This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

## App Store Reviews Scraper: iOS Reviews and Ratings for Any App

Scrape **Apple App Store reviews** and app ratings for any app, in any country, without logging in. Get each review's star rating, title, text, app version, date and helpful votes, plus the app's average rating and rating count.

### What it does

- Reads Apple's public reviews feed: up to **500 of the latest reviews per app in each country** (Apple's own limit).
- Add several countries to collect more: each country's App Store has its own reviews.
- One **app details** row per app and country: name, developer, category, price, average rating, number of ratings, current version, release dates and description.
- Find apps by **App Store ID**, **app URL** or **search term**.
- Filter by star rating (for example 1 and 2 stars for complaints) and by date.

### Who it's for

- **Product and UX teams** tracking what users love and hate after each release.
- **Competitor research**: compare ratings and complaints across rival apps and countries.
- **Agencies and analysts** building sentiment dashboards or feeding reviews into AI summaries.

### Input

| Field | What to enter |
| --- | --- |
| Apps | App IDs (`284882215`) or URLs (`https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/facebook/id284882215`) |
| Or search for apps | Optional search terms, e.g. `budgeting app` |
| Countries | Two-letter codes, e.g. `us`, `gb`, `de` |
| Maximum reviews per app and country | Up to 500 |
| Sort reviews by | Most recent or most helpful |
| Minimum / maximum star rating | e.g. 1 to 2 for negative reviews |
| Reviews since | Only reviews on or after a date |

```json
{ "apps": ["284882215"], "countries": ["us", "gb"], "maxReviewsPerCountry": 200, "maxRating": 2 }
```

### Output

Review rows:

```json
{
  "type": "review", "appId": "123456789", "appName": "Example App", "country": "us",
  "reviewId": "11223344556", "rating": 2, "title": "Keeps crashing", "text": "Since the last update...",
  "author": "jane_d", "appVersion": "490.0", "date": "2026-10-20T08:15:00-07:00", "helpfulVotes": 3, "totalVotes": 5
}
```

App rows (`"type": "app"`) carry `averageRating`, `ratingCount`, `version`, `developer`, `category`, `price` and more.

### Pricing

| Event | When it is charged | Price per 1,000 (Free / Bronze / Silver / Gold plan) |
| --- | --- | --- |
| App checked | Each app and country (the app details row and reading its reviews, once per started 1.5 MB downloaded), and each search term. Also charged when an app is not found. | $2 on every plan |
| Review scraped | Each review returned in the dataset. | $0.30 / $0.27 / $0.25 / $0.22 |

Example: 3 apps in 2 countries with 500 reviews each on the Free plan costs about 6 × $0.002 + 3,000 × $0.0003 = $0.91.

### Notes and limits

- Apple's feed holds the latest ~500 reviews per app and country. Older reviews are not available from Apple.
- Ratings without a written review are counted in `ratingCount` but are not returned as reviews.
- Google Play is not included; for Android apps use our [Google Play Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/pagecraft/google-play-reviews-scraper).

# 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

```bash
echo '{
  "apps": [
    "284882215"

  "countries": [

## MCP server setup

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

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).
