How many reviews can I get per app?

Apple caps its public review feed at 500 reviews per app, per country (10 pages × 50). That is a limit of Apple's feed, not of this Actor.

To get more reviews, add more countries rather than raising maxReviews. An app with 500 US reviews may have several thousand across us, gb, ca, au, de, fr, br, in and so on.

Frequently asked questions

Does this need a proxy? Not usually. Apple's feed is public and unauthenticated, so the Actor runs without proxies by default and keeps your cost down. Apple does occasionally serve an empty response to shared datacenter IPs; the Actor automatically retries once, which clears it in practice.

Why did a country return zero reviews? Usually because that storefront genuinely has none — a small app may only have reviews in its home market. The Actor retries once before believing an empty response, then skips that storefront and carries on. A handful of storefronts can stay empty from datacenter IPs even when they have reviews; if a specific country matters to you, add others alongside it rather than relying on it alone.

What happens if nothing is found at all? The run fails with a clear message instead of quietly finishing with an empty dataset, so you are never left paying for a run that silently returned nothing.

Can I get reviews older than the 500 most recent? Not from Apple's public feed. Nobody can — that data is not exposed. Run the Actor on a schedule to build history going forward.

Does it work for Mac App Store apps? Yes, if the app has a numeric App Store ID and a public review feed.

Is scraping App Store reviews legal? This Actor reads a public, unauthenticated feed that Apple publishes for syndication. It collects no personal data beyond the public display name attached to each review. As always, you are responsible for how you use the output — check GDPR/CCPA obligations if you store it.

How is it priced? Pay per review returned. You are charged only for reviews actually delivered to your dataset, and the run stops cleanly when it reaches your spending limit.

Limitations

• 500 reviews per app per country — Apple's cap, not ours
• Review text is returned exactly as written, including other languages
• Apple's feed updates with a short delay; brand-new reviews may take a few hours
• voteSum / voteCount are often 0 — Apple no longer populates them consistently
