App Store Publisher Data — Company Apps, Ratings & Categories 📱

foXLabs digital-footprint series: Shopify stores · Company hiring signals · Company enrichment · GitHub trending

🎉 Find every iOS app a company publishes — with ratings, review counts, category, price, version history, size and supported languages. Search by company name, get the publisher's whole portfolio. No key, no login. Built for competitive analysis, mobile-market research, and anyone profiling a company's product surface.

🔍 What is this Actor — and when should you use it?

The Apple App Store is a public record of what companies ship to mobile. This Actor searches it by company or app name and returns one clean row per app: the publishing entity, app identity, category, price, rating and review count, release and update dates, current version, file size, minimum OS and supported languages.

Use it when you need: a competitor's full app portfolio; rating and review trends across a set of apps; category positioning for a market; or evidence of a company's mobile investment for account scoring.

Use something else when: you want Android — this Actor covers the Apple App Store. For company firmographics rather than apps, use Company Enrichment.

🤖 Use with AI agents

Already on the Apify MCP server? Ask for this Actor by name: foxlabs/app-store-publisher-data.

Your agent can pay for its own runs. This Actor is pay-per-event with agentic payments, so an agent can discover it, run it and settle the bill over x402 (USDC on Base) or Skyfire — no Apify account or API token of its own. Billing is the same either way: per delivered app row.

Otherwise paste this into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP-enabled assistant:

Run the Apify actor foxlabs/app-store-publisher-data with
{"queries":["Revolut","Monzo"],"country":"gb","maxResultsPerQuery":25}
and compare their ratings and review counts.

❓ FAQ

Do I need an Apple developer account? No. This Actor reads the public store listing — no account, key or login.

Does it cover Google Play? No — Apple App Store only.

Why do ratings differ between runs? Ratings are per storefront. Set country to the market you care about; us is the default.

Does it return reviews? No — the rating average and review count, not individual reviews.

Can I search by publisher instead of app name? Yes — a company name returns that publisher's apps; companyName on each row shows the legal entity.

Is the description the full text? Yes, plus releaseNotes for the latest version.

🐛 Troubleshooting

A company returns unrelated apps. Store search matches text broadly. Filter the output by companyName to keep only that publisher's apps.

An app is missing. It may not be published on the storefront you selected — try the company's home market via country.

Price shows 0. Free apps report zero; in-app purchase pricing is not part of the listing data.

⚠️ Trademark

Apple and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc. This Actor is an independent tool, is not affiliated with or endorsed by Apple, and reads only publicly published store listings. App and company names belong to their owners.

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape this data?

App Store listings are published so users can evaluate apps before installing. The rows this Actor returns are product listings and publisher identity — commercial information, not personal data. Listing text and imagery remain the publisher's copyright. You remain responsible for how you use the output.
