App Store & Google Play App Details Scraper — Search & Metadata

Get the metadata of any iOS or Android app — or of every app matching a keyword — from both stores in one unified format: title, developer, category, price, rating and ratings count, installs, version, release notes, screenshots, description, content rating and more. Per country, as JSON, CSV or Excel, or through the API.

Pair it with the App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper for the reviews themselves.

Why this Actor

• Both stores in one unified schema; fields a store lacks are null, so everything fits one table
• Keyword search returns full app records — up to 200 per query on the App Store
• Batched Apple lookups: 1,000 apps by ID in about a minute
• Per-country prices, availability, ratings and install brackets
• Checked every day by an automated run

What you get

Field	Description
platform, appId, bundleId, url, country	Store, ID (App Store numeric ID / Google Play package), store page
title, summary, description, icon, screenshots, video	Listing content
developer, developerId, developerUrl, developerWebsite, developerEmail	Publisher (email: Google Play only)
category, categories, contentRating, languages, minimumOs, sizeBytes	Classification and requirements
price, currency, free, inAppPurchases, adSupported	Monetisation
rating, ratingsCount, reviewsCount, ratingCurrentVersion, ratingsCountCurrentVersion	Ratings (current-version figures: App Store only)
installs, minInstalls	Google Play install bracket
version, releaseNotes, released, updated	Release info
source, query	app (by ID/URL) or search (+ the keyword)

Fields a store does not provide are null, so both stores fit in one table. A per-target summary (found / not found in the country, errors) is saved as SUMMARY.

Input

• Apps — any mix of App Store URLs or numeric IDs and Google Play URLs or package names. An App Store URL with a country is read for that country.
• Search queries — keywords; choose which stores to search and how many results per query (App Store up to 200, Google Play usually 20–30).
• Country and Language — storefront and text language.

Limits and notes

• Apple's search API allows about 20 requests a minute; the Actor paces itself and batches lookups (100 apps per request), so 1,000 apps by ID take about a minute.
• Google Play search returns what the store shows for the keyword — typically 20–30 apps.
• Availability, prices and ratings differ by country; run once per country you care about.
• No login, no proxies, no personal data — public store endpoints only.

    "apple",
    "google"
  ],

    print(item)

• n8n, Make, Zapier — use the Apify node/module: run the Actor, then "get dataset items".
• Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks — add an integration on the run's Integrations tab.
• AI agents — the Actor is available as a tool through the Apify MCP server; the dataset schema describes every field for the model.
• Schedules — run it hourly, daily or weekly from the Schedules tab.

FAQ

Can I search both stores for a keyword?

Yes — put keywords in searchQueries and pick the stores in searchPlatforms; every result comes back as a full app record.

How many search results can I get?

Up to 200 per query on the App Store; Google Play returns what the store shows for the keyword, usually 20–30.

Are install numbers exact?

Google Play publishes install brackets (10,000,000+) — installs is that text and minInstalls the lower bound. Apple publishes no install counts; use ratingsCount as a proxy.

Why is an app missing?

Availability is per country: an app not sold in the chosen storefront is reported as not found in the summary.

What does a run cost?

$2 per 1,000 app records. The free plan's $5 a month covers about 2,500 apps.
