vivo AppStore Scraper

Extract Android app data from the vivo AppStore (应用商店) — the official app marketplace on vivo and iQOO phones.

No API key required.

Why this scraper?

🎯 Built for the vivo AppStore

A dedicated scraper for vivo's Chinese Android store — not a generic tool bolted onto Apple or Google Play. It speaks the store's own API directly, so the data is complete and current.

📦 Complete app data

App name, package name, developer, one-line tagline and full long-form description, plus the direct APK download URL and store URL for every app.

⭐ Ratings and reach

Star rating, total number of raters, and cumulative download count — the three numbers you need to gauge how an app is performing.

🖼️ Media and metadata

Screenshot gallery, icon URL, version name and code, app size, last-update date, ad and paid flags, privacy-policy URL and the Chinese ICP licence number.

🔥 Trending discovery

Optionally expand the store's current trending keywords into full searches for a daily snapshot of what is popular right now.

🌐 No key, no proxy, no login

The store's API is open and unprotected. Runs straight through without credentials or proxy setup.

Examples

Search for a specific app:

{
  "searchQueries": ["微信"],
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 20,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

Scrape a whole category of keywords, list-level only (faster):

{
  "searchQueries": ["游戏", "浏览器", "音乐"],
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 50,
  "fetchDetails": false
}

Fetch specific apps by ID:

{
  "appIds": ["40413", "51699", "97410"],
  "fetchDetails": true
}

Daily trending snapshot:

{
  "includeTrending": true,
  "maxTrendingKeywords": 15,
  "maxItemsPerQuery": 30,
  "fetchDetails": true
}

💰 Pricing

$0.89 per 1,000 apps, plus $1.89 per 1,000 for full detail enrichment when fetchDetails is on. You only pay for apps successfully returned — failed retries are never charged.

What you get	Price
App (list-level fields)	$0.89 / 1,000
Full detail enrichment (ratings count, description, screenshots, ICP, overseas flag, update date)	+$1.89 / 1,000

A list-only run (fetchDetails: false) is charged at the list rate alone. Subscription tiers lower both rates in $0.05/1,000 steps, down to $0.69 (list) and $1.69 (detail) at the highest tier.

Flat-rate alternatives typically charge $29–$49/month regardless of usage.

Use the Max results per query cap to control your spend exactly.

Performance

Run size	Typical time
100 apps (list-only)	under 1 minute
100 apps (with details)	2–3 minutes
1,000 apps (with details)	20–30 minutes

Detail fetching adds one request per app. Turn fetchDetails off for the fastest runs.

Known limitations

• The store is Chinese; app names and descriptions are in Chinese. Keyword searches in Chinese return far more results than English ones.
• icpAuthorizedName is published only for some apps (mostly larger developers); it is null otherwise.
• Category is a numeric code; readable names are provided for the common codes (Software, Games) and null otherwise.
• The store caps each keyword search at a few hundred results across all pages; very broad terms will hit that ceiling.
• User reviews are not part of this actor's output.

---

Technical details

• Source: vivo AppStore (应用商店) — official app marketplace for vivo and iQOO devices
• Coverage: the full Chinese vivo store catalogue, reachable by keyword, trending term or app ID
• Retry: automatic retry on network errors with exponential backoff
