App Store Scraper – App Details & Top Charts

Get Apple App Store data as clean JSON: app details by app ID, bundle ID or App Store URL in any country, customer reviews, keyword search results and top free, paid and grossing charts. One record per app, review or chart entry, for app-market research, ASO and competitor tracking, review monitoring and AI agents. $1 per 1,000 apps, $0.10 per 1,000 reviews, no start fee; unknown apps and errors are free.

• What you get: name, developer, price, rating and ratings count (overall and current version), version, release notes, size, genres, age rating, languages, icon and screenshot links; reviews with rating, title, text, app version, reviewer nickname and date; chart rank.
• Price: app $0.001 per app, review $0.0001 per review, chart-entry $0.0005 per chart entry.
• Works everywhere: API, MCP for AI agents, Make, Zapier, n8n, schedules and webhooks.

Input

Choose a mode and fill its list. Every app, keyword or chart is fetched in each country of countries; each such combination is one item with its own record. An app listed twice in one country (for example as ID and as URL) is fetched and charged once.

Output

Every record has recordType: app, review, chart-entry, or summary (one per item in the reviews, search and charts modes, free). In the apps mode the app record is itself the item's record.

Summary record (one per item in the reviews, search and charts modes; never charged):

{ "input": { "mode": "reviews", "app": "1232780281", "country": "us" }, "recordType": "summary", "country": "us", "sort": "mostrecent", "appId": "1232780281", "appName": "Notion: Notes, Tasks, AI", "rating": 4.7752, "ratingCount": 90387, "resultsDelivered": 200, "stopReason": "limit", "status": "ok", "charged": false, "source": "appstore", "fetchedAt": "2026-10-14T21:50:40.000Z" }

Field	Meaning
appId, bundleId, name, url, country	The app in one storefront (prices, ratings and texts differ per country).
rating, ratingCount, ratingCurrentVersion, ratingCountCurrentVersion	Average star rating and number of ratings, overall and for the current version.
version, currentVersionReleaseDate, releaseNotes, releaseDate	Current version and its notes; releaseDate is the first release.
rank, searchTerm	Search mode: position in Apple's results for the keyword.
reviewId, rating, title, text, version, authorName, updatedAt, helpfulVotes, totalVotes	Review rows (rating 1–5, version = app version reviewed).
chart, rank, genreId, summary	Chart rows; bundleId, price and summary come with genre and top-grossing charts.
reviewsDelivered, reviewsStopReason	Apps mode with includeReviews: how many reviews were delivered and why they stopped.
resultsDelivered, stopReason	Summary rows: rows delivered for the item; limit, end, free_plan, budget, aborted, deadline or error.

status is one of:

• ok: delivered (rows and app records charged; summaries free);
• not_found: no such app in that country's App Store (not charged);
• error: Apple failed or throttled the request (not charged);
• skipped_invalid: not an App Store ID, bundle ID or URL (not charged);
• skipped_budget: your Maximum cost per run was reached (not charged);
• skipped_free_plan: beyond the free-plan limit below (not charged);
• skipped_unmetered: the run is not pay-per-event (not charged).

The run's key-value store OUTPUT record contains totals (counts, charged amount).

Pricing

Pay-per-event, charged only for delivered rows:

Event	Price	When
app	$0.001	per app record (apps mode) or app in search results (search mode)
review	$0.0001	per review row
chart-entry	$0.0005	per chart entry

Examples: details of 1,000 apps cost $1; 500 reviews of one app cost $0.05; the US top-100 free chart costs $0.05. Set Maximum cost per run to cap spend: rows are sized to the remaining budget before they are fetched, and the Actor stops cleanly when the cap is reached. Accounts on the Apify free plan can process up to 10 items per run (an item is one app, keyword or chart in one country) and 20 rows per item; further items are returned with status: "skipped_free_plan" and are not charged. Upgrade to any paid Apify plan for full batches.

Use with AI agents (MCP)

Use this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any other MCP client through the Apify MCP server. Add this server URL to your client and sign in with your Apify account when asked:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=sfoln/app-store-scraper

To run the MCP server locally instead, start npx -y @apify/actors-mcp-server --tools sfoln/app-store-scraper with your APIFY_TOKEN in the environment.

Example prompt:

Get the App Store details (rating, ratings count, version, price) of app 1232780281 in the US and UK stores.

Runs started by an agent are billed like any other run (see Pricing). Agents can cap what a run may spend with maxTotalChargeUsd.

