## Pricing

from $0.70 / 1,000 apps

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

**App Store Scraper** collects **Apple App Store apps** from **search, app links, bundle ids, developers and top charts** and returns one row per app: **rating, number of ratings (overall and current version), price, version, first release and last update, "What's new", size, genre, age rating, minimum iOS, languages, description, screenshots, developer and website**. Switch on one option to add **customer reviews** with stars, title, text, app version and date.

**$0.001 per app, $0.00005 per review.** No Apple ID, no API key, no login, no start fee.

### What is App Store Scraper?

App store intelligence tools charge hundreds of dollars a month. This Actor uses Apple's own public iTunes Search API and review feeds and returns clean rows — for app store optimisation (ASO), competitor tracking, market research and review analysis — in any App Store country.

### What is in every row

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `title`, `appId`, `bundleId`, `url`, `genre`, `contentRating` | The app |
| `rating`, `ratingCount`, `ratingCurrentVersion`, `ratingCountCurrentVersion` | Ratings |
| `price`, `formattedPrice`, `free` | Price |
| `version`, `updatedAt`, `releasedAt`, `releaseNotes` | Release history |
| `sizeMb`, `minimumOsVersion`, `languages`, `supportedDevicesCount` | Technical details |
| `developer`, `developerWebsite`, `developerUrl` | Developer |
| Review rows: `rating`, `title`, `text`, `version`, `date`, `author` | With **Add reviews** on |

### How much does it cost?

| Event | Price |
|---|---|
| App | **$0.001** |
| Review (optional) | **$0.00005** |

- Apps below **Minimum app rating**: **$0**.
- Links that fail: **$0** (an error row says why).

#### Bulk export: what 50,000 rows actually cost

This Actor is built for bulk jobs — thousands of inputs in one run, or a daily schedule. There is **no
fee per run, no fee per page and no proxy charge**: you pay for the rows you keep.

| Job | This Actor | Most-used Actor in this category |
|---|---|---|
| 50,000 reviews | **$2.50** | $5 |
| 10,000 apps with details | **$10** | $34.50 + start fees |

Checked on the Apify Store on 23 September 2026 against the Actor with the most monthly users in this category
($0.0001 per review for the most-used reviews Actor; $0.00345 per app plus a start fee for the most-used app-details Actor). Some Actors here ask less per row — this table compares against the one buyers actually use most.

### How to use it in three steps

1. Type **searches**, paste **app links / ids / bundle ids**, **developers** or pick a **top chart**.
2. Set **Country** and switch on **Add reviews** if you need them.
3. Press **Start**, then download JSON, CSV or Excel — or call the run from the API, n8n, Make, Zapier or an AI agent.

### Use cases

#### ASO and keyword research

Who ranks for your keywords in each country, with ratings and ratings counts.

#### Competitor tracking

#### Review analysis

#### Market research

### Integrations

Every run is available through the Apify API, and the Actor works out of the box with n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, LangChain and the Apify MCP server.

### FAQ

**Do I need an Apple ID?** No.

**Why at most 500 reviews per app?** Apple's public review feed stops at 10 pages of 50 per country. Run several countries for more.

**Other countries?** Set **Country** — us, gb, id, de, jp…

**Downloads or revenue?** Apple does not publish them; ratings count is the usual proxy.

**Is this legal?** The Actor reads Apple's public data feeds. Reviewer nicknames are personal data — handle them responsibly.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
