App Store Scraper — Apps, Ratings & Reviews by keyword

This App Store scraper turns Apple's App Store into clean, spreadsheet-ready app data — search by keyword in any country storefront and get one flat row per app: name, developer, bundle id, category, price, average rating, rating count, content rating, version, release date, App Store URL, icon, and a trimmed description. Optionally attach the most-recent customer reviews to every app. Straight from the official Apple iTunes Search API, no API key, no anti-bot, no proxies.

Built for ASO specialists, indie & studio developers, product managers, and market researchers who need App Store catalog data and review signals as rows they can sort, filter, and export to CSV, JSON, or Excel.

What does it do?

You give it one or more search terms (e.g. photo editor, habit tracker, budget) and a country storefront. It queries Apple's public iTunes Search API for each term, merges and dedupes the results by app, and flattens every record into a clean row. Turn Include reviews on and it also pulls each app's most-recent reviews (rating, title, body, author, app version) from Apple's public RSS review feed and attaches them as a reviews array on the app row — so one dataset gives you both the catalog and the voice-of-customer signal.

Search either the iPhone / universal catalog (software) or the iPad catalog (iPadSoftware).

Why use it / who's it for

• ASO & keyword research — see exactly which apps rank for a keyword in a storefront, with their ratings and rating volume, to size the competition and find gaps.
• Competitor tracking — monitor a rival's version, release cadence, price, rating trajectory, and what users are actually saying in fresh reviews.
• Market & category research — pull a whole keyword's worth of apps to map pricing models (free vs paid), category mix, and rating distribution.
• Indie & studio developers — benchmark your app against the top results for your keywords, storefront by storefront.
• Review mining — collect recent reviews across a set of apps for sentiment, feature requests, and complaint themes.
• No API key, no anti-bot, no proxies — public Apple data, runs fine on datacenter IPs.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? The official Apple iTunes Search API and Apple's public customer-reviews RSS feed — the same endpoints that power App Store search. Public data, no API key.

How fresh is it? Live at run time. Ratings, versions, and prices reflect the App Store storefront at the moment of the run. Re-run periodically to track changes.

Why do rating counts / prices differ by country? They're storefront-specific. Set country to the market you care about, and run per-country for a global picture.

How many apps can I get per keyword? Apple's search returns up to ~200 results per term. Add more searchTerms (and long-tail variants) to widen coverage, up to your maxItems.

Why do some apps have no reviews? Apple's public review feed only exposes recent reviews per storefront, and some apps (or storefronts) have none — those rows come back with an empty reviews array. Review fetching never fails the run.

Is this legal? It reads publicly available Apple App Store data via Apple's own public endpoints — no login, no paywall bypass. Follow Apple's terms and applicable laws when you use the data.

Can I export to CSV or Google Sheets? Yes — CSV, JSON, or Excel from the Output tab, or sync to Google Sheets via Make, n8n, or Zapier.
