App Store & Google Play Scraper: Details, Search & Top Charts

Get Apple App Store and Google Play app data in one run: full app details (rating, ratings count, installs, price, version, size, release notes, screenshots), keyword search rankings, and top free / paid / grossing charts for any country and category. $2 per 1,000 apps with full details, $0.50 per 1,000 search or chart rows.

What can this app store scraper do?

• 📱 Both stores, one input. Type Duolingo and get its App Store and Google Play listing. Or paste store URLs, numeric App Store IDs or package names (com.spotify.music).
• 🏆 Top charts. Top free, top paid and top grossing, overall or for 21 categories (games, finance, health & fitness...). Up to 200 apps per Google Play chart and 100 per App Store chart, per country.
• 🔎 Keyword search ranks. See which apps rank for habit tracker or budget app, in order, in each store and country. Ideal for ASO keyword tracking.
• 🧾 Full app details in one shared format for both stores: rating, ratings count, rating histogram (Play), installs (Play), price, in-app purchases, ads, genre, content rating, version, release and update dates, release notes (App Store), size, minimum OS, languages, description, icon, screenshots, developer and website.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap. Official public endpoints, no browser: a 300-app chart run takes about 10 seconds.
• 💸 Pay only for apps you get. Apps that aren't found and store errors are free.

FAQ

How do I get the App Store top charts for a country? Set charts to ["top-free"] (or paid/grossing), add the country code, and pick a category. You get the rank, app name, developer, price and link for every position.

Is there a Google Play top charts API? Google has no official public one. This Actor reads the same chart data the Play Store shows, up to 200 apps per chart and category, and returns it as JSON, CSV or Excel.

How do I track my app's keyword rankings (ASO)? Put your keywords in searchTerms, save the input as a task and add a daily schedule. Each row has the rank, so you can chart your position over time in Google Sheets.

Can I get install counts? Google Play publishes install ranges (installs, minInstalls) and they're included in full details. Apple doesn't publish downloads; use ratingsCount as a popularity signal.

Can I monitor competitors' updates and prices? Yes: schedule a run with their apps. version, updated, releaseNotes and price show every change.

Is it legal to scrape app store data? The Actor reads only public store pages and Apple's public iTunes Search API and chart feeds that anyone can see without logging in. It returns app and business data, not personal data.

Something broke? Open an issue on the Issues tab. The Actor is monitored daily and fixed quickly.
