iOS App Store Intelligence

Drop in iOS app IDs + country codes. Get back full app metadata, ratings, version history, languages, file size, screenshots, and computed signals (active-maintenance flag, ratings/day).

Pure scraper. Uses Apple's iTunes Lookup API. No login, no tokens, no Claude dependency.

What you get back per (app + country) combination

40+ fields including:

Category	Fields
Identity	app_name, bundle_id, seller_name, artist_name, track_view_url
Pricing	price, formatted_price, currency, is_free
Ratings	average_user_rating, user_rating_count, average_user_rating_current_version, user_rating_count_current_version, ratings_per_day_lifetime
Version	version, version_release_date, days_since_update, is_actively_maintained, release_notes
Genre	primary_genre, all_genres, content_advisory_rating
Localization	languages, supported_devices, minimum_os_version
Assets	artwork_url_512, screenshot_urls, ipad_screenshot_urls
Content	description, full release notes
Computed	age_days, days_since_update, is_actively_maintained, ratings_per_day_lifetime

Why this beats writing your own iTunes Lookup script

• Bulk-ready: pass 200 app IDs across 10 countries in one run.
• Computed signals: is_actively_maintained (last update < 90 days), ratings_per_day_lifetime (popularity velocity), is_free (clean boolean), file_size_mb (parsed, not bytes string).
• Dataset-native output: streams to Apify Dataset, export to CSV / JSON / Sheets.
• Per-country comparison: see how the same app's rating + pricing varies across markets.

Pricing

$0.10 per (app + country) combination. Failed lookups (404, missing in country) are not charged.

Use case	Apps	Countries	Cost
Single app global scan	1	10	$1.00
Competitive sweep	10	3	$3.00
Quarterly portfolio audit	50	5	$25.00

Compare to AppFigures at $239/mo, Sensor Tower starting $400/mo, Asodesk at $43/mo.

How to find your app ID

Open the app in the App Store, copy the URL. The ID is the numeric portion after /id:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580 becomes app ID 324684580.

Use cases

• App PMs: Track competitor rating velocity. The ratings_per_day_lifetime field surfaces fast-growing apps before headlines pick them up.
• ASO teams: Compare app metadata across countries to spot localization gaps.
• Mobile marketing: Find apps with is_actively_maintained = false to pitch as acquisition targets or rebuild opportunities.
• VCs: Due-diligence sentiment + version history check. The days_since_update flag surfaces abandoned products.
• Recruiters: Identify mobile app studios via seller_name + artist_id patterns.

Country codes (common)

us, gb, au, ca, de, fr, jp, kr, cn, in, br, mx, es, it, nl, se, no, dk, fi, nz

Full list: ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, lowercase.

What this actor does NOT do

• It does not scrape individual user review text. Apple deprecated the customer reviews RSS in 2025. Only metadata + aggregate ratings remain available.
• It does not scrape Google Play (different API, different actor needed).
• It does not perform sentiment analysis. Pair with our cold-email-rewriter actor or feed release_notes to Claude separately.
