## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## App Store Reviews Scraper — Multi-Country, Fast, No Proxy

Scrape **Apple App Store reviews across many countries** as clean JSON, CSV or Excel — star rating, title, review text, app version, author and votes.

Built on Apple's **official RSS feed + iTunes API**. No headless browser, no login, no proxy needed.

### Why this one — coverage

Apple's reviews feed is capped at ~500 reviews per country. Most scrapers pull one storefront and stop. This one **aggregates across every country you list** — us, gb, br, de, jp, … — so a popular app yields thousands of reviews instead of a few hundred, deduplicated by review id.

### What you get per review

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `appName`, `appId`, `country` | The app and storefront |
| `rating` | 1–5 stars |
| `title`, `review` | The review |
| `appVersion` | Version reviewed |
| `author`, `authorUri` | Reviewer |
| `voteSum`, `voteCount` | Helpfulness |
| `updated` | Timestamp |

### Input

```json
{
    "apps": ["Instagram", "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id310633997", "389801252"],
    "countries": ["us", "gb", "br", "de", "jp"],
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 0,
    "starRatings": ["1", "2"]
}
```

- **`apps`** — App Store id, URL, or app name (resolved automatically).
- **`countries`** — two-letter storefront codes to aggregate. More = more reviews.
- **`maxReviewsPerApp`** — `0` = as many as Apple exposes across your countries.
- **`starRatings`** — keep only certain ratings (e.g. just 1–2 star complaints).

### Common uses

- **App feedback** — pull every recent complaint across all your markets and cluster them.
- **Competitor research** — compare sentiment and version-specific issues across rivals.
- **Localization/QA** — see what breaks in specific countries and app versions.
- **LLM / sentiment pipelines** — clean JSON straight into analysis.

### Notes

Uses only Apple's **public** review feed. Review Apple's terms and your local law before large-scale use of personal data.

# Actor input Schema

## `apps` (type: `array`):

One entry per app. Accepts a numeric App Store id (e.g. "389801252"), an App Store URL, or an app name (e.g. "Instagram").

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Two-letter country codes to aggregate reviews from. More countries = far more reviews. Example: us, gb, br, de, jp.

## `maxReviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many reviews per app (summed across countries). Use 0 for no limit.

## `maxPagesPerCountry` (type: `integer`):

Apple caps the reviews feed at 10 pages (~500 reviews) per country. Lower this for quick samples.

## `starRatings` (type: `array`):

Only keep these ratings. Leave empty for all 1–5 star reviews.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Apple's feed works without a proxy; add one only for very large multi-country runs.

  "apps": [
    "389801252",
