App Store Scraper: iOS apps, ratings, and reviews from any country

App Store Scraper collects iOS app details and user reviews from Apple's App Store. Give it app IDs, App Store links, or search terms, and you get each app's rating, number of ratings, price, version history dates, size, developer, genres, languages, description, release notes, icon, and screenshots. Turn on reviews to also get each review's rating, headline, text, app version, date, and helpful votes.

You don't need an Apple account, an API key, or any code. The actor reads Apple's public iTunes endpoints without a browser, so runs are fast and cheap: in our tests it collected 4 apps and 2,000 reviews in 17 seconds.

What can you do with App Store data?

• Track your app's reputation. Pull the newest reviews every day and catch complaints about a new release before they hit your rating.
• Analyze competitors. Compare ratings, prices, update frequency, and what users praise or hate in rival apps.
• Find feature requests and bugs. Feed review text into sentiment or topic analysis to see what users ask for.
• Research a market. Search a category in several countries and compare which apps lead, what they cost, and how users rate them.
• Monitor releases. Watch version numbers, release dates, and release notes of the apps you care about.
• Build datasets. Export apps and reviews to a spreadsheet or database for research or model training.

App example

Real output for Facebook in the US store. Long text is shortened.

Limits

• 500 reviews per app per country. Apple's public review feed stops at 10 pages of 50. For a popular app, the 500 newest reviews may cover only a few days. To collect more, run the same app in several countries, or run once with mostRecent and once with mostHelpful.
• No developer replies. Apple's public feed doesn't include the developer's responses to reviews.
• Search returns up to 200 apps per query, in the order Apple ranks them.
• iOS apps only. Mac-only apps and in-app purchases aren't covered.
• Apple throttles heavy traffic. The actor retries a failed request up to 5 times, each time from a new IP.

How much does it cost?

You pay $0.50 per 1,000 dataset items, and an app and a review each count as one item. For example, 10 apps with 100 reviews each make 1,010 items and cost about $0.50.

Export and integrations

The results go into an Apify dataset. From there you can:

• download them as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or RSS from the Output tab;
• send them to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, and other tools through Apify integrations;
• schedule runs, for example every morning, to track new reviews;
• start runs and read the results from your own code through the Apify API.

FAQ

Do I need an Apple account or API key?

No. The actor reads Apple's public iTunes lookup, search, and review feeds.

Can I get all reviews of an app?

Apple's public feed serves the newest 500 reviews per country. Running several countries, or both sort orders, gives you more distinct reviews.

Why do ratings differ between countries?

Each App Store country keeps its own ratings, reviews, and prices. Set country, or use a link that contains the country, to pick one.

Can I scrape Google Play too?

Not with this actor. It covers Apple's App Store only.

Is it legal to scrape the App Store?

The actor collects only public data that anyone can see without logging in. Reviews can contain personal data such as usernames, so make sure you have a legitimate reason to collect it and follow the GDPR and other laws that apply to you. If you're not sure, ask a lawyer.
