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). # README ## App Store App Metadata Snapshot Apple App Store metadata — ratings, version, IAPs, screenshots, release notes, supported devices, file size, developer info — for any app, in any storefront. One row per (app × country). Public iTunes Lookup, no auth. ### What you get ```` { "snapshotAt": "2026-06-02T11:55:11+00:00", "appId": "389801252", "country": "us", "bundleId": "com.burbn.instagram", "trackName": "Instagram", "artistName": "Instagram, Inc.", "sellerName": "Instagram, Inc.", "sellerUrl": "http://instagram.com/", "trackViewUrl": "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/instagram/id389801252", "price": 0.0, "formattedPrice": "Free", "currency": "USD", "averageUserRating": 4.69066, "userRatingCount": 29102694, "version": "432.0.0", "releaseDate": "2010-10-06T08:12:41Z", "currentVersionReleaseDate": "2026-06-01T12:33:57Z", "minimumOsVersion": "16.3", "fileSizeBytes": 575915008, "primaryGenreName": "Photo & Video", "genres": \["Photo & Video", "Social Networking"], "contentAdvisoryRating": "12+", "advisories": \["Infrequent/Mild Alcohol …"], "features": \["iosUniversal"], "screenshotUrls": \["https://…", "…"], "artworkUrl512": "https://…", "description": "Little moments lead to big friendships. …", "releaseNotes": "Performance optimizations and stability improvements …" } ```` ### How to use **Input.** ```json { "appIds": ["389801252", "6448311069"], "countries": ["us", "gb", "de", "jp"], "includeFullDescription": true } ```` `appIds` — numeric App Store IDs. Find in the App Store URL: `apps.apple.com//app/.../id`. The actor batches up to 100 IDs per HTTP call. `countries` — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes. Each storefront has its own pricing, ratings, screenshots, and localized text. Useful for tracking competitor pricing across markets. `includeFullDescription` — when `false`, `description` and `releaseNotes` are truncated to 500 chars to keep rows small. ### Pricing PAY\_PER\_EVENT · `$0.0005 per app_metadata_snapshot` · 2 000 snapshots = $1. ### Buyer - ASO consultants tracking version-release cadence + rating shifts. - App PMs running weekly competitor-rating dashboards. - Mobile analytics shops augmenting their data with current metadata. - Anyone watching for an app pulled from the Store (no row returned). ### Source `https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=&country=` — Apple's free public lookup endpoint. Same data that powers the App Store front-end. Actor paces 0.25 s between country batches. # Actor input Schema ## `appIds` (type: `array`): Numeric Apple App Store IDs. Find them in the App Store URL: `apps.apple.com/us/app/.../id`. Examples: `389801252` (Instagram), `544007664` (YouTube), `6448311069` (ChatGPT). ## `countries` (type: `array`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country codes for App Store storefronts. Each storefront has its own pricing, ratings, screenshots, and release notes. Empty = `us` only. ## `includeFullDescription` (type: `boolean`): If false, the description and releaseNotes fields are truncated to 500 chars to keep rows small. Default true. ## Actor input object example ```json { "appIds": [ "389801252", "6448311069" ], "countries": [ "us" ], "includeFullDescription": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "appIds": [ "389801252", "6448311069" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("v0iddo/app-store-app-metadata").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
