Apple App Store Scraper

What does Apple App Store Scraper do?

Apple App Store Scraper allows you to extract data about apps and customer reviews from the Apple App Store: app name, developer, price, ratings, categories, descriptions, screenshots, supported devices, release information, customer reviews, and more.

You can search apps by keyword, retrieve specific apps by App Store ID or URL, or collect ranked apps from Apple App Store charts. Select an App Store storefront, optionally include available customer reviews, and export the results or access them through the Apify API.

About the Apple App Store

The Apple App Store is Apple's marketplace for iPhone and iPad applications. App listings contain useful public information about developers, categories, pricing, ratings, compatibility, releases, screenshots, and customer feedback.

Because of this, the App Store is a practical source for app discovery, competitor research, App Store optimization (ASO), product research, review analysis, and mobile market research.

Why scrape the Apple App Store?

• App discovery: find iPhone and iPad apps by keyword, category, or chart.
• Competitor research: compare competing apps, developers, positioning, prices, ratings, and releases.
• App Store optimization: analyze titles, categories, ratings, descriptions, screenshots, and other ASO data.
• Product research: identify user complaints, recurring issues, and requested features in available reviews.
• Review analysis: collect customer feedback for sentiment analysis or internal research in your own workflow.
• Market research: study app categories, pricing, publishers, compatibility, and release activity.
• Chart monitoring: track top free, paid, and grossing apps for a selected storefront.
• Lead generation: identify relevant app developers and publishers for targeted research or outreach.

Example Input

The Actor provides a straightforward input form where you can choose how to collect apps, select an App Store country, and optionally include customer reviews.

Example A: Search apps by keyword

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": [
    "fitness",
    "workout tracker"
  ],
  "limit": 20,
  "priceFilter": "all",
  "country": "us",
  "includeReviews": false
}

Example B: Get specific apps and include reviews

{
  "mode": "details",
  "appUrlsOrIds": [
    "587366035",
    "998411110"
  ],
  "country": "us",
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 25,
  "reviewSort": "mostRecent"
}

Example C: Scrape top charts

{
  "mode": "charts",
  "chartType": "top-free",
  "chartCategory": "all",
  "chartLimit": 20,
  "country": "us",
  "includeReviews": false
}

The Input form is divided into mode-specific and shared sections:

• Search apps uses Search keywords, Max apps per keyword, and Price filter.
• App details uses App IDs or URLs.
• Top charts uses Chart, Category, and Chart results.
• Storefront and Reviews are shared settings.

Only the fields that belong to the selected mode affect how apps are collected.

Output sample

The results will be wrapped into a dataset which you can find in the Storage tab. Note that the output is organized in a table for viewing convenience.

The Overview Dataset view provides a compact summary of collected apps, including app icons, names, developers, ratings, prices, and other essential information.

The Apps Dataset view contains additional app-level metadata for more detailed research and analysis.

The Reviews Dataset view displays each available customer review as its own row, alongside app-level information such as the app name and overall rating.

The Dataset provides the following views:

• Overview: one row per app with compact listing information.
• Apps: one row per app with additional app-level metadata.
• Reviews: one row per available customer review, created by expanding the nested reviews array.
• All fields: complete app objects, including the optional nested reviews[] data.

Each physical Dataset item represents one app. Reviews are not stored as separate physical Dataset items; they remain inside that app's reviews array.

How do I use Apple App Store Scraper?

Apple App Store Scraper is designed to help you collect app metadata and available App Store reviews even if you have no prior scraping experience. Follow these steps:

1. Choose Search apps, App details, or Top charts.
2. Enter search keywords, App Store IDs or URLs, or chart settings for the selected mode.
3. Select the App Store country used for app data, charts, and reviews.
4. Optionally enable customer reviews and choose the review limit and sort order.
5. Click Start and wait for the run to finish.
6. Open the Dataset and export the results in your preferred format.

Only settings corresponding to the selected mode affect how apps are collected. Storefront and review settings are shared by all three modes.

Features

• Keyword Search: search one or more keywords and collect up to 200 apps per keyword.
• App Details by ID or URL: retrieve exact listings using numeric IDs or full App Store URLs.
• Top Charts: collect Top Free, Top Paid, or Top Grossing apps.
• Chart Categories: choose All apps or one of the supported App Store categories in the Input form.
• Country Selection: use a two-letter storefront code for app data, charts, and reviews.
• Customer Reviews: optionally attach reviews returned by Apple's public feed to each app.
• Review Sorting: request Most recent or Most helpful reviews.
• Price Filtering: return all, free, or paid apps in Search apps mode.
• Multiple Apps per Run: search multiple keywords or look up multiple IDs and URLs.
• Rich App Metadata: collect ratings, pricing, releases, compatibility, media, developer data, and more.
• Structured Dataset Views: inspect Overview, Apps, Reviews, or the complete All fields output.
• Export and API Access: use Apify export formats, API endpoints, schedules, and platform integrations.

Apple's public review feed can expose up to 500 available reviews per app and storefront. This is an upper limit, not a guarantee that every app or storefront will return that many reviews.

Reviews and Apple feed limitations

Reviews are collected from Apple's publicly available review feed. Availability depends on the selected storefront and Apple's current response. Some apps may temporarily return no reviews even when their App Store page displays ratings or review activity, and the same behavior can affect other tools that use this public feed.

The Actor retries temporarily empty responses up to three total attempts per page, then continues. Apps are still returned when reviews are unavailable, and the selected storefront is never changed automatically.

The public feed exposes up to 50 reviews per page and up to ten pages for the selected app, storefront, and sort order. Pagination can stop earlier when Apple returns an empty page, omits a valid next-page link, repeats review IDs, or reports fewer available reviews.

How much does Apple App Store Scraper cost?

Apple App Store Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing with three event types: Actor start, collected app, and collected customer review. You pay once when the Actor starts and for each app collected. Review charges apply only when customer reviews are included and successfully collected. Apps without available reviews do not generate review charges.

Event	Free	Starter	Scale	Business
1,000 apps	$1.20	$1.00	$0.80	$0.60
1,000 reviews	$0.12	$0.10	$0.08	$0.06
Actor start	$0.0012	$0.0010	$0.0008	$0.0006

App and review prices are listed per 1,000 collected results, while the Actor start price applies once per run.

Apify provides you with $5 in free usage credits every month on the Apify Free plan, allowing you to collect up to approximately 4,100 apps or 40,000 customer reviews for free using those credits.

For regular data collection, consider upgrading to the $29/month Starter plan, which can get you up to approximately 28,000 apps or 280,000 customer reviews every month.

The exact number of results depends on whether you collect app data only or include customer reviews.

Starter plan examples

• 1 app with 100 reviews: $0.0010 Actor start + $0.0010 app + $0.0100 reviews = $0.0120
• 100 apps without reviews: $0.0010 Actor start + $0.1000 apps = $0.1010
• 180 apps with 12,667 reviews: $0.0010 Actor start + $0.1800 apps + $1.2667 reviews = $1.4477

You can set a maximum cost per run in Apify Console to control spending.
