App Store Charts Scraper — Top Free, Paid & Grossing | $1/1K | No Key

ASO managers, app publishers, and mobile market analysts use this actor to track weekly chart movements, discover trending apps before they peak, and monitor competitor positions across countries.

$1.00 per 1,000 chart entries. A full 200-app chart costs $0.20. All 3 chart types across 10 countries = $0.60 total.

Worked example:

• Top 100 Free Apps (US) = 100 entries → $0.10
• Full 200-entry chart (any type, any country) → $0.20
• All 3 charts × 10 countries × 200 entries = 6,000 entries → $6.00

200 apps per chart — Apple's RSS supports up to 200 entries, more than any other source.

Top Grossing = revenue intelligence. The Grossing chart is the best proxy for app subscription/IAP revenue — investors and developers use it for competitive due diligence.

Scrape Apple App Store top charts: Top Free, Top Paid, or Top Grossing apps for any country. Uses Apple's open iTunes RSS API — no API key required. Pay per result.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or proxy? No. Apple's iTunes RSS chart feed is fully public — no auth, no proxy, zero setup.

What formats can I export? JSON, CSV, Excel, or JSONL — from the Apify dataset UI or REST API.

Can I schedule it to track weekly chart movements? Yes. Use Apify Scheduler to run weekly per country. Pair with a webhook to Slack or Google Sheets to build a chart-position history automatically.

What if it returns empty results? Apple's RSS occasionally returns an empty feed for certain country/genre combinations. The actor logs a warning and exits cleanly — no data is charged. Try the us storefront first to verify your genreId.

Limits

• Up to 200 apps per chart per country
• Supports all App Store country storefronts (us, gb, de, jp, au, ca, fr, etc.)
• Real-time data directly from Apple's RSS feed

vs. alternatives

(Verify competitor prices at publish time — adjust table accordingly.)

parse_confidence — every record carries a 0.0–1.0 data quality score. Score < 0.5 → check the warnings field.

Integrations

Built for ASO managers and mobile market analysts tracking chart positions and top-grossing revenue signals by country — the JSON/dataset output drops into the tools you already run, no glue code:

• n8n / Make / Zapier — trigger a run or pipe every new dataset item into 500+ apps (Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, HubSpot, your database) with no code: n8n, Make, Zapier.
• Webhooks — fire your own endpoint the moment a run finishes, to push results straight into your pipeline (docs).
• MCP server — expose this actor as a tool to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client so an AI agent can pull this data mid-conversation (guide).
• API & SDKs — fetch the dataset as JSON, CSV, or Excel through the Apify REST API or the Python / JS SDKs.
