## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## App Store Reviews Scraper – Apple App Reviews by Country

Export **Apple App Store reviews of any iOS app** – star rating, title, text, date, app version and the developer's response – from one or many countries in a single run. Sort by newest, rating or helpfulness. No Apple API key, no proxies.

**$0.20 per 1,000 reviews** (+ $0.001 per app for the app details row).

### What you get

One item per review:

```json
{
  "type": "review",
  "store": "app-store",
  "appId": "324684580",
  "country": "gb",
  "reviewId": "1234567890",
  "userName": "jsmith",
  "score": 4,
  "title": "Great, but…",
  "text": "Love the podcasts, the queue could be smarter …",
  "date": "2026-08-26T10:41:00.000Z",
  "version": "9.0.50",
  "replyText": null,
  "url": "https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/id324684580"
}
```

Plus one `type: "app"` row per app with title, developer, rating, price and version.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `apps` | App Store URLs or numeric app IDs, one per line. |
| `reviewsCountries` | Countries to pull reviews from (`us`, `gb`, `de`, …). Apple keeps reviews separate per country. |
| `maxReviewsPerApp` | Cap per app and country (Apple serves up to 500 per country). |
| `reviewsSort` | `newest`, `rating` or `helpfulness`. |

### Use cases

- **Feedback mining** – recurring complaints, crashes after an update, feature requests.
- **Competitor research** – strengths and weaknesses of rival apps per market.
- **Sentiment analysis** – rating-labelled text for NLP or LLM classification.
- **Localization QA** – compare what German, Japanese and US users say.
- **Monitoring** – daily run with `newest`, pushed to Slack or a sheet.

### FAQ

**Is there a limit of 500 reviews?** Per country, yes – that is what Apple exposes. Add countries to collect thousands.

**Do I need an API key?** No.

**Can I get Google Play reviews as well?** Use the [Google Play Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/pulsedata/google-play-reviews-scraper) or the combined [App Store & Google Play Scraper](https://apify.com/pulsedata/app-store-google-play-scraper), which also does search, top charts and developer portfolios.

### Integrations

Run via API/SDK or on a schedule; export JSON, CSV, Excel; push to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n; usable as an MCP tool for AI agents.

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pulsedata/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).
