Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper Scrape customer reviews from the **Apple App Store** and **Google Play** — ratings, review text, author, app version, and date — for any app, in any country storefront. Pay per review. ### What it does Give it one or more apps (by ID or store URL) and it returns their reviews as clean, structured records. Useful for: - **App developers & PMs** — monitor sentiment, catch regressions after a release, track ratings by version. - **ASO / marketing agencies** — watch client and competitor reviews at scale. - **Researchers & analysts** — sentiment analysis, feature-request mining, market research. ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `apps` | List of app IDs or store URLs. App Store: `324684580` or `https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify/id324684580`. Google Play: `com.spotify.music` or its Play URL. | | `store` | `app_store` or `google_play`. | | `country` | Two-letter storefront code (`us`, `gb`, `sg`, `de`…). Reviews are country-specific. | | `language` | Two-letter language (Google Play only). | | `sort` | `recent` or `helpful`. | | `maxReviews` | Max reviews per app (App Store caps ~500; Google Play higher). | ### Output One record per review: ```json { "store": "app_store", "appId": "324684580", "country": "us", "reviewId": "...", "author": "jane_doe", "rating": 5, "title": "Love it", "text": "Works great, but…", "appVersion": "9.1.60", "voteSum": "3", "updated": "2026-07-04T12:00:00-07:00" } ```` ### Data sources - **Apple:** the public iTunes RSS customer-reviews feed (stable JSON, no login). - **Google Play:** the maintained [`google-play-scraper`](https://pypi.org/project/google-play-scraper/) library, which tracks Google's review endpoint so results stay reliable. ### Pricing Pay-per-event: you're charged per **review** returned. No subscription — you only pay for what you pull. *** *Built with the Apify SDK for Python. Runs serverless on the Apify platform.* # Actor input Schema ## `apps` (type: `array`): App IDs or store URLs. For the App Store: a numeric ID (e.g. 324684580) or a URL like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify/id324684580. For Google Play: a package name (e.g. com.spotify.music) or its Play URL. ## `store` (type: `string`): Which store to scrape. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country/storefront code (e.g. us, gb, sg, de). Reviews are country-specific. ## `language` (type: `string`): Two-letter language code for Google Play reviews (e.g. en, de, fr). Ignored for the App Store. ## `sort` (type: `string`): Order reviews by most recent or most helpful/relevant. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of reviews to fetch per app. The App Store caps at ~500 (10 pages); Google Play can go higher. ## Actor input object example ```json { "apps": [ "324684580" ], "store": "app_store", "country": "us", "language": "en", "sort": "recent", "maxReviews": 200 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "apps": [ "324684580" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("datamule/app-store-reviews-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
