## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Apple App Store Reviews Scraper (No Author Data)

Collect publicly available customer reviews from Apple App Store apps. Results include review content and app feedback fields; reviewer names are not collected.

### Who it's for

ASO and product teams tracking customer sentiment, competitor feedback, release regressions by app version, and public review trends.

### Input

Provide `apps` as App Store URLs or numeric IDs, or use `searchTerms` with an app name (the top match is used). Choose `countries` because each storefront has its own reviews. Set `sort` to `mostrecent` or `mosthelpful`. Limit output with `maxReviewsPerApp`; Apple exposes up to 500 reviews per app, country, and sort order. Optionally filter with `minRating`, `maxRating`, or `sinceDate`.

### Output

One record per review: `reviewId`, `appId`, `appName`, `developer`, `country`, `rating`, `title`, `text`, `date`, `appVersion`, `helpfulVotes`, and `totalVotes`.

### Pricing

Pay per event: $0.30 per 1,000 reviews returned. A run returning no reviews has no event charge.

### Feed limitations

This Actor reads Apple's public reviews feed. It may occasionally return no data temporarily; such a run finishes with zero results and zero charge. The public feed returns at most 500 reviews per app, country, and sort order. To broaden coverage, run more countries or both sort orders. Reviewer nicknames are not collected.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "apps": [
        "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252"
    ],
    "countries": [
        "us"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("ultrix_excelence/apple-app-store-reviews-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "apps": ["https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252"],
    "countries": ["us"],
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("ultrix_excelence/apple-app-store-reviews-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "apps": [
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "us"
  ]

apify call ultrix_excelence/apple-app-store-reviews-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,ultrix_excelence/apple-app-store-reviews-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
