Fast and light: no browser, no login, no API key. $1 per 1,000 results.

What can this App Store scraper do?

• 🏆 Top charts for any country: top free, top paid and top grossing for iPhone and iPad, plus new apps, for all apps or any of 42 categories and kinds of games, up to 100 places each, with the rank of every app.
• 🔎 Keyword search rankings: up to 200 apps the App Store finds for a keyword, in order, for ASO keyword tracking and competitor research.
• 📱 Full app details: rating and ratings count (overall and for the current version), price and currency, content rating and advisories, version, release and update dates, what's new, size, minimum iOS version, iPad support, languages, description, icon and screenshots.
• 🏢 Developer catalogs: every app of a developer, by developer link or ID.
• 🌍 Many countries in one run: prices, charts, ratings and rankings differ by country, so every source is scraped for each country you add.
• 🤝 Same output as our Google Play Scraper: the same field names for title, developer, rating, price, version and dates, so iOS and Android apps fit into one table.

How to scrape the App Store

1. Choose what to scrape: top charts and categories, search keywords, apps (links, IDs or bundle IDs) and developers. You can combine them.
2. Add the countries, for example US, GB, DE, JP.
3. Click Start and download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or use them through the API.

Example input

{
  "charts": ["top_free", "top_grossing"],
  "chartGenres": ["ALL", "6014"],
  "chartDepth": 100,
  "searchTerms": ["budget planner"],
  "developers": ["https://apps.apple.com/us/developer/meta-platforms-inc/id284882218"],
  "appIds": ["389801252", "com.spotify.client"],
  "countries": ["US", "GB"]
}

Charts are top_free, top_paid, top_grossing, top_free_ipad, top_paid_ipad, top_grossing_ipad, new, new_free and new_paid. Categories are Apple's genre IDs, such as 6014 for Games or 6015 for Finance, or ALL; in the form you simply pick them from a list.

Use cases

• App Store Optimization (ASO): track where your app ranks for keywords and in category charts, in every country, every day.
• Market and competitor research: see which apps lead a category, how they price, how often they update and how users rate them.
• Top chart monitoring: record top free, paid and grossing charts over time to spot rising apps and trends.
• iOS and Android side by side: run this Actor and our Google Play Scraper with the same keywords and countries, and compare both stores in one table.
• Investors and analysts: follow ratings, chart positions and update activity of apps and publishers.
• Datasets and AI: clean, structured app metadata and descriptions for classification, search and LLM pipelines.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for results: $1 per 1,000 results. That is the price on the Apify Free plan. Paid Apify plans pay less: $0.90 per 1,000 results on Starter, $0.80 on Scale and $0.70 on Business, which is the "from" price shown in Apify Store. There is no start fee. The Apify free plan covers about 5,000 results every month.

Tips

• Daily rank tracking: save your input as a task and add a schedule. Every run records the current rank of each app, so you can chart positions over time.
• Games charts: pick "Games" or a kind of game, such as "Games: Puzzle", in Chart categories.
• Many countries: Apple runs a separate store in each country; add every country you need, and each source is scraped for each of them.
• Errors per source: see the SUMMARY record in the run's key-value store.

FAQ

Why not just ask an AI chatbot? A chatbot with web search knows some popular apps and reads a few store pages, so it cannot give you a full top chart for a country or every app that ranks for a keyword, and the ratings it repeats may be old. This Actor reads the App Store itself: whole charts, keyword rankings and developer catalogs, with ratings, ratings counts, prices and versions as numbers in the same fields every time, at a fixed price per 1,000 results. AI agents can call it as a tool through Apify's MCP server.

Does it scrape reviews? No. This Actor focuses on app data, charts and rankings, and does not collect reviewers' names or texts.

Why does a chart have at most 100 apps? That is how many places Apple lists for each chart. For more apps, add categories: each category has its own chart of 100.

Does it show installs? No. Apple does not publish install numbers; the ratings count is the closest public measure of an app's size.

Is it legal to scrape the App Store? The Actor collects publicly available app listings through Apple's public search, lookup and chart feeds, without logging in. Check the terms that apply to your use case. This Actor is not affiliated with Apple.

Integrations and API

• Google Sheets, Slack, email and BI tools: connect the Actor to Make, Zapier or n8n, or use the Integrations tab of this Actor. Schedule it daily to track chart ranks and ratings over time.
• Webhooks: call your own URL when a run finishes, for example to load the results into your database.
• AI agents (MCP): add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=robertosan16/app-store-scraper as an MCP server in Claude, Cursor or VS Code, and your agent can look up apps, top charts and search rankings with this Actor.
• API: one request runs the Actor and returns the apps, for runs of up to 5 minutes. Start longer runs with the runs endpoint and read the dataset when they finish.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/robertosan16~app-store-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"searchTerms":["habit tracker"],"countries":["US"],"maxItems":20}'
