Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## App Store Scraper Max — Apple + Google Play Apps & Reviews **App Store Scraper Max — Apple + Google Play Apps & Reviews** — a fast, reliable appstore scraper that needs **no API key**. Scrape App Store and Google Play app metadata and reviews. Unified schema across both stores. No login. $0 on failed or empty runs. You pay only for the results you get: failed or empty runs are always free. This appstore scraper runs on the [Apify platform](https://apify.com), so you can call it from the API, run it on a schedule, or export results to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets. ### What this scraper does - Extracts structured **appstore** data with no browser or API key required - Returns clean JSON, one record per result — ready for sheets, databases, or apps - Pay-per-result pricing: you are never charged for a run that returns nothing - Runs on demand or on a schedule, and integrates with 5,000+ apps via the Apify API and webhooks ### What data you get Each result record includes fields such as: - **Store** (`store`) — e.g. `"appstore"` - **App Id** (`appId`) — e.g. `"284882215"` - **Bundle Id** (`bundleId`) — e.g. `"com.facebook.Facebook"` - **Title** (`title`) — e.g. `"Facebook"` - **Developer** (`developer`) — e.g. `"Meta Platforms, Inc."` - **Developer Id** (`developerId`) — e.g. `"284882218"` - **Developer Url** (`developerUrl`) — e.g. `"https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/meta-platforms-inc/i...` - **Rating** (`rating`) — e.g. `4.52328` - **Rating Count** (`ratingCount`) — e.g. `27140986` - **Rating Count Current Version** (`ratingCountCurrentVersion`) — e.g. `27140986` - **Price** (`price`) — e.g. `0` - **Formatted Price** (`formattedPrice`) — e.g. `"Free"` - **Currency** (`currency`) — e.g. `"USD"` - **Free** (`free`) — e.g. `true` - **Category** (`category`) — e.g. `"Social Networking"` ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `appIds` | array | iTunes IDs (284882215), App Store URLs, Google Play package names (com.foo.bar), or Play URLs. Store auto-d... | | `searchTerms` | array | Keywords to search the App Store for apps. | | `platform` | string | Which store(s) to scrape. | | `country` | string | Two-letter country/store code (us, gb, de, ...). | | `includeReviews` | boolean | Also scrape recent reviews for each app. | | `maxReviewsPerApp` | integer | Cap on reviews per app (Apple RSS serves up to ~500). | | `maxItems` | integer | Cap on apps returned per search term. | | `freeOnly` | boolean | Keep only free apps. | ### Example output ```json { "type": "app", "store": "appstore", "appId": "284882215", "bundleId": "com.facebook.Facebook", "title": "Facebook", "developer": "Meta Platforms, Inc.", "developerId": "284882218", "developerUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/meta-platforms-inc/id284882218?uo=4", "rating": 4.52328, "ratingCount": 27140986, "ratingCountCurrentVersion": 27140986, "price": 0, "formattedPrice": "Free", "currency": "USD", "free": true, "category": "Social Networking", "genres": [ "Social Networking" ], "contentRating": "12+", "description": "Where real people propel your curiosity.

Billing is per result, so empty or failed runs are free. **Can I run the appstore scraper on a schedule?** Yes. Use the Apify Scheduler to run it hourly, daily, or on any cron schedule, and get results by webhook or API. **What export formats are supported?** Results can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or pushed to Google Sheets, a database, or your own app via the Apify API. **Is the data structured?** Yes. Every appstore result is a clean, flat JSON record you can use immediately. # Actor input Schema ## `appIds` (type: `array`): iTunes IDs (284882215), App Store URLs, Google Play package names (com.foo.bar), or Play URLs. Store auto-detected. ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Keywords to search the App Store for apps. ## `platform` (type: `string`): Which store(s) to scrape. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country/store code (us, gb, de, ...). ## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`): Also scrape recent reviews for each app. ## `maxReviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`): Cap on reviews per app (Apple RSS serves up to ~500). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Cap on apps returned per search term. ## `freeOnly` (type: `boolean`): Keep only free apps. ## `maxCostUsd` (type: `integer`): HARD budget cap.
