App Store Search & App Details Scraper — extract iOS app data

Search the App Store by keyword and get structured data for every matching app: developer, star rating, rating count, price, category, size, minimum iOS version, description and screenshots.

Works three ways — by search term, by App Store ID, or by bundle ID — across any of Apple's 175 country storefronts. Built on Apple's own public endpoints: no login, no cookies, no proxies.

What this App Store scraper does

• Search the App Store for any keyword and return up to 200 apps per term, per country
• Look up specific apps by App Store URL, numeric ID, or bundle ID
• Returns ratings and rating counts — the best public proxy for an app's install base
• Returns the full App Store description, the primary source for ASO keyword research
• Compares the same app across countries, where price, rating and availability all differ
• Covers iPhone, iPad and Mac apps

How many apps can I get?

Apple caps search at 200 results per term, per country. That is Apple's limit, not this Actor's — asking for 500 returns the same 200.

To get more coverage, add more search terms and more countries rather than raising resultsPerTerm. Ten terms across five countries is 10,000 potential rows.

Looking apps up by ID has no such cap: IDs are fetched in batches, so a thousand IDs costs a fraction of a thousand searches.

Frequently asked questions

Does this need a proxy? No. Apple's search and lookup endpoints are public and unauthenticated.

Is the rating count the number of downloads? No — Apple does not publish download counts anywhere. ratingCount is the closest public proxy, and it is what analytics vendors base their estimates on.

Why does the same app show a different rating in each country? Because ratings are genuinely per-storefront. That is exactly why country is on every row.

Can I get the app's revenue or download numbers? No. Apple does not expose them publicly, and any tool claiming otherwise is modelling, not measuring.

Can I get reviews too? Yes — that is a separate Actor, App Store Reviews Scraper, which returns the full review text, star rating and app version per review.

Is this legal? It reads public, unauthenticated endpoints Apple publishes for app discovery, and collects no personal data. You remain responsible for how you use the output.

Limitations

• 200 results per search term per country (Apple's cap)
• No download or revenue figures — Apple does not publish them
• releaseNotes and description are returned in the storefront's language
• In-app purchase prices are not included; price is the up-front cost only
