Apple App Store scraper with three modes: search apps by keyword, look up apps by numeric ID or bundle ID, and read the top free / top paid charts by country and genre. One normalized row per app: id, bundleId, name, developer, price, rating, ratingCount, genres, releaseDate, currentVersionReleaseDate, url. It uses Apple's public iTunes Search/Lookup API and the Apple marketing RSS charts. No login, no browser, no proxies. Pay $0.0015 per app ($1.50 per 1,000), no start fee.
Input
- mode:
search,lookuportopCharts(defaulttopCharts). - country: two-letter storefront code (default
us). - term: keyword (search).
- ids / bundleIds: App Store IDs, URLs or bundle IDs (lookup; batched 200 per request).
- chart:
top-freeortop-paid; genre: optional genre ID, e.g. 6007 Productivity (topCharts). - limit: max apps, 1-200 (default 25).
An empty input {} runs as-is: the US top free chart, 25 apps.

Pricing (pay per event)
Event app-scraped: one app row added to the dataset, $0.0015. Searches with no results and unknown IDs cost nothing.
Honest limits
- Search returns at most 200 apps per query; top charts at most 200 entries, as Apple exposes.
- Requests are throttled to about 20 per minute to respect Apple's guidance and retried with backoff on 403/429, so large lookups take a little while.
- Metadata only. For reviews use the companion actor below. Data is public Apple catalogue data; Apple may change or limit these endpoints.

AI disclosure
This actor was written with the assistance of an AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) and is maintained by PennyData. It was tested against Apple's live public endpoints before publishing.
