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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 Reviews Scraper — Apple App Reviews & Ratings Pull user reviews and star ratings straight from the Apple App Store. Give the Actor any set of app IDs or App Store URLs and it returns **every review Apple exposes** — title, full text, rating, author, app version, helpful-votes, date and a direct link — for any country storefront. Public Apple feeds, so **no login and no API key**. Perfect for **product feedback analysis, review monitoring, competitor research, sentiment datasets, and release-quality tracking**. ### What you get per review | Field | Notes | |---|---| | `rating` | 1–5 stars. | | `title`, `text` | Review headline and full body. | | `userName` | Reviewer's nickname. | | `appVersion` | App version the review was left on — track quality across releases. | | `voteCount`, `voteSum` | How many found the review helpful. | | `updated` | Review date (ISO 8601). | | `reviewUrl` | Direct link to the review. | | `appName`, `developer`, `appAverageRating` | App context (when *Include app metadata* is on). | | `appId`, `country` | Which app and storefront the review came from. | ### Input ```json { "appIds": ["324684580", "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id310633997"], "country": "us", "sortBy": "mostRecent", "maxReviewsPerApp": 0 } ```` - **appIds** — numeric app IDs or full App Store URLs, one per line. - **country** — storefront code (`us`, `gb`, `de`, `fr`, `jp`, `br`, …). Reviews are per-country. - **sortBy** — `mostRecent` or `mostHelpful`. - **maxReviewsPerApp** — cap per app (`0` = all Apple exposes, ~500 per country). - **includeAppMeta** — attach app name / developer / overall rating to each review. - **maxConcurrency** — apps processed in parallel. - **proxyConfiguration** — optional; only needed if you hit rate limits. ### Output (one row per review) ```json { "appId": "324684580", "appName": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts", "country": "us", "reviewId": "14283108814", "userName": "musiclover42", "title": "Great app", "text": "Been using it for years…", "rating": 5, "appVersion": "9.1.62", "voteCount": 3, "updated": "2026-07-09T11:40:19-07:00", "reviewUrl": "https://itunes.apple.com/us/review?id=324684580" } ``` ### FAQ **Do I need an API key or Apple account?** No. The Actor reads Apple's public review feeds, so there's no login, no API key and no Apple Developer account required — just add app IDs or App Store URLs and run. **How many reviews can I get per app?** Apple's public feed exposes up to ~500 recent reviews per app per country. Set `maxReviewsPerApp` (0 = all Apple exposes), and run across several `country` storefronts to go deeper on a popular app. **Is scraping the Apple App Store legal?** The Actor collects only publicly available review data from the [Apple App Store](https://www.apple.com/app-store/) public feeds — the same content any visitor sees. Public data is generally collectible; use it in line with Apple's terms and applicable law. **Does it collect emails or reviewer contact info?** No. It captures the reviewer's nickname, rating, title, text, app version and helpful-votes, but no private contact details such as emails. **What's the output format?** One structured JSON row per review, optionally enriched with app metadata (name, developer, overall rating). Export as JSON, CSV or Excel for feedback analysis. ### Related Actors Track product and brand sentiment across platforms with these companions: - [Trustpilot Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/trustpilot-reviews-scraper) — collect ratings, text and company replies from Trustpilot. - [Google Maps Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/google-maps-reviews) — pull reviewer names, ratings and text from Google Maps places. - [Google Maps Scraper](https://apify.com/hipersoft/google-maps-scraper) — find local businesses by keyword and location for market research. - [Website Content Crawler](https://apify.com/hipersoft/website-content-crawler) — extract clean page text for building review or NLP datasets. ### Notes Apple's public review feed exposes up to ~500 recent reviews per app **per country** — to go deeper on a popular app, run it across several `country` storefronts. Only publicly available review data is collected. # Actor input Schema ## `appIds` (type: `array`): Apple App Store app IDs (e.g. "324684580") or full app URLs (e.g. "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify/id324684580"). One per line. ## `appUrls` (type: `array`): Alternative to "App IDs": a request list of {"url": "..."} objects. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter App Store country code — reviews are per-storefront (e.g. us, gb, de, fr, jp, br). ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Review order. ## `maxReviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`): Cap reviews fetched per app (0 = all Apple exposes, up to ~500 per country). ## `includeAppMeta` (type: `boolean`): Look up the app name, developer and overall rating and attach them to each review. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many apps to process in parallel. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apple now empties the reviews RSS for datacenter IPs, so a RESIDENTIAL proxy is enabled by default (required to get reviews). App metadata works without it. ## Actor input object example ```json { "appIds": [ "324684580" ], "country": "us", "sortBy": "mostRecent", "maxReviewsPerApp": 0, "includeAppMeta": true, "maxConcurrency": 5, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": [ "RESIDENTIAL" ] } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
