App Store Scraper — iOS App Metadata & Reviews

Scrape the Apple App Store from one input: search apps by keyword or target specific apps by ID/URL, and get full metadata plus customer reviews — as clean JSON.

Built on Apple's official iTunes API (itunes.apple.com). No API key, no login, no proxy, no cookies.

What you get

App metadata (per app, per country):

• Name, bundle ID, developer / seller, artist links
• Rating (average) and rating count — overall and for the current version
• Price and formatted price, currency
• Genres (primary + all), content advisory rating, advisories
• Version, release date, last update date, minimum iOS version
• File size, supported languages (ISO codes), supported devices
• Full description, release notes
• Artwork (icon) URLs and screenshot URLs (iPhone + iPad)
• Direct App Store URL

Customer reviews (best-effort, when Apple exposes them for that app/country):

• Author, star rating, title, review text
• App version reviewed, date, helpfulness votes

How to use it

Search by keyword — put terms in queries:

{ "queries": ["meditation", "photo editor"], "country": "us", "limit": 50 }

Target specific apps — put IDs or URLs in appIds:

{ "appIds": ["310633997", "https://apps.apple.com/id/app/id389801252"], "country": "us" }

Just the metadata, skip reviews (faster, cheaper):

{ "queries": ["budget tracker"], "includeReviews": false }

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
queries	array	—	Search keywords. Each returns up to limit apps.
appIds	array	—	Numeric App Store IDs or full URLs.
country	string	us	Two-letter store code (us, gb, id, de, jp, …). Prices/ratings/reviews are per country.
limit	integer	25	Apps per search term (1–200).
includeReviews	boolean	true	Also fetch customer reviews.
maxReviews	integer	100	Reviews per app (0–500).
reviewSort	string	mostrecent	mostrecent or mosthelpful.

Provide queries, appIds, or both.

Pricing

Pay per app. You are charged once for each app whose metadata is returned. Reviews are included at no extra charge. Items of "type": "error" are never charged.

Notes & limitations

• Metadata is complete and reliable — it comes from Apple's official lookup/search API.
• Reviews are best-effort. Apple's review feed covers apps unevenly; some app/country pairs return a full page of reviews, others return none. When no reviews are available the item is still emitted with reviewsAvailable: false — you are not charged extra for that.
• Data reflects the country store you choose. Ratings, prices and reviews differ by country.
