Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## App Store & Google Play Data Scraper Aggregate non-personal app metadata from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store into one normalized Apify dataset for ASO, app-market research, competitor tracking, and product intelligence. ### What It Extracts - App name, app ID, bundle ID/package name, developer company/studio name, category, price, currency, version, content rating, release date, update date, icon, screenshots, store URL, and redacted description. - Aggregate ratings only: rating value, rating count, and Google Play rating histogram when available. - Google Play install range when available. This Actor does not output individual reviews, reviewer names, reviewer handles, developer emails, phone numbers, or contact fields. ### Sources - Apple App Store via the official public iTunes Search and Lookup APIs. - Google Play Store public app pages via app-level metadata fetching. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | `sources` | array | `app_store`, `google_play`, or both. | | `searchQueries` | array | Keywords to search across selected stores. | | `appIds` | array | Apple numeric app IDs or bundle IDs. | | `packageNames` | array | Google Play package names or app URLs. | | `country` | string | Store country/region code, default `us`. | | `language` | string | Language code, default `en`. | | `includeRatingsSummary` | boolean | Include aggregate ratings only. | | `maxResults` | integer | Maximum app records across all selected sources. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Recommended for Google Play; Apple API does not need proxy. | ### Sample Output ```json { "source": "google_play", "query": "whatsapp", "appId": "com.whatsapp", "bundleId": "com.whatsapp", "appName": "WhatsApp Messenger", "developer": "WhatsApp LLC", "category": "Communication", "price": 0, "currency": "USD", "ratingValue": 4.3, "ratingCount": 200000000, "ratingHistogram": { "oneStar": 1000000, "twoStar": 500000, "threeStar": 900000, "fourStar": 3000000, "fiveStar": 15000000 }, "installRange": "5,000,000,000+", "version": "Varies with device", "contentRating": "Everyone", "releaseDate": "2010-10-18", "lastUpdated": "2026-06-01T00:00:00.000Z", "description": "Simple. Reliable. Private messaging...", "iconUrl": "https://...", "screenshots": ["https://..."], "appUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp", "country": "us", "scrapedAt": "2026-06-14T00:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Use Cases - ASO keyword and competitor research. - App-market intelligence and category monitoring. - Pricing, version, and update tracking. - Product benchmarking across Apple App Store and Google Play. - Portfolio monitoring for publishers, agencies, and investors. ### Pricing This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. | Event | When charged | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | `app-scraped` | One clean non-personal app metadata record saved | $0.001 | Charges are made only after a clean app record is pushed to the dataset. ### Responsible Use This Actor is intended for lawful collection of publicly available information only.
