Scrape Apple App Store reviews for any app and any storefront — no login — using Apple's own public RSS feed, and get pain-point / feature-request analysis on top.
Tested (2026-09-02)
5/5 well-known apps returned real reviews on the first request:
| App | App ID | Reviews returned |
|---|---|---|
| Notion | 1232780281 | 20/20 requested |
| 284882215 | 20/20 requested | |
| 310633997 | 20/20 requested | |
| 389801252 | 20/20 requested | |
| TikTok | 835599320 | 20/20 requested |
A single storefront page (50 reviews) took ~0.09s to fetch in that test.
How it works
Apple has published this RSS feed for over a decade with no authentication and no rate-limit wall for reasonable use — one of the most stable public data sources available. No scraping countermeasures to fight, which is also why it needs almost no maintenance.
Input
{"targets": ["1232780281:us", "1232780281:jp"],"maxItems": 200,"analyses": ["overview", "group-regressions"]}
Each target is "AppID:storefront". Apple caps each storefront at ~500 reviews per app, and
every storefront holds a different set of reviews — pass more "id:cc" pairs to cover
more countries in one run.
Output
One dataset item per review:
| Field | |
|---|---|
review_id | Apple's review id |
author | reviewer's public display name |
rating | 1–5 stars |
text / title | review body and headline |
date | when the review was last updated |
group | the app version the review was left on |
link | the review's public URL on the App Store |
No email, phone number, or physical address is present — Apple's public feed doesn't carry those fields.
Analyses (billed once per run, not per review)
| Analysis | What you get |
|---|---|
overview | count, average rating, negative share with a lower-confidence bound |
top-complaints | actual excerpts from low-rating reviews |
top-requests | actual excerpts asking for a feature |
group-regressions | which release's ratings dropped versus the rest — the "did that update hurt us" question, answered directly |
trend | monthly volume and negative share |
Use Cases
- Competitor monitoring: track a rival app's rating trend and recurring complaints release over release.
- Release QA triage: run
group-regressionsright after shipping to catch a version that tanked ratings, with real complaint text attached. - Feature roadmap input: mine
top-requestsfor what users are actually asking for, in their own words. - ASO / App Store copy research: see the exact language reviewers use to praise or criticize competing apps.
Pricing
Pay per event: $0.20 per 1,000 reviews collected, plus $0.05 per analysis you select.
