## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## App Store & Google Play App Details Scraper

**App Store & Google Play App Details Scraper** gets app details from both the Apple App Store and Google Play in one table: app name, developer, category, price, rating, number of ratings, installs, current version, last update, release date, content rating, and description. Paste app links or IDs, or search by keyword, and export the results to CSV, Excel, or JSON for app market research, ASO, competitor tracking, and lead lists of app publishers.

### What can this tool do?

- Look up apps from the **Apple App Store** and **Google Play** in the same run; the store is detected from each link or ID.
- Search both stores by keyword (for example "budget planner") and return the top apps with full details.
- Return ratings, rating counts, and Google Play install ranges to size markets and compare competitors.
- Show the current version and last update date, so you can see which apps are actively maintained.
- Return the developer's website and a role-based support email when the store lists one.
- Check any country's store: prices, ratings, and availability differ by country.
- List apps that cannot be found with the reason, free of charge.

### What data does it return?

One row per app, with the same columns for both stores. Example values from a real run of the default input:

| Field | App Store example | Google Play example |
|---|---|---|
| `store` | appStore | googlePlay |
| `appId` | 324684580 | com.spotify.music |
| `appName` | Spotify: Music and Podcasts | Spotify: Music and Podcasts |
| `developerName` | Spotify | Spotify AB |
| `developerWebsite` | https://www.spotify.com/ | https://www.spotify.com |
| `developerEmail` | null | support@spotify.com |
| `category` | Music | Music & Audio |
| `price` | 0 | 0 |
| `currency` | USD | USD |
| `rating` | 4.77 | 4.35 |
| `ratingCount` | 42244586 | 36364087 |
| `installs` | null | 1,000,000,000+ |
| `installsMin` | null | 1000000000 |
| `version` | 9.1.86 | null |
| `updatedDate` | 2026-09-23T17:49:27.000Z | 2026-09-18T07:51:07.000Z |
| `releaseDate` | 2011-07-14 | 2014-05-27 |
| `contentRating` | 12+ | Teen |
| `description` | With the Spotify app, you can explore an extensive library of music and podcasts for free… | With the Spotify music and podcast app, you can play millions of songs… |
| `iconUrl` | https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/… | https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/… |
| `url` | https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580 | https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music |
| `country` | us | us |
| `searchTerm` | null | null |
| `error` | null | null |

- `installs` and `installsMin` exist only on Google Play; the App Store does not publish download counts.
- `version` is `null` when Google Play shows "Varies with device".
- `developerEmail` only ever contains role-based addresses such as support@ or info@; personal addresses are dropped.
- `searchTerm` shows which keyword found the app. Missing values are `null`.

### How to use it

1. Paste App Store or Google Play links (or IDs), and/or enter search terms.
2. Choose the country and, for searches, which stores to search.
3. Click **Start**, then download the results as CSV, Excel, or JSON, or read them through the API.

### Pricing

Pay per app: **$2.00 per 1,000 apps**, plus $0.005 per run. Apps that cannot be found are listed with the reason and not charged. Set a maximum cost per run in the run options.

### Use it through the API, AI agents, and integrations

Call it from your code with the Apify API, schedule it to track rating and version changes, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, or an AI agent through Apify's MCP server.

### Is it legal?

This tool reads public store pages and Apple's official iTunes Search API, the same information anyone can see without an account. It does not log in or bypass access controls. It outputs app and publisher information only; personal email addresses are removed. You are responsible for how you use the data.

### FAQ

**How do I enter an app that exists in both stores?** Add both links, or the App Store ID and the Google Play package name (for example `324684580` and `com.spotify.music`). A package name like `com.spotify.client` that is not on Google Play is also tried as an App Store bundle ID. Use `apple:` or `play:` in front to force a store.

**Why is an app "not found"?** The link or ID may be wrong, the app may have been removed, or it is not available in the country you chose. Try the country where the app is sold.

**Why does Google Play search return fewer apps than I asked for?** Google Play's search page shows about 30 apps per keyword. Use several related keywords to cover more apps.

# Actor input Schema

## `apps` (type: `array`):

One app per line. The store is detected automatically: App Store links or numeric IDs (324684580), Google Play links or package names (com.spotify.music). Prefix with apple: or play: to force a store.

## `searchTerms` (type: `array`):

Optional. Find apps by keyword, for example "budget planner". Results from each selected store are added to the output.

## `stores` (type: `array`):

Which stores the search terms are run in. Apps entered above are always looked up in their own store.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

App Store search returns up to 200 apps; Google Play search shows up to about 30.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Two-letter country code of the store, for example us, gb, de, in, br. Prices, ratings and availability differ by country.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Usually not needed. If Google Play starts refusing requests on big runs, enable Apify datacenter proxies.

## MCP server setup

```json

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
