Apple App Store · Unique Developer Contacts

Export unique iOS App Store publishers for partnership and outreach — seller website, App Store developer page, and app portfolio. One publisher per row, not one row per listing.

No login. No API key. No Apple developer account.

Unit of work: 1 unique artistId (seller). Two apps from the same company count as one charged row.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Mobile SaaS / SDK vendor	Prospect iOS publishers in a niche	Search + keyword (invoice, crm, fitness)
ASO / growth agency	Build an outreach list from a category	Charts + genre (Business, Productivity…)
Partnership / BD	Refresh one known competitor’s publisher	Paste an App Store URL
Outbound / SDR	Need inboxes, not only websites	Turn Enrich email from website ON

What you get by default: publisher name, artistId, App Store developer page, seller website when Apple publishes it (~70%+ on keyword pools), sample app + ratings, genres, portfolio size in the run.

When to enable enrichment: turn Enrich email from website ON when you need a public mailbox scraped from the seller site. Off by default (faster, higher fill on website-only rows).

---

Modes

1. Search — keyword or App Store / iTunes URL (or bare numeric app id).
2. Charts — Top Free / Paid / Grossing for a genre + country (classic iTunes RSS → lookup).
3. App URL — automatic when you paste https://apps.apple.com/…/id… (loads that publisher’s portfolio).

There is no full-catalog dump in v1 (Apple search is capped ~200 results per query and does not paginate). Use keywords + genre charts to cover your ICP.

What it extracts

Field	Notes
developerName / artistId	Seller identity + stable dedupe key
developerWebsite / developerDomain	From sellerUrl (origin only)
developerProfileUrl	apps.apple.com developer page
developerEmail	Only if enrich is ON and a public inbox is found
appCount, appNames, maxRatingCount	Portfolio signal in this run
sampleApp* / listingUrl	Strongest app in the pool (by ratings)
genres, countries, discoverySources	Context for CRM / research

Apple does not publish a support email on the store listing API. Do not scrape App Store HTML for emails — pages mix related apps. Enrichment only uses the seller website.

Pricing

Pay-per-event: unique publisher written to the dataset — $4.50 / 1,000 on Free ($0.0045 / row → Diamond $0.00225).

Competing “1 lead per app” Actors often charge $0.01–$0.05 per app. Unique-publisher billing stays cheaper when the same seller has many titles.

Internals (developers)

• HTTP-only via iTunes Search / Lookup + classic RSS charts (got-scraping).
• Search hard wall ~200 results/query; offset does not paginate — design assumes keyword + chart shards.
• Optional website enrich: homepage + a few contact-ish same-origin links; noise filters for asset false positives.
