App Store Top Charts Scraper

Scrape top trending apps for both Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Extract top-ranked apps by category, country, device, and date — including download estimates, revenue estimates, ratings, publisher info, and pricing data.

What does the App Store Top Charts Scraper do?

This Actor retrieves app category ranking data for both iOS App Store and Google Play Store, covering 90+ countries and 100+ categories including all major app and game subcategories.

For each ranked app, the scraper returns:

• Rank position and previous rank (track movement over time)
• App name, app ID, and icon URL
• Publisher name and publisher ID
• Estimated worldwide monthly downloads (humanized, e.g., "400k")
• Estimated worldwide monthly revenue (humanized, e.g., "$600k")
• Price with currency and formatted value
• Rating score and rating count
• In-app purchases availability flag
• Ranking type — each request returns three top-25 charts: Top Free, Top Paid, and Top Grossing (up to 75 apps per request)
• App overview URL for each app

Use it to monitor competitor rankings, track market trends, benchmark app performance across regions, or build datasets for app market intelligence.

Rankings are updated at different time intervals: App Store rankings are accurate and updated hourly, while Google Play store rankings are updated daily.

Use cases

• Competitive intelligence — Track how competing apps rank across categories and countries over time.
• Market research — Identify top-performing apps in specific categories and regions.
• Trend analysis — Monitor ranking changes by date to spot emerging apps and declining ones.
• Investment research — Evaluate app revenue and download estimates for due diligence.
• ASO (App Store Optimization) — Understand category landscapes to inform keyword and positioning strategies.
