App Store Scraper

Ten pages of fifty, then a 400. Apple's public review feed will not go past page 10, so 500 reviews per app is the ceiling here, and it is not a setting anyone can raise.

Everything else comes off the same open iTunes endpoints: keyword search or lookup by ID, full app metadata as rows, and the customer reviews when you ask for them. Those endpoints are open to anyone, so nothing here needs a developer key or an Apple ID.

Two modes

Search. Give it a searchTerm like notion and you get the matching apps, up to 200 (Apple's own cap on a search).

Look up by ID. Give it appIds — numeric trackIds like 1232780281, or bundleIds like net.shinyfrog.bear — and you get exactly those apps. This is the only mode where includeReviews does anything.

What you get per app

trackId, bundleId, appName, developer, developerId, price, formattedPrice, currency, isFree, averageUserRating, userRatingCount, averageUserRatingCurrentVersion, userRatingCountCurrentVersion, primaryGenre, genres, version, releaseDate, currentVersionReleaseDate, releaseNotes, description, sellerUrl, appStoreUrl, artworkUrl, screenshotUrls, ipadScreenshotUrls, minimumOsVersion, contentAdvisoryRating, fileSizeBytes, languageCodes, supportedDevices, advisories.

A real row, trimmed:

{
  "ok": true,
  "trackId": 1232780281,
  "bundleId": "notion.id",
  "appName": "Notion: Notes, Tasks, AI",
  "developer": "Notion Labs, Incorporated",
  "price": 0,
  "formattedPrice": "Free",
  "isFree": true,
  "averageUserRating": 4.7769,
  "userRatingCount": 89833,
  "primaryGenre": "Productivity",
  "genres": ["Productivity", "Business"],
  "version": "1.7.329",
  "releaseDate": "2017-09-14T19:07:31Z",
  "currentVersionReleaseDate": "2026-08-20T08:12:01Z"
}

With includeReviews on, the app row also carries reviewsCount and a reviews array. Each review has reviewId, author, rating (1 to 5), title, body, version, voteSum, voteCount and updated.

Input

{
  "appIds": ["1232780281"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviews": 200,
  "reviewsSort": "mostrecent",
  "country": "us"
}

Keyword search instead:

{ "searchTerm": "habit tracker", "country": "gb", "maxItems": 100 }

Limits worth knowing

• Reviews only work in ID mode. Search mode returns app metadata and nothing else, whatever includeReviews is set to.
• Apple's review feed serves about 50 reviews per page over 10 pages, so roughly 500 per app is the ceiling. Plenty of apps have fewer than you asked for. reviewsCount tells you what actually came back — a number below maxReviews normally just means there were no more.
• Search stops at 200 results. That's Apple's limit, not a setting here.
• Individual fields can be null. averageUserRating, userRatingCount, releaseNotes, sellerUrl, price and version are all missing on some apps. Every documented key is present on the row, but the value may be null — don't assume completeness.
• An invalid storefront code (us-uk, say) is rejected by Apple. You get a diagnostic row and no charge, rather than a silent empty result.

Billing

$0.001 when a run starts, then $0.00009 per app returned, which is $0.09 per 1,000. Flat on every plan.

The charge is per app row. Reviews ride along inside the app row and cost nothing extra, so pulling 500 reviews for one app is the same $0.00009 as pulling none. Diagnostic rows (BAD_INPUT, NO_RESULTS, rate limits, network errors) are ok: false and never charged.
