## 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

### What does App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper do?

**App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper** extracts the newest user reviews from **both the Apple App Store and Google Play in one run** and returns them in **one unified JSON schema**. Paste App Store URLs, Google Play URLs, numeric Apple IDs or Android package names, mix them freely, and get each review's star rating, title, text, date, app version, likes and developer reply.

It reads public review data only, so there is **no login, no cookies and no proxy** to set up. Use it as an **App Store reviews API** and **Google Play reviews API** alternative, through the Apify API, schedules, integrations or AI agents.

### Why use this app review scraper?

- 📱 **Both stores, one dataset.** iOS and Android reviews arrive with the same fields, so you don't need two scrapers or two parsers.
- ⭐ **Star filters.** Set `maxRating` to 2 to collect only complaints, or `minRating` to 4 for testimonials.
- 📊 **Free rating summary.** A per-app average rating and star distribution is saved to the key-value store as `SUMMARY` at no extra charge.
- 💸 **Pay per review.** No start fee and no monthly rental. Failed inputs are free.
- 🤖 **Agent-ready.** Small, predictable JSON that LLMs and AI agents can use directly.

#### Use cases

- Track bugs and complaints after each release (set Max stars to 2)
- Compare your app's reviews with competitors on iOS and Android
- Feed reviews to an LLM for sentiment analysis and feature-request mining
- App Store Optimization (ASO), product research and voice-of-customer reports

### How to scrape App Store and Google Play reviews

1. Click **Try for free** or **Start** to open the Actor in Apify Console.
2. Add apps in **Apps**: App Store URLs, Google Play URLs, Apple IDs (for example `324684580`) or package names (for example `com.spotify.music`).
3. Set **Max reviews per app**, the **country**, the review **language** (Google Play) and an optional star filter.
4. Click **Start** and wait a few seconds.
5. Download the reviews as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read them through the Apify API.

### Input

| Field | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| `apps` | App Store URLs, Google Play URLs, numeric Apple IDs or Android package names. Mix both stores. |
| `maxReviewsPerApp` | Newest reviews first. Default 100. |
| `country` | Two-letter store region, for example `us`. |
| `language` | Review language for Google Play, for example `en` or `de`. |
| `minRating` / `maxRating` | Keep only reviews within this star range. |

Example input from a real run:

```json
{
  "apps": [
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spotify-music-and-podcasts/id324684580",

  ],
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 20,
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "minRating": 1,
  "maxRating": 5
}
```

### Output example

Each review is one dataset item with these fields: `store`, `appId`, `appName`, `country`, `reviewId`, `userName`, `rating`, `title`, `text`, `date`, `appVersion`, `thumbsUp`, `replyText`, `replyDate`, `url`.

First results from a real run on 2026-10-16 (40 results in about 2 seconds):

### How much does it cost to scrape app reviews?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: **$0.00015 per review ($0.15 per 1,000 reviews)**, with **no start fee**. You pay only for reviews saved to the dataset, and failed inputs are free. For example, 10,000 reviews cost $1.50 in review fees.

The Apify Free plan includes monthly platform usage credits with no credit card required, which covers thousands of reviews at this price. Check the **Pricing** tab for the current rate.

### Use the app reviews scraper with AI agents and the API

This Actor is available as a tool through the Apify MCP server (`https://mcp.apify.com`), so AI agents in Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT or n8n can call it directly. You can also run it from the Apify API, the JavaScript or Python client, Make, Zapier or a scheduled task, and send results to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook.

### FAQ

#### How many reviews can I get?

Apple's public review feed exposes up to the **500 most recent reviews per country**. Google Play has no such cap. To collect more App Store reviews, run the same app for several countries.

#### Do I need proxies, cookies or an account on the stores?

No. The Actor reads public review data without logging in.

#### Can I get only negative reviews?

Yes. Set `maxRating` to 2 (or 1) to keep only low-star reviews.

#### Is it legal to scrape app reviews?

The Actor only reads publicly available reviews. Make sure your use complies with each store's terms and the data protection laws that apply to you, especially when handling reviewer names.

#### Something broke or a field is missing?

Open an issue on the **Issues** tab with the app and the input you used.
