## 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 Reviews Scraper: Apple App Store and Google Play

Collect user reviews for any iOS or Android app in one run. Paste app URLs or IDs and get clean rows with rating, text, author, date, app version, and the developer's reply (Google Play).

### Why use it

- **Both stores in one actor**, same output shape (`store` field tells them apart).
- **Complaint mining**: set `maxRating` to 2 and collect only negative reviews.
- **Multi-country App Store** in one run (up to 500 recent reviews per app and country).
- **Thousands of Google Play reviews** per app, newest or most helpful first.
- **No API key, no login, no proxy.** Pay per review.

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `appStoreApps` | App Store URLs or numeric IDs |
| `googlePlayApps` | Google Play URLs or package names |
| `countries` | App Store storefronts (`us`, `gb`, `de`...) |
| `language` | Google Play language |
| `sort` | `newest` or `helpful` (Google Play) |
| `maxReviewsPerApp` | Limit per app (per country on the App Store) |
| `minRating` / `maxRating` | Star filter |

### Output example

```json
{ "store": "google_play", "appId": "com.whatsapp", "rating": 1, "text": "...", "date": "2026-10-04T10:12:00.000Z",
  "thumbsUp": 15, "version": "2.26.1", "replyText": null, "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp" }
```

### Use cases

Product feedback analysis, competitor monitoring, sentiment datasets, feature request mining, ASO research, support triage.

### What is App Reviews Scraper?

App Reviews Scraper collects user reviews for iOS and Android apps and returns the rating, title, text, author, date, app version and helpful votes, in the same format for both stores. You can run it from the Apify Console, call it over the API, schedule it, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets and webhooks.

### How to use App Reviews Scraper

1. Paste App Store URLs/IDs into **App Store apps** and/or Google Play URLs/package names into **Google Play apps**.
2. Choose **Countries**, **Sort** and **Max reviews per app**.
3. Use **Min/Max rating** to collect only negative or only positive reviews.
4. Click **Start** and export the reviews to CSV, Excel or JSON.

### How much does it cost?

You pay per review delivered, nothing for compute. Apify subscribers get lower prices:

| Plan | Price per review | Per 1,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0.0020 | $2.00 |
| Bronze | $0.0018 | $1.80 |
| Silver | $0.0015 | $1.50 |
| Gold | $0.0012 | $1.20 |

Example: 2,500 reviews cost about $5.00 on the free plan. The Apify free plan includes $5 of monthly credit, so you can test on real data before paying anything.

### Integrations and API

Every run produces a dataset you can download as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read with the Apify API and the JavaScript/Python clients. The Actor also works as a tool for AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

### FAQ

**Is it legal?** The Actor only reads publicly available pages and does not log in anywhere. You are responsible for how you use the data, including GDPR and the terms of the source site.

**Something broke or a field is missing?** Open an issue in the Issues tab. I usually reply within a day and fix confirmed bugs quickly.

**Need a custom version?** Describe it in an issue and I will tell you what is possible.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "appStoreApps": [
    "310633997"
  ],
  "googlePlayApps": [
    "com.whatsapp"
  ]

apify call quiethand098/app-reviews-scraper-ios-android --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,quiethand098/app-reviews-scraper-ios-android"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
