Scrapes Apple App Store app data using the public iTunes Search API. Search by keyword, look up apps by ID, or pull top chart rankings. Returns 30+ fields per app — name, developer, ratings, price, genres, screenshots, version history, and more.

No authentication required. No browser needed. The iTunes API is public, fast, and returns everything in JSON.

What It Does

Three modes, pick the one that fits:

• Search — query by keyword across the entire App Store. Paginated; handles multi-page result sets automatically.
• Lookup — fetch specific apps by their iTunes app ID. Useful when you already know what you want.
• Charts — pull top free, paid, or grossing app rankings for any country.

All modes support country targeting via the country field, so you can pull data for the US, Japan, Germany, or anywhere else Apple sells apps.

Input

Example: search

{
"mode":"search",
"searchTerms":["photo editor","productivity"],
"country":"us",
"maxResults":50
}

Example: lookup by app ID

{
"mode":"lookup",
"appIds":["333903271","544007664"],
"country":"us"
}

Example: top charts

{
"mode":"charts",
"chartType":"topfreeapplications",
"country":"jp",
"maxResults":100
}

Output

One record per app. Most scrapers give you a handful of fields. This one gives you everything the iTunes API has.

Pricing

Pay-per-event. $0.10 to start a run, $0.001 per record saved.

Notes

• The iTunes API enforces a 200-result cap per request. For large keyword searches, the scraper pages through automatically using offset/limit pagination.
• Chart data from the RSS feed contains fewer fields than search/lookup results. The trade-off: charts are fast and single-request.
• Country targeting affects search rankings, pricing (currency), and available apps. Not all apps are available in all regions.
• The iTunes API has undocumented rate limits. The scraper uses a 200ms courtesy delay between requests and limits concurrency to 3.
