App Store & Google Play Intelligence — both stores, one dataset

Search the App Store by keyword or pull specific apps from Apple and Google Play into a single table: ratings, rating counts, price, category, version, update date, size, languages and user reviews.

The point is the shared record shape. Most scrapers cover one store, so comparing an app across both means merging two incompatible exports by hand. Here both stores come back with the same field names.

Why the comparison matters

Real numbers from a test run:

App	App Store	Google Play
Spotify	4.71★ from 5,621,877 ratings	4.19★ from 36,028,975 ratings

Same product, half a star apart, and a sixfold difference in review volume. Anyone doing app-market research, competitor tracking or store optimisation needs both sides — and needs them aligned.

What you get per app

Use cases

• Store optimisation (ASO) — which apps rank for your keywords, in which position, and what their listings look like
• Competitor tracking — schedule a weekly run and watch ratings, prices, versions and update cadence move
• Market research — the size and quality of a category before you build in it
• Review mining — hundreds of recent reviews as structured text, ready for sentiment or topic analysis
• Cross-store audits — where your app is rated worse and why
• AI agents — one clean schema for both stores, callable via MCP

Input examples

Keyword research in the German App Store:

{ "mode": "search", "keywords": ["budget planner", "Rechnung scannen"], "country": "de", "max_items": 50 }

Compare one product across both stores:

{
    "mode": "apps",
    "apple_ids": ["com.spotify.client"],
    "play_ids": ["com.spotify.music"],
    "country": "de"
}

Mine reviews of a competitor:

{ "mode": "apps", "apple_ids": ["284882215"], "include_reviews": true, "max_reviews_per_app": 500 }

What does a run cost?

Records	Cost
100 apps	$0.11
1,000 apps	$1.01
1 app with 500 reviews	$0.01

$0.01 per run start plus $0.001 per app record. Reviews come nested inside the app record, so a review-heavy run stays cheap.

Limitations — stated honestly

• Keyword search covers the App Store. Google Play has no stable public search endpoint; Play apps are loaded by package name. Say com.whatsapp, not "WhatsApp".
• Reviews are Apple only. Apple publishes a public review feed of up to 500 recent reviews per app and country. Google Play publishes no equivalent feed, and this actor does not pretend otherwise.
• Rankings are per country. A keyword position in de says nothing about us — run each store front you care about.
• Apps that do not exist return found: false instead of an empty row.

Data sources

Apple data comes from the official iTunes Search API and the public customer-review feed. Google Play data comes from the structured schema.org block that each store page publishes for search engines. No login, no paywall and no access control is involved, and no personal data beyond the public display names attached to reviews.
