Apple App Store Review Scraper

What is Apple App Store Review Scraper?

Apple App Store Review Scraper is an Apify Actor that collects public ratings, review text, app versions, helpful votes and developer replies for the apps you list and the App Store countries you choose. Paste app links, IDs or names, set filters, and receive a clean dataset ready for export.

• Every storefront: read one country, several countries or all storefronts in a single run.
• Filters before saving: keep only the stars, dates, keywords, reply status and edited reviews you ask for.
• Monitoring mode: schedule runs to track new App Store reviews, because each run can return only reviews newer than the previous one.
• Built-in summary: get average stars, star distribution and reply rate for every app and country.

Use this Apple App Store reviews scraper when you want a full export instead of scrolling an app page. Among the Apify App Store scraper Actors, this one is built around reviews, developer replies and monitoring.

Click Try for free, paste an App Store link and press Start.

What data can you extract from the App Store?

The dataset covers public iOS App Store reviews for the apps and countries you choose. Each run saves one row per review, so you can get App Store reviews into a spreadsheet or BI tool without copying anything by hand. The field names below match the dataset schema, and the example values come from the schema.

Why pick this App Store reviews tool?

Many apps and countries fit in one run, which makes the Actor a practical App Store reviews extractor for agencies and product teams. Reviews reach the dataset while the run is still going, so it doubles as an App Store review downloader for long jobs.

Schedule the Actor with Apify schedules and it behaves like an App Store review exporter that runs without you. You do not need to build an App Store review crawler or maintain servers, because the input form and the Start button are enough.

Setup is limited to an Apify account, since this App Store review scraping tool asks for no Apple login or API key. It is not a generic App Store web scraper that you configure page by page, because the form only asks for apps, countries and filters.

Use cases for App Store review data

• Sentiment research: feed text and score into App Store review sentiment analysis to see which themes drive low ratings.
• Trend analysis: run an App Store review analysis over time using date and score.
• Release checks: group iOS app reviews by version to spot a release that changed ratings, when Apple provides the version.
• Competitor benchmarking: collect App Store reviews for competitor analysis by running rival apps beside your own and comparing the summary table.
• Support triage: filter App Store reviews by rating to send one- and two-star complaints to your support team.
• Reply audits: study developer replies to App Store reviews, including responseTimeHours, to see how fast and how often a team answers.
• Regional insight: compare App Store reviews by country to see how ratings and complaints differ between markets.
• Research data: build an App Store reviews dataset for language experiments or academic projects.
• Ongoing watch: set up App Store review monitoring with a schedule and the Only new reviews since last run option.

How to scrape App Store reviews

1. Create a free Apify account and open Apple App Store Review Scraper in the Apify Store.
2. Paste one or more app links into App Store URLs, or add numeric IDs under App Store IDs, or type app names under Find apps by name.
3. Pick the App Store countries to read, or choose All storefronts.
4. Set Max reviews and any filters such as stars, dates, keywords or developer reply.
5. Click Start and wait while the Apple app reviews scraper collects your reviews.
6. Open the Output tab or the Storage tab and download the dataset.

How to export App Store reviews

Open the finished run, choose the dataset and pick a download format such as JSON, CSV or Excel. To export App Store reviews to CSV without the dataset menu, switch on Also save a CSV file, and the run saves a flattened reviews.csv file in its key-value store.

How to download App Store reviews

Set Max reviews to the number you need and start the run. To download all App Store reviews that are available for an app, set Max reviews to 0, which means the full available history. Free plan runs stop at 10 reviews.

How to read App Store reviews in bulk

Add several app links or app names to one run and select the countries you want. The Actor reads every app and country pair as its own job and writes all rows to one dataset, with country and appId on each row.

How much does it cost to scrape Apple App Store reviews?

Apple App Store Review Scraper uses tiered pay-per-event pricing: $1 per 1,000 results on the Free plan, and less on paid plans. Each saved review is one result, billed as the main_result event that the Console shows as Results.

Apify plan	Price per 1,000 results
Free	$1
Bronze	$0.9
Silver	$0.8
Gold / Platinum / Diamond	$0.7

A small Actor Start event of $0.00005 is also charged for each run start. On the Free plan, a run that saves 1,000 reviews therefore costs $1 for the results plus the start event.

The free plan saves up to 10 reviews per run, and paid Apify plans have no limit on reviews per run. If you set a maximum spend for a run, the Actor stops cleanly when that limit is reached. See the Pricing tab for current rates.

Output

The scraped results are shown as a dataset in the Storage tab. The table view is for convenience and doesn't show all the fields.

Every run produces an App Store review dataset with a Reviews view and a Votes and replies view, plus separate tables for developer replies and the app summary. Use the Storage tab for an App Store reviews export in JSON, CSV, Excel and other formats that Apify supports. The optional SUMMARY file and reviews.csv file are in the key-value store.

This is an example output for one review. The values are the field examples from the dataset schema, so they are illustrative and not a captured run.

Limitations and error handling

• The Actor reads public App Store reviews only. It does not collect private data.
• The number of reviews depends on what Apple makes available for each app and country. Run a small test first, then raise Max reviews.
• The free plan saves up to 10 reviews per run.
• version stays empty when Apple does not provide the app version for a review.
• developerResponse and responseTimeHours are empty for reviews the developer has not answered.
• Max reviews examined (maxScanned, default 20000) stops reading an app and country after that many reviews were checked against your filters. Very strict filters can end a job early.
• The Latest reviews only review source option returns up to 500 reviews per app and country.
• Invalid links, IDs and storefront codes are skipped and written to the run log.
• The Actor does not write error rows to the dataset. Problems appear in the run log and the run status message.

Message	What it means	What to do
Add at least one App Store URL, App ID or app name.	The run had no apps to read.	Fill in App Store URLs, App Store IDs or Find apps by name.
Invalid input: ...	A filter or date could not be used, for example a star rating outside 1 to 5, a lowest rating above the highest, or a start date after the end date.	Correct the input and start again.
No reviews matched - check the apps, countries and filters	The run finished without saving a review.	Loosen the filters or try another country.
Nothing could be collected - see the log	Every app and country job failed.	Open the run log and try again later.
Spend limit reached	Your maximum spend for the run was reached, so the run stopped cleanly.	Raise the spend limit if you need more reviews.

Integrating Apple App Store Review Scraper with other apps

Start runs, schedule them and read results through the Apify API. The API tab has ready-made JavaScript, Python and CLI snippets. Because every run is reachable over that API, it can serve as an Apple reviews API for dashboards and scripts.

Developers who search for an App Store scraper Python example can start the Actor with the Apify Python client and read the dataset items as JSON. Point a dashboard that expects an Apple store reviews API feed at the dataset items of the latest run.

Combine the Apify API with webhooks to build an App Store scraper API pipeline that stores new reviews automatically. Add a schedule and a webhook to export Apple App Store reviews to your own systems after each run. See the Apify documentation for integrations, schedules and webhooks.

Is it legal to scrape App Store reviews?

Apple App Store Review Scraper only collects reviews that people have published publicly in the App Store, and it does not collect private data such as email addresses or location. Results can still contain personal data such as reviewer display names, so collect it only with a legitimate reason, consider GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and Apple's terms, and consult a lawyer if you are unsure. Apify's guides on the legality of web scraping and ethical web scraping are a good starting point.

FAQ

How much does it cost to run Apple App Store Review Scraper?
