## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## Apple App Store Developer Leads

Turn the iOS App Store into a B2B lead list. Search by keyword and get, for every app, the seller, the **developer website**, a **scraped contact email**, category, rating, review count, and price. One lead per app.

iOS app developers are a captive market for app tools, ASO, and mobile marketing. Pair this with a Google Play scraper for full mobile coverage. Keyless, no API key.

### Who buys this

- **App-tool and SDK vendors** selling analytics, monetization, or testing to app makers.
- **ASO and mobile-marketing agencies** prospecting app owners.
- **Ad networks** building publisher pipelines.

### How it works

1. For each keyword it searches the iOS App Store via the keyless iTunes API, returning the seller, website, ratings, category, and price.
2. It fetches each seller website and scrapes a contact email.
3. Each app is scored and tiered, then pushed as one lead.

### Output

One row per app:

```json
{
  "name": "Invoice Simple: Invoice Maker",
  "seller": "Zenvoice Inc.",
  "website": "https://www.invoicesimple.com",
  "email": "support@invoicesimple.com",
  "category": "Business",
  "ratings": 122545,
  "rating": 4.8,
  "price": "Free",
  "lastUpdated": "2026-06-01T00:00:00Z",
  "appStoreUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/...",
  "tier": "qualified_lead",
  "leadScore": 90
}
````

### Tiers and pricing

Pay per lead. The first 10 `qualified_lead` per run are free so you can validate output.

| Tier | Meaning | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `listing` | App data, no developer website | $0.01 |
| `lead` | A developer website (every app with a seller URL) | $0.02 |
| `qualified_lead` | A scraped contact email and ratings at or above the bar | $0.05 |

The search is keyless and the website scrape is light, so runs are fast and a single run can return thousands of leads.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `keywords` | `[]` | App topics, one search each. |
| `country` | `US` | Store country. |
| `maxLeads` | `200` | Cap total leads per run. |
| `maxPerKeyword` | `100` | Apps per keyword (up to 200). |
| `minRatings` | `0` | Drop apps below this rating count. |
| `qualifiedMinRatings` | `50` | Rating bar for the qualified\_lead tier. |
| `includeEmail` | `true` | Scrape seller websites for a contact email. |
| `maxEmailLookups` | `80` | Cap how many top leads get the email scrape. |

### Notes

- Apple does not publish the developer email directly, so the website is always present and the email is scraped from it (moderate hit rate). Expect more `lead` than `qualified_lead` rows.
- Respect the App Store terms and applicable outreach laws when contacting developers.

# Actor input Schema

## `keywords` (type: `array`):

App topics to search for (e.g. invoice, meditation, crm, budgeting).

## `country` (type: `string`):

Two-letter store country code. Default US.

## `maxLeads` (type: `integer`):

Cap total leads scored per run.

## `maxPerKeyword` (type: `integer`):

Cap apps taken from each keyword (iTunes returns up to 200).

## `minRatings` (type: `integer`):

Drop apps with fewer ratings than this. Zero keeps everything.

## `qualifiedMinRatings` (type: `integer`):

Ratings at or above this, with a scraped email, tier a lead as qualified\_lead.

## `includeEmail` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch each seller website and scrape a contact email.

## `maxEmailLookups` (type: `integer`):

Cap how many top leads get the website email scrape.

## `concurrency` (type: `integer`):

Website scrapes in parallel.
