## 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 Customer Reviews Scraper

![App Store review data](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/IwI7VoxszQjT6v69X/records/appstore-customer-reviews-scraper-410e81c531424e3f-readme-hero.webp?signature=15M32DyCZLTUqRMdHxbau)

App Store Customer Reviews Scraper collects current customer feedback from Apple’s first-party review feeds. Give it one to five numeric application IDs, choose a supported country storefront, and receive up to 100 unique reviews with title, body, 1–5 rating, reviewed app version, author, Apple update time, and observation time. It is designed for App Store optimization, release monitoring, support triage, competitor research, and repeat review snapshots.

A real US-source row for Facebook app ID `284882215` has review ID `14534638519`, title `Oluchi Genevieve`, rating `1`, version `578.1`, author `Gennyrich`, source update time `2026-09-10T14:25:16-07:00`, and a non-empty customer review body. Use input such as `{"appIds":["284882215"],"country":"us","pages":3,"maxItems":100}`. The page-level coverage record distinguishes empty pages, missing next links, request failures, and delivered rows.

Each delivered review costs **$0.0001** on the Free tier, $0.00009 on Bronze, $0.00008 on Silver, and $0.00007 on Gold, Platinum, and Diamond. There is no Actor-start or diagnostic charge. Empty or failed pages produce no paid rows, and Max total charge limits paid delivery before source collection.

Apple’s feed can have a valid empty first page while later pages contain reviews, so this Actor continues through the requested bounded range. It reads at most three pages per app, never promises a complete archive, and does not infer sentiment, helpfulness, developer replies, or missing values. Runs share a 110-second limit and never follow redirects.

### Selected fields from a retained source row

```json
{"schemaVersion":"1.0","recordType":"app_store_customer_review","appId":"284882215","country":"us","reviewId":"14534638519","title":"Oluchi Genevieve","rating":1,"version":"578.1","author":"Gennyrich","sourceUpdatedAt":"2026-09-10T14:25:16-07:00","sourceURL":"https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/customerreviews/page=2/id=284882215/sortby=mostrecent/json"}
```

Full reviews, including customer text, are stored in the Dataset. Read `OUTPUT` for page coverage, billing counters, and a compact confirmed-delivery snapshot containing identifiers, rating, version, source timestamps, and source URLs. The compact snapshot omits review bodies. Schedule the repeat-review task and deduplicate downstream by `reviewId` to monitor newly visible feedback.

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "appIds": [
        "284882215"
    ],
    "country": "us",
    "pages": 3,
    "maxItems": 100
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("zinin/appstore-customer-reviews-scraper").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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "appIds": ["284882215"],
    "country": "us",
    "pages": 3,
    "maxItems": 100,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("zinin/appstore-customer-reviews-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "appIds": [
    "284882215"
  ],
  "country": "us",
  "pages": 3,
  "maxItems": 100
}' |
apify call zinin/appstore-customer-reviews-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,zinin/appstore-customer-reviews-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
