Apple App Store Scraper
apps.apple.com
The Apple App Store is served through a dedicated plugin endpoint with three modes rather than the generic page fetch. In app mode, give it an app - a numeric id like 310633997, id310633997, an apps.apple.com URL or a bundle id like com.spotify.client - and it returns the listing already parsed: title and subtitle, the developer with its id and website, the price, currency and free flag, the star rating with its rating count and the 1-5 star histogram, the content and age rating, genres, release date, last update, the current version with its release notes and the version history, the size in bytes, the minimum iOS version, languages, the description, icon, screenshots and preview videos, the in-app purchases with their prices, the privacy labels, the app's rank in its top chart and the apps the store lists as similar. In search mode, give it a term like 'vpn' and it returns up to 200 matching apps, each with id, title, developer, price, rating, rating count, genres and version. In reviews mode it returns the app's customer reviews, newest or most helpful first, each with title, text, star rating, author, date, the app version reviewed and helpful votes. Prices, ratings and reviews are per store country, picked with country, and no Apple developer account or API key is involved.

}Frequently asked questions
Is it legal to scrape the Apple App Store?
Collecting publicly available App Store data such as app titles, prices, ratings and reviews is lawful in many jurisdictions, but the rules depend on your country, the data you collect and how you use it. Reviewer names and review text can be personal data, so follow the privacy rules that apply to you. ScrapeUnblocker returns the public store data; what you collect and how you use it is your responsibility.
How do I scrape the App Store without getting blocked?
Apple limits how many calls one address may make to its store, and its review feed now and then serves a page empty. The /apps/app-store plugin fetches every Apple page through ScrapeUnblocker's rotating exits and fetches it again when it comes back blocked or empty. In ScrapeUnblocker's benchmark it returned real data on 100% of 1,212 calls with different apps, search terms and store countries, about 2.1s per call: app details 618 calls across 42 store countries at about 2.4s, search 300 calls at about 2.2s and reviews 294 calls at about 1.4s.
How many App Store reviews can I get?
Apple serves at most 500 reviews per app per store country and sort order, 50 to a page across 10 pages. Set max_results up to 500 to collect them in one call, sort them mostrecent or mosthelpful, and continue later with page set to the nextPage of the previous response; when the last page was only partly used, nextPage points at it again, so skip review ids you already have. Asking another store country or the other sort order reaches further reviews. Developer replies are not included.
Do I need an Apple developer account or App Store API?
No. The plugin returns app details, search results and reviews as JSON without an Apple developer account, App Store Connect access or API key on your side. Identify the app with its numeric id such as 310633997, id310633997, an apps.apple.com URL or a bundle id such as com.spotify.client, and your ScrapeUnblocker key is the one credential you need.
Can I scrape the App Store for a specific country or language?
Yes. Set country to the store as an ISO-2 code (default us, or the country in an App Store URL you pass), and prices, ratings, chart ranks and reviews come back for that store. Set lang, such as fr or fr-CA, for the listing language where a store offers several. An app that is not sold in that country answers 404. You can also set proxy_country to pick the exit country, or leave it blank and ScrapeUnblocker picks the exit.
How much does it cost to scrape the App Store?
In app and search mode each call is one request: one app in full, or up to 200 matching apps. In reviews mode each 50-review page served is one request, so 100 reviews is 2 requests and 500 is 10, and pagesFetched shows the exact number. 1 request = 1 credit, EUR 1.00 per 1,000 on pay as you go, down to about EUR 0.55 per 1,000 on the Ultimate plan. Blocks and timeouts are not billed, and the free trial includes 500 requests with no card.
