App Store Scraper

App Store Scraper: Apple App Store apps and their reviews, no key needed

Search the App Store by keyword, or look up apps by their ID, and you get one row per app. Name, developer, rating and rating count, price, genres, version, release notes, artwork, screenshots, supported devices and the store link.

Reviews come attached to the app row rather than as rows of their own, and they only work in ID mode. A keyword search returns app metadata and ignores the reviews setting, because Apple's review feed is keyed on an app id.

Two limits worth knowing up front. Apple's public review feed stops after ten pages, so about 500 reviews per app is the most anyone gets. And a search stops at 200 apps, which is Apple's number too.

📱 What App Store Scraper does

Two ways to use it, and they do different jobs.

Search. Give it habit tracker and you get the matching apps with their full metadata, up to 200 of them. This is the mode for finding apps you do not already know about.

Look up by ID. Give it numeric track ids (1232780281) or bundle ids (net.shinyfrog.bear) and you get those exact apps, with their customer reviews attached when includeReviews is on. This is the mode for watching apps you already care about. Links copied from the store work too: put them in startUrls and the id is read out of each one.

If you fill in both, the ids and links win and the search term is ignored.

Everything comes from Apple's own public endpoints, which is why there is no key to get and nothing to sign in to. The storefront is a run-level setting: one country per run, and it changes which apps you see, what they cost and which reviews come back.

📤 What you get back

A real row from a real run. The description, the screenshot lists and the device list are cut short here so the block stays readable:

🧾 Reading the output

App rows carry ok: true. Notes carry ok: false and an errorCode, and they are never charged.

The default table view shows app columns, so the review fields do not appear in it. Export the dataset, or open a row, to read them.

▶️ How to run it

1. Open App Store Scraper and click Try for free. 2. Either put a keyword into Search term, or put ids into App IDs or links into App Store links. Not both. 3. For reviews, use ids, tick Include reviews and set Max reviews per app. 4. Set Country / storefront if you want something other than us. 5. Click Start, then download the dataset as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the API.

💰 How much does it cost?

$0.09 per 1,000 apps, which is $0.00009 each. Flat on every Apify plan, no volume tiers.

You pay per app row. The reviews attached to a row are part of it, so pulling 500 reviews for an app costs the same as pulling none. Diagnostics are not charged.

Two hundred apps, which is the most a single search returns, is under two cents.

💡 What people use it for

• Watching a competitor's rating, version and release notes week to week, keyed on trackId.
• Pulling the most recent reviews for your own app into a spreadsheet or Notion, with the version

each reviewer was on.

• Sizing a category: search the keyword, sort the rows by userRatingCount, see who owns it.
• Checking the same app across storefronts, one run per country, to compare price and reception.
• Collecting screenshots and artwork for a competitive teardown.

🚧 What it does not do

• Reviews only in ID mode. A keyword search ignores the reviews setting.
• About 500 reviews per app. Apple's feed stops after ten pages, and no setting lifts it.
• 200 apps per search. Narrow the keyword and run it again for more.
• One storefront per run. Comparing countries means one run each.
• No ranking or chart position. Apple does not publish it here.
• No download or revenue figures. Nobody outside Apple has those.
• A zero review count is ambiguous. It means the run got no reviews back, which is usually

because the app has none, but a feed that did not answer looks the same on the row.

• Fields are missing where Apple leaves them out, which is often on smaller apps.
• No Google Play. The triage monitor linked below covers both stores.

🧭 Which app or review scraper do you need?

❓ Questions people ask

Do I need an Apple developer account or a key? No. These are Apple's public endpoints.

Why did includeReviews do nothing? It was a search run. Reviews need app ids or links.

Can I use a bundle id? Yes, in the same field as numeric ids. The row comes back with both.

How do I get reviews from another country? Set country and run it again. Reviews are per storefront.

Can I schedule it? Yes. A daily run on a handful of ids, deduped on reviewId, gives you a review stream without the app store.

Is scraping the App Store legal? This reads Apple's public endpoints. Reviews carry author names, which are personal data under GDPR and similar laws, so have a reason for holding them. Apify's write-up on the legality of web scraping is a good starting point, and we are not lawyers.

🆘 If something breaks

Open the Issues tab on the actor page. Send the search term or the app ids, the storefront, and the run ID. If a diagnostic row landed, its errorCode usually names the reason already.
