Apple App Store Scraper: apps, top charts and prices in 169 countries

Scrape Apple App Store apps by link, app ID, bundle ID or developer, or pull Apple's Top Free and Top Paid charts for iPhone, iPad or Mac in any category. Every app comes with its price in the local currency, rating, number of ratings, version, release notes, description, size, languages, age rating, screenshots and icon. Run the same apps in any of 169 App Store countries in one go to compare prices and availability, and switch on monitor mode to see what changed since the last run: price, rating, version, name or chart position. No login, no Apple ID, no API key.

What you get

App	App ID, bundle ID, name, link, developer, developer ID and page, seller, developer website
Price	Price, currency and the price as shown in that country's store ("Free", "£6.99", "¥800"), free or paid
Ratings	Average rating and number of ratings, for all versions and for the current version
Release	Current version, its release date and release notes, first release date
Details	Description, categories, age rating and content advisories, minimum iOS/macOS version, download size, supported languages, devices (iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, Vision), Game Center
Media	Icon (512×512), iPhone, iPad and Apple TV screenshots
Charts	Chart (top free / top paid), platform, category, rank and the app's subtitle (top 25)
Monitor	What changed since the last run, the previous values, new ratings and chart places gained or lost

How to use it

1. Add apps: App Store links, app IDs (the number after id in the link) or bundle IDs such as com.duolingo.DuolingoMobile.
2. Or add developers: a developer link or ID gets every app they publish.
3. Or pick top charts: Top Free and/or Top Paid, for iPhone, iPad or Mac, in "All Apps" or any category (Games, Productivity, "Games: Puzzle" …), up to 200 places each.
4. Pick countries: two-letter codes (us, gb, de, jp …), country names, or all for all 169 App Store countries. Every app, developer and chart is scraped in every country you list.
5. Optional: turn on monitor mode and schedule the task daily.

A chart row in monitor mode also has:

{
  "chart": "top-free",
  "chartName": "Top Free Games",
  "chartPlatform": "iphone",
  "chartCategory": "Games",
  "rank": 1,
  "subtitle": "Rip Packs & Collect Cards",
  "changes": [],
  "previous": { "price": 0, "currency": "GBP", "rating": 4.7191, "ratingCount": 979, "version": "1.1.2", "title": "CrownCards - Trading Cards", "rank": 1, "checkedAt": "2026-10-02T00:05:58.000Z" },
  "rankChange": 0,
  "ratingCountChange": 0
}

Every row has every field; fields that don't apply are null. The dataset has ready-made views: Apps, Top charts, Prices by country and Changes.

FAQ

Do I need an Apple ID, an API key or a login? No. The scraper reads the same public App Store data anyone can see, without signing in. It never logs in and needs nothing from you except the apps, developers or charts you want.

Can I search the App Store by keyword? Not directly. Apple's robots.txt asks automated tools not to use App Store search, and this Actor follows it. Find apps through the top charts (by category), through a developer, or paste app links, IDs or bundle IDs.

Which countries are supported? All 169 countries with an App Store. Use two-letter codes (us, gb, de, jp), country names, or all. A code Apple doesn't serve is skipped after one request and not charged. Prices, currencies, ratings and texts are those of each country's store. Names and descriptions come in each store's own language, or set Language to English or Japanese.

Why is an app missing in some countries? The app isn't sold there (or was removed). The run's status message lists these, and you are not charged for them.

How many chart places can I get? Up to 200 for each chart (Top Free and Top Paid), for iPhone, iPad and Mac, in All Apps or any category. Paid charts sometimes include app bundles; they keep their place in the ranking but are not saved, so a paid chart can have slightly fewer than 200 rows.

Why do Mac apps have no rating? Apple's public data has no ratings for Mac App Store apps, so rating and ratingCount are empty for them rather than a misleading 0.

How does monitor mode work? With Compare with the previous run on, each row gets changes (new, price, rating, version, title, rank, newInChart) and the previous values from the last run of the same input (or the same Watchlist name). Schedule the task daily. With Only save apps that changed, unchanged apps are checked but not saved, which costs much less than saving them. The history lives in a key-value store in your own Apify account (up to 50,000 apps per watchlist). Apple's servers may cache this data for up to a day, so daily runs are the right rhythm.

How fast is it? One request returns up to 200 apps for one country, so 1,000 apps in one country take about ten seconds, and one app in all 169 countries about a minute.

How is it priced? A small start fee per run, then a price per saved app row (one app in one country, or one chart place). In monitor mode with Only save apps that changed, unchanged apps are charged a much smaller "check" fee instead. Apps that aren't available, countries Apple doesn't serve and failed requests are never charged.

Which proxy should I use? Keep the default (Apify Proxy, datacenter). It comes with every Apify plan, and the App Store country is set by the Countries input, not by the proxy. If Apple turns datacenter IPs away for a while, the run switches to residential proxies when your account has them.

Is it legal to scrape the Apple App Store? This Actor only collects publicly available data: app listings that anyone can see on the App Store without an account, such as the app's name, developer, price, rating totals, version, description and screenshots. Collecting publicly available data is generally legal, but you're responsible for how you use it. It does not collect user reviews or reviewers' names. A developer can be an individual who publishes under their own name; that name is shown as the app's developer, and the scraper removes personal e-mail addresses and phone numbers from descriptions and release notes. You must follow privacy laws such as GDPR, PIPEDA and CCPA, as well as Apple's terms. If you're unsure, check with a lawyer. More on this: Is web scraping legal?

Does it access any private data? No. Everything comes from public App Store listings and charts that Apple shows to any visitor without signing in. It never uses an Apple ID, never touches purchases, reviews or private accounts, and follows Apple's robots.txt.

Is this an official Apple product? No. This Actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apple Inc. Apple, App Store, iPhone, iPad and Mac are trademarks of Apple Inc.
