App Store & Google Play Scraper: Keyword Ranks, Charts, Details

App Store & Google Play Scraper returns app data from the Apple App Store and Google Play in one normalized schema. Three modes:

• 🔎 Keyword ranks (ASO): where every app ranks in App Store search for your keywords, with full app metadata on each row. Track your own apps only, or the whole top 200.
• 🏆 Top charts: top free, top paid and top grossing apps on the App Store and Google Play, by country and category (games, finance, productivity, ...).
• 📱 App details: full metadata for any app by URL or ID: name, developer, rating, ratings count, installs, price, in-app purchases, version, release and update dates, size, content rating, screenshots, website and more.

Plus:

• ✅ Rank-change alerts. Turn on rankChangesOnly and schedule the actor daily: each run returns (and bills) only apps that moved up, moved down, entered or dropped out, with their previous rank.
• ✅ Both stores, one schema. Same fields for iOS and Android, so you can compare stores, countries and competitors in one table.
• ✅ Public store data: Apple's official iTunes Search and Lookup APIs and RSS chart feeds, and public Google Play pages. No login, API key or proxy.
• ✅ Pay per result. Failed queries and apps that don't exist are free.

Who uses App Store and Google Play app data?

• ASO (App Store Optimization) specialists track keyword rankings for their apps and competitors, every day, in every country.
• Mobile marketers and growth teams watch top charts to spot rising competitors and measure launches and campaigns.
• Product managers and analysts compare ratings, prices, update cadence and in-app purchase ranges across a category.
• Investors and market researchers monitor top-grossing charts and new entrants by category and country.
• Agencies send clients weekly rank and chart reports via Apify integrations (Google Sheets, Slack, email, webhooks).

How does it work?

1. Pick a mode and fill in its section:
   • Keyword ranks: add keywords such as photo editor or budget tracker. Optionally list your apps in trackedApps to get only their rows.
   • Top charts: pick charts (top free / paid / grossing), stores and a category.
   • App details: add App Store or Google Play URLs or IDs. The store is detected automatically.
2. Pick a country (and a Google Play display language) and how many ranks you want per keyword or chart.
3. The actor calls the stores at a polite pace, retries rate limits and errors with backoff, and writes one dataset item per ranked app or app.

Field notes

• type: keywordRank, chartRank, app or error (a failed keyword, chart or app; free).
• rank: 1 = top. Keyword ranks are positions in Apple's official Search API results, which closely track, but can differ slightly from, what the App Store app shows a given user.
• rankChangesOnly rows: previousRank, rankChange (positive = moved up) and changeType: baseline (first run), new (entered the top N), up, down or dropped (left the top N; rank is its new position below the top N, or null if it's gone from the list).
• changeType: "notRanked": a trackedApps app isn't in the top maxResults for that keyword.
• App Store rows have full metadata in every mode. Google Play chart rows have name, developer, icon, category, price, rating, installs, content rating and description; run app details for the rest (rating counts, histogram, version, dates, contact).
• Google Play version is null for apps that show "Varies with device".
• language is the Google Play display language; App Store text comes in the country's default language.

How much does it cost?

Pay per event, no start fee:

Event	Price
Rank row (one app in a keyword search or top chart)	$0.001 ($1 per 1,000)
App (one app details record)	$0.0015 ($1.50 per 1,000)

Examples: 10 keywords × top 50 = 500 rank rows = $0.50. Four top-100 charts = $0.40. With trackedApps, you pay only for your apps' rows. With rankChangesOnly, unchanged ranks are free. Errors and missing apps are free. If you set a maximum cost per run, the actor stops cleanly when it's reached.

Tips

• Daily rank alerts: save a task with "rankChangesOnly": true, schedule it daily, and add a Slack, email or webhook integration. The first run is a baseline; later runs return only movers, new entries and drop-outs. Apple's search order jitters by a place or two between calls, so set minRankChange to 3 for keyword alerts; small slides across the top-N cut-off are ignored too, because the actor always compares the full result list. State lives in your account in the key-value store app-store-apps-ranks, one record per combination of mode, keywords or charts, stores, category, country and maxResults; changing any of these starts a new baseline.
• Your keyword positions only: set trackedApps and maxResults: 200 to see where your apps rank in the full result list while paying for one row per app and keyword.
• Multiple countries: ranks and charts are per country. Save one task per country.
• Google Play keyword ranks aren't offered; keyword ranks are App Store only.

FAQ

Is this the same ranking users see? Charts come straight from Apple's and Google's chart feeds. Keyword ranks use Apple's official Search API, the closest public source for App Store search order; personalization and Search Ads in the App Store app aren't included.

How fresh is the data? Live at run time. Apple updates charts several times a day; Google Play roughly daily.

Does it need a login, API key or proxy? No.

Can I use it through the API or with AI agents? Yes: the Apify API, the Apify MCP server or any Apify integration. Pricing is per event only.
