## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## App Store App Detail Scraper

Turn any App Store link into the complete record behind the app: full
description, release notes, ratings, price, version, size, languages and
content rating. Paste links or bare app IDs and each one comes back as a
structured row — perfect for competitor research, portfolio audits and app
catalog building without opening a single store page.

No Apple ID needed. No login. Nothing to install — paste links, run,
download the table.

### What you get

One row per app. Every field is a plain column:

| Field | What it is |
| --- | --- |
| `appId` | The app's numeric ID (stable, use it as your key) |
| `url` | Direct link to the app's store page |
| `name` | App title exactly as listed |
| `seller` | Seller / developer name |
| `sellerUrl` | Seller's website, when listed |
| `description` | Full store description, complete text |
| `releaseNotes` | Latest version's "What's New" text |
| `price` | Current price as a number (0 for free apps) |
| `priceDisplay` | Price exactly as shown, e.g. Free, $4.99 |
| `isFree` | `true` for free apps |
| `rating` | Lifetime average star rating (0–5) |
| `ratingCount` | Lifetime number of ratings |
| `ratingCurrentVersion` | Average rating of the current version |
| `ratingCountCurrentVersion` | Number of ratings on the current version |
| `genre` | Primary genre |
| `genres` | All listed genres |
| `contentRating` | Age rating, e.g. 4+, 12+, 17+ |
| `advisories` | Content advisory descriptors |
| `imageUrl` | Full-size app icon artwork URL |
| `version` | Current version number |
| `minOs` | Minimum iOS version required |
| `sizeBytes` | Download size in bytes (÷ 1,048,576 for MB) |
| `languages` | Supported language codes (ISO) |
| `inputUrl` | The link or ID you passed, for matching your input |
| `scrapedAt` | When the row was read (ISO timestamp) |

### Input options

- `appUrls` — App Store links (`apps.apple.com/…/id123456789`) or bare
  numeric app IDs, one per line. Up to 500 apps per run.
- `country` — Storefront country for regional content and prices
  (default US). Use GB, DE, FR… to see other storefronts.
- `maxConcurrency` — How many apps to read at once (1–5, default 3).
- `proxyCountry` — Request region (default `us`). Leave it unless results look regionally wrong.

### What you can do with it

- **Audit app pages.** Pull descriptions, release notes and ratings for a whole watchlist at once.
- **Research competitors.** Compare pricing, ratings and update cadence across rival apps.
- **Monitor your portfolio.** Verify every app's live metadata matches what you shipped.
- **Feed a spreadsheet.** Every field is a plain column — export to Excel, Google Sheets, CSV or JSON in one click.

### How much it costs

You pay per app row ($0.0020): 1,000 apps cost $2.00. Some typical runs:

- A 100-app competitor watchlist ≈ **$0.20**
- A 400-app catalog pull ≈ **$0.80**
- A monthly 500-app portfolio audit ≈ **$1.00 per run**

Links to removed apps or non-app pages are listed in the run summary and
never charged.

### Limits & good to know

- 500 apps per run. Split bigger catalogs across runs.
- Ratings and counts reflect the storefront country you selected.
- `sizeBytes` is the current version's download size — divide by 1,048,576 for megabytes.
- `languages` uses two-letter codes (EN, FR, DE…).

### FAQ

- **Do I need an Apple ID?** No. Nothing to log into, no key to paste.
- **Free or paid — how do I tell?** `isFree` plus `price`/`priceDisplay` cover it: free apps show price 0.
- **A link shows unreadable — was I charged?** No. Unreadable links appear in the run summary and cost nothing.
- **Can I track changes over time?** Yes — schedule it and compare `version`, `rating` and `releaseNotes` across runs.
- **How do I get the data out?** The dataset exports to Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets in one click, or via API.

### Output

Results land in the default dataset, one clean record per row, plus a run
summary in the key-value store (`OUTPUT`) with per-link counts and any
links that could not be read.

# Actor input Schema

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "appUrls": [
        "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tiktok-videos-shop-live/id835599320"
    ],
    "country": "US",
    "maxConcurrency": 3,
    "proxyCountry": "us"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("apt_marble/app-store-app-detail-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

    "maxConcurrency": 3,
    "proxyCountry": "us",
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("apt_marble/app-store-app-detail-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "appUrls": [
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tiktok-videos-shop-live/id835599320"
  ],
  "country": "US",
  "maxConcurrency": 3,
  "proxyCountry": "us"
}' |
apify call apt_marble/app-store-app-detail-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,apt_marble/app-store-app-detail-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
