## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## App Store Review Tracker — New Reviews & Ratings

Track new App Store customer reviews for any app — yours or a
competitor's. Get the rating, review text, author, app version, and date
the moment a new one posts, without checking the App Store by hand.

Built for ASO teams and product managers watching competitor sentiment,
and support teams catching new complaints or bug reports early.

### Input

```json
{
  "appIds": ["284882215"],
  "country": "us",
  "daysBack": 30,
  "maxResultsPerApp": 50
}
```

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `appIds` | array of strings | Numeric App Store IDs. Find it in the app's App Store URL: `apps.apple.com/us/app/name/id284882215` -> `"284882215"`. One lookup is billed per app. |
| `country` | string | Two-letter App Store storefront country code (e.g. `"us"`, `"gb"`, `"jp"`). Reviews are storefront-specific. Default `"us"`. |
| `daysBack` | number | Only return reviews posted within this many days of today. Default `30`, max `180`. |
| `maxResultsPerApp` | number | Max reviews to return per app, most recent first. Default `50`, max `200`. |

### Output

One record per review:

```json
{
  "appId": "284882215",
  "country": "us",
  "reviewId": "14417910167",
  "author": "dpretlowchapman",
  "rating": 2,
  "title": "I don't like it",
  "content": "I rarely see the post of my friends. Why the change?",
  "appVersion": "573.0.0",
  "updatedAt": "2026-08-12T02:13:11-07:00",
  "reviewUrl": "https://itunes.apple.com/us/review?id=284882215&type=Purple%20Software"
}
```

An app with no reviews in the requested window returns no items but is
still billed once for the lookup.

### How it works

Direct calls to Apple's official public [App Store customer reviews RSS
feed](https://itunes.apple.com/) (`itunes.apple.com/.../rss/customerreviews`),
the same feed that powers third-party ASO tools. No proxy, no key, no
scraping.

### Pricing note

Billed per **app checked**, not per review returned — one charge per app
whether it has 0 or 200 matching reviews.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "appIds": [
        "284882215"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("m_ctim/app-store-review-tracker").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "appIds": ["284882215"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("m_ctim/app-store-review-tracker").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "appIds": [
    "284882215"
  ]
}' |
apify call m_ctim/app-store-review-tracker --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,m_ctim/app-store-review-tracker"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
