Why this scraper?

🌍 52 countries, native currencies, one run

Price and check availability for any album, song or video across the US, all of Europe, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at once. Every result carries each country's exact local price and currency.

💿 Full album tracklists

Turn on tracklists and every album returns its complete track list — each track with title, number, duration, explicitness, a 30-second preview URL and its own Apple Music link. Most cheap scrapers stop at the album cover.

📈 Browse the charts

Pull Apple Music's current most-played songs or albums for any country straight from Apple's official charts feed, then enrich every entry with full metadata and multi-country pricing.

🎧 Albums, songs, artists and music videos

Search any combination of catalogue types in one run. Expand an artist into their full discography. Look up exact items by Apple ID or by pasting an Apple Music URL.

🖼️ Media included

High-resolution artwork (up to 1200px), 30-second audio previews for songs, and video previews for music videos — every record.

🎯 Powerful filtering

Filter by type, genre, explicit/clean, price band, release window and streamable status.

💸 Pay only for results

Flat per-item pricing. You only pay for items actually returned. Filtered-out items and failed retries are never charged.

Known limitations

• Buy prices reflect what Apple exposes per storefront; many catalogue items are streaming-only and return availability without a buy price.
• Tracklists are fetched for albums only, in the primary country.
• Region-exclusive titles only appear in the storefronts that carry them.

---

Technical details

• Source: Apple's public iTunes Search and Lookup APIs and the official Apple Music charts feed.
• Memory: 512 MB.
• Retry: Automatic retry on network errors, exponential backoff, 3 attempts per request.
• Output: Every run writes an OUTPUT summary and a HEALTH status to the key-value store.

Run it on a schedule

This actor is built for repeat use. Set it to run daily, weekly, or hourly, and the data keeps flowing without you touching it.

• Schedule runs — open the actor, go to Schedules, and pick a cadence. Each run only charges you for the results it returns.
• Connect it to your stack — push results straight to Google Sheets, Slack, a webhook, or your database using Apify Integrations. No glue code needed.
• Pull results via API — every run writes a clean dataset you can fetch with one API call, ready for whatever you build on top of it.

Set it once and it runs on its own.
