## Pricing

from $1.70 / 1,000 apps

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 & Google Play Scraper - Apps + Developer Emails

**Scrape apps from Google Play and the Apple App Store** by search keyword, package name or app URL. One row per app:
title, developer, **rating**, **ratings count**, **downloads** (Google Play), price / free, category, content rating,
release and update dates, version, size, languages, description and link. For **Google Play apps** you also get the
developer's published **contact block**: legal name, **email**, **phone**, **postal address**, **website** and privacy
policy. That makes it an **app developer lead list**, not just app data.

- `onlyWithEmail`: keep apps whose developer email is published (outreach lists for agencies, SDK / ad-tech / ASO vendors).
- Filters: minimum rating, minimum ratings count, free only.

### 📥 Input

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `searchQueries` | e.g. `["habit tracker", "invoice app"]` |
| `stores` | Google Play, App Store or both |
| `apps` | `com.duolingo`, Play URLs, App Store URLs or IDs |
| `maxAppsPerSearch`, `country`, `language` | size and locale |
| `minRating`, `minRatingsCount`, `onlyFree`, `onlyWithEmail` | filters |

```json
{ "searchQueries": ["meditation", "budget planner"], "stores": ["googlePlay"], "onlyWithEmail": true, "minRatingsCount": 1000 }
```

### 📤 Output (one Google Play app, shortened)

```json
{ "store": "googlePlay", "appId": "com.habitrpg.android.habitica", "title": "Habitica: Gamify Your Tasks", "developer": "HabitRPG, Inc.",
  "developerEmail": "admin@habitica.com", "developerPhone": "+1 415-562-6350", "developerAddress": "120 Washington St ..., Salem, MA ...",
  "developerWebsite": "https://habitica.com", "rating": 4.64, "ratingsCount": 75983, "downloads": "5M+", "updated": "Oct 5, 2026",
  "isFree": true, "containsAds": false, "inAppPurchases": true, "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.habitrpg.android.habitica" }
```

### 💡 Uses

- **B2B lead generation**: app developers with email, phone and address, filtered by niche and popularity.
- **App store research / ASO**: who ranks for a keyword, ratings, downloads and update cadence.
- **Competitor tracking**: monitor ratings and versions of competing apps on a schedule.

### 💰 Pricing

Pay per app returned (`app` event). Unknown apps and empty searches are free.

### ❓ FAQ

- **Login or API key?** No. Google Play public pages and Apple's public iTunes Search API.
- **Developer emails on iOS?** Apple doesn't publish them; you get the seller name and website. Google Play publishes email, phone and address.

```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 = {
    "searchQueries": [
        "habit tracker"
    ],
    "maxAppsPerSearch": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("centorprat/app-store-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) => {

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "searchQueries": [
    "habit tracker"
  ],
  "maxAppsPerSearch": 10
}' |
apify call centorprat/app-store-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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