App Stores Scraper — Apple & Google Play ASO	Apple + Google Play (combo)

Apple App Store scraper for Apify — pull app & game metadata, keyword search, ASO keyword ranks, developer catalogs, customer reviews, and top charts. Optional HTML enrichment adds App Privacy labels, in-app purchases, and rating histograms. Multi-country storefronts (including an all-majors preset). No App Store Connect login.

Use it for competitor research, ASO rank tracking, review mining, and scheduled release / price / rating monitors. For Android / Google Play, use Google Play Store Scraper. For both stores in one run, use App Stores Scraper — Apple App Store & Google Play ASO.

When to use this Actor

• ASO: track where your app ranks for keywords across countries
• Competitor cards: version, price, ratings, privacy, IAP
• Review intelligence (multi-storefront RSS window)
• Top Free / Paid / Grossing charts by category (e.g. Games)
• Publisher portfolio dumps (developer_apps)
• Cron monitors for version, price, rating, privacy, IAP, and SERP moves

Key features

• iTunes Lookup / Search / RSS — fast JSON, no browser for core modes

Example — app details + HTML enrich

{
  "mode": "app_details",
  "appIds": ["310633997", "431946152"],
  "countries": ["us"],
  "enrichFromHtml": true,
  "maxItems": 10
}

Example — ASO keyword ranks

{
  "mode": "keyword_ranks",
  "appIds": ["310633997", "544007664"],
  "searchTerms": ["whatsapp", "messenger", "chat app"],
  "countries": ["us", "gb", "de"],
  "concurrency": 8,
  "rankHistoryLimit": 30,
  "emitRankChanges": true,
  "monitorStoreName": "apple-aso-ranks",
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example — Top Free Games

{
  "mode": "top_charts",
  "chartType": "top_free",
  "country": "us",
  "genreId": 6014,
  "chartLimit": 100,
  "enrichChartDetails": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

Example — reviews (multi-country)

{
  "mode": "reviews",
  "appIds": ["310633997"],
  "countries": ["us", "gb", "de", "jp"],
  "reviewSort": "mostRecent",
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 100,
  "maxItems": 400
}

Example — monitor (baseline then schedule)

{
  "mode": "monitor",
  "appIds": ["310633997", "284882215"],
  "countries": ["us"],
  "monitorStoreName": "apple-app-store-monitor-aso",
  "monitorBaselineOnly": true,
  "enrichFromHtml": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

After the baseline run, set monitorBaselineOnly to false (or omit it) so later runs push only change events.

Output

Field	Description
itemType	app, review, chart_entry, keyword_rank, monitor_event
appId	Numeric track ID
title / subtitle	App title; subtitle needs HTML enrich

developerName	Publisher
price / currency	Storefront price
rating / ratingCount	Aggregate ratings
ratingHistogram	1–5★ counts (HTML enrich)

Limitations

• Reviews RSS is a recent window, not full history (~500 per country per sort). Widen with more countries.
• Keyword ranks / search stop at Apple’s top 200 per term per country (found: false if outside).
• Genre charts often return up to ~100 positions.
• DSA street address is best-effort (providerAddress); often absent from public page JSON.

Workflow tips

1. Seed ASO with keyword_ranks + a dedicated monitorStoreName.
2. Schedule daily keyword_ranks (without resetMonitorState) to build history and RANK_CHANGE events.
3. Pair with monitor + enrichFromHtml for release / privacy / IAP alerts.
4. Use reviews + multi-country for sentiment around a version bump.
