App Store App Data API

App Store App Data API that returns the public store facts of any iPhone, iPad or Mac app: rating, rating count, price, version, release and update dates, genre, age rating, size, languages, icon and screenshots, one clean row per app. Give it App Store ids, bundle ids, App Store URLs, a developer, or a top chart (top free / top paid), pick a country, and get the data back in seconds.

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, call it from the Apify API, schedule it daily to track ratings, prices and updates, or let an AI agent use it through MCP.

No login, no Apple account, no API key, no browser. The Actor calls Apple's documented iTunes Lookup API (itunes.apple.com/lookup) and Apple's RSS marketing feeds for top charts (rss.marketingtools.apple.com), both allowed by their robots.txt. Up to 100 apps are fetched per call. The prefilled input (6 apps) finishes in about 4 seconds.

Input example:

{
  "appIds": ["310633997", "com.duolingo.DuolingoMobile", "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/chatgpt/id6448311069"],

Input fields

Field	Default	What it does
appIds	6 popular apps (prefilled)	Numeric ids (310633997 or id310633997), bundle ids (net.whatsapp.WhatsApp) or App Store URLs, one per line. A developer URL pasted here is treated as a developer.

A real record from a run on 2026-10-13. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists apps saved, ids and bundle ids not found in that country, inputs that were not valid, each developer and chart read, and any URL skipped because of robots.txt.

How much does it cost to get App Store app data?

$1.50 per 1,000 apps. You pay only for apps saved to the dataset. Apps that are not found cost nothing, and there is no start fee.

You get	You pay
6 apps (prefilled input)	$0.009
100 apps (e.g. the US top 100 free)	$0.15
1,000 apps	$1.50
10,000 apps	$15

Set maxItems to cap a run. Apify's free plan credit covers a few thousand apps a month.

How to track App Store apps every day

Create a schedule in Apify (e.g. every morning) with your competitor apps, or with {"chart": "top-free", "limit": 100} for your market. Each run gives today's rating, rating count, price, version and last update, plus chart positions; compare runs to see who shipped an update, changed price or climbed the chart. Send the rows to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations.

Use the App Store App Data API with AI agents (MCP)

Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can call this Actor through the official Apify MCP server. Add NORESPI/app-store-apps to your Apify MCP configuration, then ask things like "compare the rating, price and last update of Duolingo, Babbel and Busuu on the French App Store" or "what are today's top 25 paid apps in the UK and what do they cost?".

Use cases

• Competitor tracking (ASO): rating, rating count, version and update dates of your competitors, every day.
• Chart monitoring: who is in the top free / top paid 100 of each country today, with full details.
• Pricing research: local price and currency of paid apps across countries.
• App directories and comparison sites: fresh title, icon, genre, rating, price and screenshots per country.
• Publisher research: a developer's whole App Store catalogue in one call.
• Market and investor screening: rating volume as a proxy for an app's user base.

Limits (stated up front)

• No keyword search. Apple's robots.txt disallows itunes.apple.com/search, so you must give ids, bundle ids, URLs, developers or charts.
• No user reviews. Apple's customer review feed (itunes.apple.com/<country>/rss/customerreviews/…) is disallowed by robots.txt. You get rating averages and counts, not review text.
• No download counts and no in-app purchase list. Apple does not publish them in the lookup API.
• Two charts only: top-free and top-paid, up to 100 apps each, as published by Apple's RSS marketing feed. No top-grossing, no per-genre charts.
• One country per run for appIds and developerIds (the country field). Each top chart uses its own country. An app not sold in that country is reported as not found.
• Developer lookups return up to 200 apps per developer.
• Apple caps its lookup API at roughly 20 calls a minute. The Actor makes one call at a time, at least 3 seconds apart, with 100 apps per call, so 1,000 app ids take about 30 seconds. On a 403 or repeated 429 it stops instead of pushing harder. It does not use proxies to get around limits.

Privacy

App-level store facts only. The seller website that Apple's API returns is not output. The description and release-notes excerpts have e-mails, phone numbers, links and @handles removed. No user reviews and no reviewer names. developer and sellerName are the publisher names exactly as Apple displays them on the App Store; for apps published by an individual, that is the name the individual chose to publish under.

FAQ

Do I need an Apple account or API key?

No. Apple's lookup API and RSS feeds are public.

Can I search the App Store by keyword?

No. Apple's robots.txt disallows the search endpoint and this Actor respects it. Give ids, bundle ids, URLs, developers or a top chart.

How do I find an app's id?

It is the number after id in the App Store URL: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997 → 310633997. You can paste the whole URL.

Can I get prices in another currency?

Yes. Set country (e.g. gb, de, jp): Apple returns the local price, currency and store text for that country.

Does it return Mac apps?

Yes, when you give a Mac app's id or bundle id, or a developer that publishes Mac apps (kind is mac-software).

Can I export App Store data to CSV, Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes, from the Output tab, the API, or the Google Sheets integration.

Is this Actor affiliated with Apple or the App Store?

No, not affiliated with Apple Inc. It is an independent tool that reads Apple's public lookup API and RSS feeds. App Store is a trademark of Apple Inc.
