📋 Overview

Need App Store data without the hassle of building your own pipeline? This actor turns the Apple App Store into clean, structured datasets — search by keyword, paste a search URL, or look up apps by ID. Every record comes back with ratings, pricing, category, version history, screenshots and (in detail mode) real customer reviews.

Why teams choose this actor:

• ✅ Full app records, not snippets: 40+ fields per app — ratings, pricing, category, version, size, languages, screenshots and more
• ⚡ Fast overview mode: each search result already carries the complete app object, so a single query returns dozens of full records
• 🎯 Real customer reviews: detail mode pulls reviews (rating, title, body, author, version, helpful votes) — up to ~500 per app
• 💰 Transparent pay-per-result: you're only charged once your input is validated — no charge for misconfigured runs
• 🌐 Any storefront: US, GB, DE, JP and every other Apple storefront, with the correct local pricing and language
• ✨ No account, no API key, no code: paste a keyword or ID and click Start

✨ Features

• 🔗 Search-URL mode: paste an itunes.apple.com/search?... URL and your filters are honored verbatim
• 🆔 Lookup by ID: feed numeric IDs or App Store URLs for precise, full-detail records
• 💬 Customer reviews: most-recent or most-helpful, multiple pages per app
• 📱 Platform filter: iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV catalogs
• 🗂️ Category & language filters: narrow by genre ID or result language
• 🖼️ Media included: app icon, iPhone & iPad screenshots, deduplicated image set
• 📄 Run report: an HTML summary with a sample table for every run

⚖️ Is it legal to scrape data?

Our actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location. They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our actors, when used for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe.

However, you should be aware that your results could contain personal data (for example, a reviewer's public display name). Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.
