App & Play Store Publisher Lead Extractor

Turn iOS app names, Apple App IDs, app URLs, or niche keyword searches into publisher sales leads: MX/DNS-verified contact emails + phones + socials + tech stack pulled from the publisher's own website (the Apple iTunes sellerUrl — not the App Store support email), an A–D lead score, the publisher's app catalog, and a publisher-readiness signal with a newly-launched flag.

This is the value proposition AppContactList.com charges $199/month for — a feed of app publishers with a verified business contact — delivered here per-verified-result, MCP-ready ("find publishers of newly launched apps in category X with a verified contact email").

Why this actor

• Verified contact from the publisher's own site. App-store scrapers dump metadata; none bundle a verified publisher contact. We hop from the app to the developer's own website (Apple's keyless iTunes sellerUrl) and run MX/DNS email verification — the same enrichment layer behind our Website Contact, ATS, Shopify, Podcast, and Hugging Face lead extractors.
• Newly-launched signal. A rolling launchedWithinDays window flags publishers whose apps just launched — peak outreach timing for agencies/SDK vendors hunting early-stage app makers.
• Per-success pricing. You pay only for publishers that return a real contact signal — no flat feed, no per-run charge for empty results.
• No keys, no proxy, no anti-bot, no compose cost. Apple's iTunes Search/Lookup API is public and keyless; the publisher's website is public HTML. Margin-positive from day one.

Input

Field	Type	Description
apps	string[]	Apple App Store URLs (https://apps.apple.com/.../id<ID>) or bare numeric App IDs.
searchQueries	string[]	Keywords to discover apps via Apple's iTunes Search API (e.g. "habit tracker").
maxPerQuery	int (1–200)	Apps returned per search query. Default 15.
country	string	iTunes storefront (default us).
category	string	Optional genre filter (e.g. "Finance"). Case-insensitive substring.
launchedWithinDays	int	Rolling window (days) to flag newly-launched apps. 0 = disabled (default).
verifyEmails	bool	MX/DNS-validate the best contact email. Default true.
concurrency	int (1–10)	Publishers processed in parallel. Default 5.
proxyConfiguration	object	Optional; only if you hit rate limits. The actor works without a proxy.

Provide apps and/or searchQueries. Unrecognized references are dropped gracefully (never billed).

Output

One record per publisher (apps rolled up by Apple developer id, falling back to the sellerUrl host). Example shape (a real record — see the verified sample below):

{
  "publisherName": "Notion Labs, Incorporated",
  "sellerUrl": "https://notion.com",
  "developerId": "1232780280",
  "developerUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/notion-labs-incorporated/id1232780280?uo=4",

  "publisherReadiness": "A",
  "publisherLabel": "Prime target — recently launched app(s), strong ratings, reachable contact.",
  "leadScore": "B",
  "hasContact": true
}

Note the truthfulness: Notion's website does not expose a contact email in scraped HTML, so emails: [] is returned honestly — not fabricated — while the phone, five socials, and tech stack it does expose are captured, so the lead still bills (hasContact: true). When a publisher's site does expose an email, it is MX/DNS-verified (see the Zipo record below).

Real-run sample

A live run on Apify with {"searchQueries": ["notion"], "launchedWithinDays": 30} resolved 11 publisher records. Two illustrate the value:

Notion Labs, Incorporated (developerId 1232780280) — 4 apps rolled up, newlyLaunched: true (Notion Agents launched 2026-07-07), publisherReadiness: A, leadScore: B, hasContact: true (phone + 5 socials + tech stack; emails: [] because notion.com hides its contact email in JS).

Zipo Apps Ltd. (developerId 1671444635, 1 app) — info@zipoapps.com extracted from the publisher's own site and MX/DNS-verified (emailVerified: true), leadScore: B, hasContact: true:

{
  "publisherName": "Zipo Apps Ltd.",
  "sellerUrl": "https://zipoapps.com/taskfornotionios/",
  "developerId": "1671444635",
  "appCount": 1,
  "apps": [
    {
      "title": "To-Do List & Tasks for Notion",
      "category": "Productivity",
      "releaseDate": "2022-01-05T08:00:00+00:00",
      "rating": 4.33,
      "ratingCount": 757,
      "newlyLaunched": false
    }
  ],
  "newlyLaunched": false,
  "emails": ["info@zipoapps.com"],
  "emailVerified": true,
  "socials": {},
  "techStack": ["Google Analytics", "Google Tag Manager"],
  "totalRatingCount": 757,
  "publisherReadiness": "C",
  "leadScore": "B",
  "hasContact": true
}

A second live run, {"apps": ["https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-new-music/id324684580"]}, resolved 1 publisher (Spotify, 40.9M ratings, publisherReadiness: B, hasContact: false — Spotify's site hides contacts, so it is not billed). A third, {"searchQueries": ["habit tracker"]}, resolved 11 small-publisher leads including HabitKit (socials) and Habitify-style indie devs. All three runs returned real, deduped, correctly-typed data with no placeholders or junk.

Pricing (pay-per-event, all above cost)

Event	Price	When charged
Publisher Lead with Contact (primary)	$0.008	Once per publisher returning a real contact signal + app catalog.
Verified Publisher Email	$0.003	When a publisher yields an MX/DNS-validated email.
Newly-Launched App Signal	$0.001	When a publisher has ≥1 app launched within the chosen window.
Actor Start	$0.0001	One-time per run.

Zero upstream compose cost (self-contained: keyless iTunes API + the publisher's own public website), so the primary event is comfortably above per-run compute.

Troubleshooting

• No results / "No apps resolved" — the iTunes Search API only returns iOS apps; confirm country matches a real storefront and that your query is app-relevant (not a raw company name only).
• emails: [] — the publisher has no sellerUrl on file, or their website exposes no contact email in scraped HTML. The actor returns the lead honestly with hasContact: false (not billed) rather than fabricating an address.
• newlyLaunched false everywhere — raise launchedWithinDays (it's a rolling window, default off).
• Duplicate publishers — apps roll up by Apple developer id; apps with no developer page roll up by the sellerUrl host, so the same company's apps collapse into one lead.

Notes & scope

• iOS-first. Google Play publisher discovery (Play Developer ID → developer website) is a fast-follow; this actor ships the iOS path, which is fully keyless.
• Contact always from the publisher's own site. Apple's sellerUrl points at the developer's company website — we never mine App Store support emails or personal seller addresses for outreach.
• newlyLaunched is a stateless rolling window, not a cross-run cursor: a run with launchedWithinDays=30 flags every app launched in the trailing 30 days, including ones a prior run already surfaced.
