## What's an Apify Actor?

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.

# README

## App Store Reviews Scraper — Fast & Reliable

Extract **Apple App Store reviews** for any iOS/macOS app across **175 country storefronts** — as clean, structured JSON. Built directly on Apple's own public feeds, so it never breaks the way headless-browser scrapers do.

### What you get per review

```json
{
    "review_id": "12345678901",
    "title": "Love this app",
    "text": "Been using it daily for a year...",
    "rating": 5,
    "author": "nickname123",
    "app_version": "382.0",
    "date": "2026-07-15T09:12:44-07:00",
    "vote_sum": 3,
    "vote_count": 4,
    "country": "us",
    "app_id": "389801252",
    "app_name": "Instagram"
}
````

### Why this scraper

- ✅ **Never breaks** — uses Apple's official public review feeds, not fragile UI scraping
- ✅ **Multi-country in one run** — pass `["us", "gb", "de", "tr", "jp"]` and get each storefront's reviews
- ✅ **Multi-app in one run** — track your whole portfolio or your competitors' apps
- ✅ **Fast & cheap** — no browser, no proxies, no login
- ✅ **Sort by recency or helpfulness**

### Use cases

- **Product teams**: monitor sentiment after each release, catch bug complaints early
- **ASO & mobile marketing**: mine competitor reviews for feature gaps and keywords
- **AI & NLP pipelines**: feed structured review text into sentiment/LLM analysis
- **Agencies**: automated weekly review reports for clients

### Input example

```json
{
    "appIds": ["389801252", "310633997"],
    "countries": ["us", "gb"],
    "sort": "mostrecent",
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 500
}
```

### Limits

Apple's feeds expose up to ~500 reviews per app, per country, per sort order (10 pages × 50). Run on a schedule to build a complete historical dataset over time.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** The actor reads Apple's publicly available review feeds — the same data anyone sees on the App Store. No login, no private data.

**Google Play too?** This actor is App Store-only by design — one tool, done well. A companion Google Play actor is on the roadmap.

# Actor input Schema
