App Store Reviews & App Data Scraper

Extract Apple App Store reviews, app details, ratings, search results and top charts. No developer account, no API key, no login.

Why this scraper

Past the 500-review cap. Apple returns at most 10 pages per storefront — 500 reviews — and answers page 11 with an error. Scrapers built the obvious way stop there, no matter how many reviews an app has. This one sweeps multiple country storefronts, each holding its own 500, so a single app can yield tens of thousands of reviews.

App version on every review. Apple exposes which build the reviewer was running. That is the column that turns a pile of complaints into "the 2.4.0 release broke something" — and most exports drop it.

Current-version rating separately. A 4.7-star average hides a bad update. The app mode returns the overall rating and the current-version rating side by side, so a drop is visible immediately.

Input notes

• Apps accept an App ID or a full apps.apple.com URL.
• Storefronts are two-letter country codes. Reviews differ per country — more countries means more unique reviews, not duplicates.
• Category IDs for charts: 6014 Games, 6017 Education, 6007 Productivity, 6013 Health & Fitness, 6015 Finance, 6002 Utilities.

---

Limits

• 500 reviews per storefront is Apple's cap; the way past it is more countries, which this Actor automates.
• Search returns at most 200 results per query — a limit of Apple's search endpoint.
• Ratings are snapshots at the time of scraping.
• Reviews are localised. A German storefront returns mostly German text.

FAQ

Do I need an Apple developer account? No. These are the same public endpoints the App Store website uses.

Can I get more than 500 reviews for one app? Yes — enable Use all major storefronts or list several countries.

Why do the same reviews not repeat across countries? Each storefront keeps its own reviews. Duplicates are filtered out anyway.

Can I see which version a complaint refers to? Yes, appVersion is on every review row.

What formats can I export? CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, or straight from the Apify API.
