## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

## App Release Review Regression Report

<!-- v29-buyability:start -->
### Buyable first run

Use this Actor when mobile product, QA, support, and app growth teams need to decide whether a public app release created review regressions that need QA or product action. It is positioned as a report, not a raw scraper.

- Entry report: $9 / release_review_snapshot_report. $9 gives one release review risk snapshot with score, source URLs, and three QA actions.
- Premium report: $29 / release_regression_report. $29 adds deeper issue grouping, QA backlog suggestions, and regression triage context.
- Public price surface is entry and premium only. High-tier/watch events are held until real paid proof exists.
- Safety cap: `maxChargeUsd` is the hard budget limit.
- Why it is worth paying for: Replaces the first manual pass of reading recent public app reviews after a release and turning them into QA actions.

Recommended first paid run:

```json
{
  "demoMode": false,
  "dryRun": false,
  "reportTier": "snapshot",
  "maxChargeUsd": 9,
  "maxReports": 1,
  "appleAppIds": [
    "284882215"
  ],
  "appleCountries": [
    "us"
  ],
  "googlePlayIds": [
    "com.duolingo"
  ],
  "lookbackDays": 30,
  "reviewLimit": 25
}
````

This Actor does not promise rankings, revenue, conversion lifts, or sales outcomes. It returns source-backed summaries, warnings, and prioritized actions.

Find out whether a public app release is creating review regressions that deserve product or QA attention. This Actor turns public App Store and Google Play signals into a short decision report: risk score, repeated issue themes, prioritized actions, and QA backlog candidates.

Use it when you need to answer:

- Did the latest release trigger new crash, login, subscription, performance, or sync complaints?
- Which public review themes should become QA backlog items?
- Is there enough evidence to open a release regression triage, or should the team keep watching?

### Pricing

This Actor uses pay per event pricing with a safety cap.

| Tier | Event | Price | Best for |
| --- | --- | ---: | --- |
| Snapshot | `release_review_snapshot_report` | $9 | One app release review check with score and three actions |
| Regression | `release_regression_report` | $29 | Deeper issue grouping, backlog suggestions, and cross-source triage |

A future watch summary tier is designed but hidden until real paid demand is proven. It is not available from the public input schema.

Set `maxChargeUsd` to the tier price you want. If the cap is lower than the selected tier, the run returns a no-charge `limit_reached` summary.

### What You Get

Each paid report includes:

- `decisionSummary` for the release triage call
- `score` and `riskLevel`
- App coverage across public App Store / Google Play sources
- Public review signal summary
- Topic spikes such as stability, login, subscription, performance, ads, or sync
- 3 to 5 prioritized actions
- Source URLs, warnings, confidence, and billing event fields
- `previewReport.nextRunInput` so the next run is easy to launch

### First Run

```json
{
  "appleAppIds": ["284882215"],
  "appleCountries": ["us"],
  "googlePlayIds": ["com.duolingo"],
  "reportTier": "snapshot",
  "maxChargeUsd": 9,
  "maxReports": 1,
  "lookbackDays": 30,
  "reviewLimit": 25,
  "demoMode": false,
  "dryRun": false
}
```

Upgrade to `"reportTier": "regression"` and `"maxChargeUsd": 29` when you want the deeper QA backlog version.

### Source And Safety Rules

Allowed sources are public App Store metadata/review RSS, public iTunes Lookup API, and public Google Play listing pages. This Actor does not use App Store Connect, Apple Search Ads, private dashboards, login-only pages, or paid ASO data.

The report does not profile reviewers, extract personal contact details, or claim ranking, revenue, rating, or sales improvements. Treat public-source findings as triage evidence that should be verified by your product, support, or QA team.

# Actor input Schema

## `appleAppIds` (type: `array`):

Public App Store numeric app IDs to check. Uses public iTunes Lookup and public review RSS only.

## `appleCountries` (type: `array`):

Storefront country codes such as us, jp, gb.

## `googlePlayIds` (type: `array`):

Public Google Play package IDs to include in the app coverage.
