## 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 Reviews & App Details

Get iPhone and iPad app data from Apple's App Store for any app and any country: app details (average rating and rating count, current version and its release notes, price, size, genre, content rating, description, icon and screenshots) and the most recent customer reviews (star rating, title, text, app version, date, helpful votes).

Paste App Store links, numeric app IDs, or just app names (the top search result is used).

**Pricing:** $2 per 1,000 app records and $0.20 per 1,000 reviews.

### Good for

- **App developers and product teams**: track what users say after each release, by version and country
- **Competitor research**: compare ratings, update frequency and complaints across rival apps
- **ASO and marketing**: mine review language for keywords and messaging
- **Sentiment analysis and AI**: feed recent reviews into your own models

### Output

Each row has `type`: `app` for app details, `review` for a review, or `error` (free) when an app isn't found in a country.

| App fields | Review fields |
|---|---|
| `appId`, `bundleId`, `name`, `developer`, `url`, `price`, `formattedPrice`, `rating`, `ratingCount`, `ratingCurrentVersion`, `version`, `currentVersionReleaseDate`, `releaseNotes`, `primaryGenre`, `genres`, `contentRating`, `sizeBytes`, `minimumOsVersion`, `languages`, `description`, `iconUrl`, `screenshotUrls` | `reviewId`, `appId`, `appName`, `country`, `rating` (1-5), `title`, `text`, `appVersion`, `date`, `author`, `voteSum`, `voteCount` |

### Input

- **Apps**: links like `https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580`, IDs like `324684580`, or names like `Duolingo`.
- **Countries**: App Store country codes (`us`, `gb`, `de`...). Reviews are separate per country.
- **Maximum reviews per app and country**: default 100, most recent first, up to 500.
- **Include app details**: on by default.

### Limits

- Apple's public review feed returns at most the 500 most recent reviews per app per country, and only reviews with written text (not star-only ratings).
- Apple limits how fast its public API can be called, so the tool paces itself at about one request every 3 seconds. Large runs take a while.
- Data comes from Apple's public iTunes Search API and App Store review feeds. No logins.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "apps": [
        "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580",
        "Duolingo"
    ],
    "countries": [
        "us"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dodge_bot/app-store-reviews").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "apps": [
        "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580",
        "Duolingo",
    ],
    "countries": ["us"],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("dodge_bot/app-store-reviews").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "apps": [
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580",
    "Duolingo"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "us"
  ]
}' |
apify call dodge_bot/app-store-reviews --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dodge_bot/app-store-reviews"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
