It needs no login, no API key and no browser, so runs are fast and cheap: 20 reviews take about 4 seconds, a full top-100 chart with complete app details about 5 seconds.

Who uses it

• ASO and app marketing teams tracking ratings, rank, categories, prices and release notes of their app and competitors in every storefront.
• Product teams reading what users complain about after each release. Filter by star rating and date to get only the new 1 and 2-star reviews.
• Market researchers and investors who want the top grossing games in India or every finance app that matches "budget" in ten countries.
• AI agents and data teams doing sentiment analysis, topic clustering or LLM summaries of reviews. The Actor can be called as a tool through the Apify MCP server.

Modes

Mode	You give	You get
Search apps	search terms, e.g. budget tracker	up to 200 apps per term per country, with their search position
App details	app IDs, App Store links or bundle IDs	full details of each app in each country
Reviews	app IDs, App Store links or bundle IDs	customer reviews, filtered by stars and date
Developer apps	developer IDs or developer links (an app ID works too)	every app of that developer
Top charts	chart (top free, top paid, top grossing, new free, new paid), iPhone or iPad, optional category	up to 100 ranked apps per country, with full details

Turn on Also get reviews for each app in any app mode to save each app's reviews right after it, for example the top 20 grossing games plus their latest reviews in one run.

Every record has recordType set to app or review, so mixed runs stay easy to filter.

The dataset has two ready views, Apps and Reviews. A run summary (counts per country and any warnings, such as an app that is not sold in one country) is saved as SUMMARY in the key-value store.

Pricing

You pay per record saved to the dataset (each app or review is one record). Reviews dropped by your star or date filters are free. Max results is a hard cap, so you always know the most a run can cost. With several countries or search terms the cap is shared fairly, so the first country cannot use it all.

Limits

• Reviews: Apple's feed gives up to 500 most recent reviews per app per country (10 pages of 50), and a separate list of up to 500 most helpful ones. Choose review order "Both" to merge them for about 1,000 per app per country. For more reviews, add more countries: each storefront has its own reviews.
• Apple's feed has only reviews with text. Star-only ratings are counted in ratingCount but have no review record.
• Search: at most 200 apps per term per country (Apple's limit). Use more specific terms for more coverage.
• Charts: up to 100 apps per chart per country. New free and New paid charts exist for iPhone only.
• Developer apps: up to 200 apps per developer per country.
• Apple sometimes reports the same number for total and current-version ratings. The Actor returns what Apple returns.

FAQ

Is this allowed? The Actor uses only Apple's official public endpoints (iTunes Search API, Lookup API and the App Store RSS feeds) that Apple offers for anyone to use, at a polite pace with automatic back-off. It does not log in, use keys or get around any protection. You are responsible for how you use the data, including reviewers' names.

Which countries work? Any App Store storefront, by its two-letter code: us, gb, in, de, fr, jp, br, ca, au, kr and so on.

How do I find an app ID? It is the number after id in the App Store link, e.g. 310633997 in https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997. You can also paste the whole link or the bundle ID.

Can I get reviews in one language? Reviews come in the language the user wrote them in, and a storefront's reviews are mostly in its local language. The Language setting changes app names, descriptions and categories, e.g. en_us in the Japanese store.

Can I track new reviews daily? Yes. Save the input as a Task with reviewsSince set, add a Schedule, and with "Most recent" order the Actor stops reading as soon as it reaches older reviews, so daily runs are quick and cheap.

Integrations

Send results to Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make, n8n, Airbyte or a webhook with Apify integrations, or read them from the Apify API in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML. AI agents can call the Actor through the Apify MCP server.

Something broke or a field is missing? Open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab and it will be fixed quickly.
