App Store Scraper — Apps, Details & Reviews (iOS / iPadOS / macOS)

Scrape the Apple App Store in one run: search apps by keyword, pull full app details (rating, price, size, developer, version, screenshots, description), and extract customer reviews across 50+ country stores. Everything comes from Apple's official iTunes endpoints — no API key, no headless browser, no proxies.

Why this one

Most App Store actors do one thing — usually reviews only. This one covers the whole workflow in a single run and returns clean, flat records ready for a spreadsheet, a database, or an LLM:

• Search → find every app matching a keyword (iTunes Search API).
• Details → 40+ fields of metadata for any app ID or App Store URL (iTunes Lookup API).
• Reviews → up to the ~500 newest customer reviews per app, per country (Apple RSS).

Because it uses Apple's own endpoints, runs are fast, cheap, and reliable.

What it does

• Search the iPhone, iPad, or Mac catalog with multiple keywords at once.
• Look up specific apps by numeric ID or App Store URL.
• Any country store (US, GB, AE, IN, DE, …) — ratings and reviews are per-country.
• Optional review scraping with most-recent or most-helpful sort.
• Deduplicates apps found via both search and direct lookup.
• Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull via the Apify API.

Common uses

• ASO (App Store Optimization) — track keyword rankings, ratings, and competitors.
• Review monitoring — schedule a run per app and feed new reviews into support or sentiment tooling.
• Market research — compare category leaders across countries.
• LLM / RAG — pipe review text into summaries, theme extraction, or a feedback digest.

Notes

• Apple's public reviews RSS returns roughly the 500 newest reviews per app per country store — for deeper history, run the same app across multiple country stores.
• Ratings, prices, and reviews differ by country; set it deliberately.
• This Actor reads only Apple's public iTunes endpoints.
