Hi, Do you use official API by App Store or do you crawl the data from the website? I am asking because if you crawl data from the website, it only displays 10 reviews. Here is for example: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-2/id880047117?see-all=reviews

Hey there,

Thank you very much for using our actor. Unfortunately, the App Store doesn't provide such an official API to use. We are using APIs, yes, but they are not official. However, if you need review data, you can use our actor to get them all. We are getting the data directly from Apple. Therefore, you can use this actor to retrieve all.

Please let me know if there is anything that I can assist you with. Best

I found this issue https://console.apify.com/organization/WmjZYja9mw54WbZpW/actors/1juBl6QedWJ3bwbgZ/issues/gmUsxEcZgx7hhYCOn. Is it correct that we still only can get max 500 reviews?

I see. Is it possible to include this non-official API in the result? This is a necessary information for our customer where we get the reviews from.

Hey again,

I am not sure what you meant by including the non-official API in the result. Do you mean adding 10 reviews per output object?

You said you use APIs, but not official ones. What APIs do you use to get the reviews if you don't use the official APIs? For example, this page https://apps.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-2/id880047117?see-all=reviews. Officially, only 10 reviews are displayed on the page. How can you get more reviews (up to 500)?

Hey again,

Sorry, that was my misunderstanding. Unfortunately, that is not possible. We want to keep our sources private as much as possible. The only information that I can provide is that all the information that we are retrieving into this actor is coming directly from the Apple and App Store. Since there is no proper and official API to get this data; we try to find the best endpoints and APIs as much as possible by reverse-engineering some applications and websites. Therefore, we do not disclose the sources.
