## 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 Reviews Scraper

Get **user reviews from both the Apple App Store and Google Play in one run**, in the same columns, ready for Excel, Google Sheets, BI tools or an LLM.

### Why this one

- **Both stores, one format**: compare your app with competitors across iOS and Android without merging two exports.
- **Developer replies** included for Google Play.
- **Multi-country** for the App Store, and any review language for Google Play.
- No login, cookies or proxies needed. Fast: hundreds of reviews in a couple of seconds.

### Input

Paste App Store URLs or ids and Google Play URLs or package names:

```json
{"apps": ["https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580", "com.spotify.music"],
 "maxReviewsPerApp": 200, "countries": ["us", "gb"], "sort": "newest"}
```

### Output

One row per review:

```json
{"store": "google", "app_id": "com.spotify.music", "country": "us", "review_id": "2372...", "user_name": "Xali",
 "rating": 5, "title": null, "text": "This app is great, but ...", "date": "2026-10-19T12:58:36+00:00",
 "app_version": "9.0.84", "thumbs_up": 12, "developer_reply": "Thanks for the feedback ...",
 "developer_reply_date": "2026-10-20T08:10:00+00:00"}
```

App Store reviews have a `title`; Google Play reviews have developer replies.

### Use it for

- Finding bugs and feature requests after a release (filter by `app_version`)
- Competitor research and app store optimisation
- Sentiment analysis and dashboards

### Pricing

Pay per review returned. An app that can't be found returns nothing and costs nothing.

### Limits

- The App Store public feed returns at most 500 recent reviews per country; add countries to get more.
- Google Play returns up to 10,000 reviews per app. Its reviews depend on the language, not the country, so a Google Play app is fetched once, for the first country.
- Only public reviews; reviewer profiles beyond the display name are not collected.

### Also available as an API

The same data is available per call over HTTP (x402, paid in USDC) and as an MCP tool for AI assistants at https://bess-x402.onrender.com.

# Actor input Schema

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

App Store URLs or numeric ids (e.g. 324684580), and Google Play URLs or package names (e.g. com.spotify.music). Mix both stores freely.

## `maxReviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`):

Google Play goes up to 10,000. The App Store feed stops at 500 per country, so add more countries for more.

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

Two-letter store countries such as us, gb, de, in. Each app is fetched once per country.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Review language for Google Play, e.g. en, de, es.

## `sort` (type: `string`):

Order the store returns reviews in.

# 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",
        "com.spotify.music"
    ],
    "countries": [
        "us"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("domnicshadowuae/app-store-google-play-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",
        "com.spotify.music",
    ],
    "countries": ["us"],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("domnicshadowuae/app-store-google-play-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",
    "com.spotify.music"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "us"
  ]
}' |
apify call domnicshadowuae/app-store-google-play-reviews --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,domnicshadowuae/app-store-google-play-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).
