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.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.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/platform/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 Scraper Scrapes Apple App Store data for app discovery, competitor tracking, ASO research, and market analysis. ### Features - Search apps by keyword - Get full metadata for a specific app - List top free, paid, and grossing apps - Filter results by country, language, device type, and genre - Collect pricing, ratings, screenshots, release notes, and store links ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | string | `search` | Operation: `search`, `details`, or `top` | | `term` | string | - | Search keyword for `search` mode | | `appId` | number | - | App Store track ID for `details` mode | | `bundleId` | string | - | Bundle ID for `details` mode | | `country` | string | `us` | Storefront country code | | `lang` | string | `en_us` | Result language | | `entity` | string | `software` | App type: iPhone, iPad, or Mac | | `chart` | string | `top-free` | Chart type for `top` mode | | `genreId` | number | - | App Store genre ID | | `maxItems` | number | per mode | Maximum number of records | ### Examples #### Search apps ```json { "mode": "search", "term": "fitness tracker", "country": "us", "maxItems": 20 } ```` #### Get app details ```json { "mode": "details", "bundleId": "com.spotify.client", "country": "us" } ``` #### Top chart ```json { "mode": "top", "chart": "top-free", "country": "us", "maxItems": 50 } ``` ### Output Each dataset item contains app data such as: - App ID, name, bundle ID, seller, and App Store URL - Price, formatted price, currency, and free/paid status - Genre, rating, rating count, age rating, and version - Release dates, release notes, description, and supported languages - Icon, screenshots, chart rank, selected mode, and scrape timestamp # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What to do: search apps, get one app's details, or list top charts. ## `term` (type: `string`): Keyword to search for. Required when mode is 'search'. ## `appId` (type: `integer`): Numeric App Store track id. For 'details' mode use this or Bundle ID. Find it in the URL: apps.apple.com/app/id. ## `bundleId` (type: `string`): App bundle id, e.g. com.spotify.client. Alternative to App ID for 'details' mode. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter storefront country code (us, tr, gb, de, ...). Pricing, charts and availability are region-specific. ## `lang` (type: `string`): Result language for search, e.g. en\_us, tr\_tr. ## `entity` (type: `string`): Which kind of app to search/return. ## `chart` (type: `string`): Which top chart to fetch. Only used when mode is 'top'. ## `genreId` (type: `integer`): Optional App Store genre/category id to scope the chart, e.g. 6014 = Games, 6017 = Education, 6007 = Productivity. Leave empty for all categories. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of records to return. Search/top cap at 200 (Apple limit). Leave empty for the per-mode default. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional proxy. Apple rate-limits per IP; enable this for heavy use (many searches / large charts) so the Actor can rotate IPs. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "search", "term": "habit tracker", "appId": 324684580, "bundleId": "com.spotify.client", "country": "us", "lang": "en_us", "entity": "software", "chart": "top-free", "genreId": 6014, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): All records produced by the selected mode. # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("muzafferkadir/app-store-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