API usage

Run the Actor and get its dataset items in one call (the call waits up to 5 minutes for the run to finish):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sfoln~app-store-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"apps": ["1232780281"]}'

For large inputs, start the run asynchronously and download the dataset when it has finished:

# 1. Start a run: the response holds the run ID (data.id) and its dataset ID (data.defaultDatasetId)
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/sfoln~app-store-scraper/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"apps": ["1232780281"]}'
# 2. Repeat until data.status is SUCCEEDED (each call waits up to 60 s)
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/actor-runs/<runId>?waitForFinish=60" -H "Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>"
# 3. Download the results (format=json, csv or xlsx)
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<defaultDatasetId>/items?format=json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>"

Python (apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("sfoln/app-store-scraper").call(run_input={"apps": ["1232780281"]})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

Instead of polling, you can attach a webhook to the run (see Integrations). The API tab of this page shows the same calls for JavaScript and the Apify CLI.

Integrations

• Make, Zapier and n8n: run sfoln/app-store-scraper with the Apify app (in n8n, the Apify node) and pass the dataset items to the next step of your workflow.
• Google Sheets: add the items to a sheet with the Google Sheets step of Make, Zapier or n8n, or download them as CSV or Excel from the run's Storage tab or the API (format=csv or format=xlsx).
• Webhooks: get a POST request when a run succeeds or fails: add a webhook in the Actor's Integrations tab, or pass webhooks when you start a run through the API.
• Schedules: run it hourly, daily or weekly with the same input from Apify Schedules; every run keeps its results in its own dataset.
• More: Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, LangChain, LlamaIndex and other Apify integrations.

FAQ

How much does it cost, and am I charged for failed items?

You pay per event at the prices under Pricing above, plus a run start fee of $0.00005 per GB of memory, with no subscription; platform usage is included. Errors and skipped items (skipped_… statuses) are never charged; a lookup that finds nothing is charged only where Pricing says so, and every record's charged field shows whether it was billed. Set Maximum cost per run to cap what a single run can spend.

How fresh is the data?

Each run queries its source while it runs, so you get what the source returns at that moment. Source-specific details, such as how often a provider refreshes its own database, are under Limits & notes.

What are the limits?

Per-run caps (for example the maximum number of items) are listed under Input, source limits under Limits & notes, and the free-plan limit under Pricing. For big batches, start the run asynchronously (see API usage) and read the dataset when it has finished.

Can I schedule runs or get results by webhook?

Yes. Create a schedule in Apify Console to run it hourly, daily or weekly with the same input, and add a webhook to get a POST request when a run finishes (see Integrations).

What does this Actor record about my runs?

This Actor records operational metrics about each run (item counts, duration, charges, error codes and a pseudonymous hash of your Apify user ID) to monitor reliability and costs. It never stores your input or results.

Which apps can I look up?

Any app listed in the Apple App Store: pass its numeric ID (1232780281), its bundle ID (notion.id) or its App Store URL. iPhone, iPad and Mac apps are supported; an ID that is not an app (a developer ID, a removed app) comes back as not_found and is not charged.

How many reviews can I get per app?

Apple's public reviews feed serves the newest (or most helpful) 500 reviews per app and country, 50 per page. To collect more, run the same app in several countries: each storefront has its own reviews.

Why did a search fail with a rate_limit error?

Apple throttles keyword search per IP address. The Actor spaces its calls, pauses and tries again; if Apple still refuses, the keyword ends with status error, nothing is charged, and a later run usually succeeds.

How do I get help?

Open an issue in the Actor's Issues tab and include the link to the run, so we can reproduce the problem. Feature requests are welcome there too.

Limits & notes

• Data source: Apple's public iTunes Lookup and Search API, the App Store customer-reviews feed and Apple's RSS top charts. Data is live: what the App Store shows in that country at run time (lookups may be up to a day old, as Apple caches them).
• Pace: Apple allows about 20 requests per minute, so the Actor spaces its requests across the whole run. Lookups batch 50 apps per request, so 1,000 apps take about a minute; reviews come 50 per request (500 reviews of one app ≈ 30 seconds).
• Reviews: at most the newest (or most helpful) 500 reviews per app and country, a limit of Apple's feed. Each country has its own reviews: add countries for more. Reviews have no reviewer ID beyond the public nickname.
• Search: Apple throttles keyword search per IP address. A throttled keyword is retried after a pause and otherwise ends as an uncharged error.
• Charts: 10–100 entries per chart. top-grossing and genre charts come from Apple's iTunes RSS feeds, which also return the bundle ID, price and a short description.
• Not returned: in-app purchase lists, privacy labels, download counts or revenue (Apple does not publish them), and the app's full review history beyond 500 per country.
