## 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 Scraper - iOS app details, search rankings & top charts

App Store data for **any app in any country**, as JSON, CSV or Excel - one flat row per app:

- **App details** - rating, rating count, **1-5 star breakdown**, price, version, last update, size, minimum iOS, languages, description and screenshots
- **Keyword search** results with their **rank** - track your ASO position over time
- **Top charts** - top free, paid and grossing, overall or by category
- **All apps by a developer**

Built for **app marketers and ASO, mobile market research, competitor tracking, lead generation for app developers and investment research**. No login, no API key, no browser.

Search, chart and developer results have the same fields (plus `rank`, `searchTerm` or `chart`). Turn on *Include 1-5 star breakdown* to get `stars1`..`stars5`.

### Pricing

Pay per app row - see the **Pricing** tab. Cap spending with *Max apps per query*, *Max rows in total* or the run's maximum cost.

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

For Top charts.

## `category` (type: `string`):

For Top charts.

## `developerIds` (type: `array`):

For All apps by a developer: developer ids or apps.apple.com/developer URLs (e.g. 324684583).

## `countries` (type: `array`):

## `maxResultsPerQuery` (type: `integer`):

## MCP server setup

```json

    "mcpServers": {

        }
    }
}
```

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).
