🎡 iTunes & Apple Search Scraper β€” Music, Podcasts & Apps

Search the official Apple iTunes API for music, podcasts, apps, audiobooks, movies, TV shows, music videos and ebooks β€” and get rich, structured metadata on every result: titles, artists, prices, genres, ratings, artwork and preview/view URLs. It's the Apple catalog as clean data across any country store, with no API key, no proxy and no browser β€” just a keyword and a media type. Export to JSON/CSV/Excel, run on a schedule, call via API, or connect to Make, Zapier or n8n.

🎡 What is the iTunes Scraper?

It turns any iTunes search into a structured dataset. Give it a search term, a media type and a country store, and it returns matching results straight from Apple's official iTunes Search API β€” songs, albums, podcasts, apps, ebooks and more β€” with full metadata, artwork and links. Because it calls the official API directly, runs finish in seconds and need no proxy or browser, so media catalogs, discovery tools and content databases get reliable Apple data without scraping fragile pages.

What data does it extract?

  • kind (song, podcast, software, ebook, …), track_name, artist_name, collection_name
  • track_price, collection_price and currency
  • primary_genre, release_date and store country
  • track_time_millis, disc_count, track_count
  • description, content_advisory_rating
  • average_user_rating and user_rating_count
  • artwork_url and preview_url
  • track_view_url, artist_view_url, collection_view_url
  • track_id, collection_id, artist_id, plus search_query and scraped_at

⬇️ Input

Search any media type across any country store:
