?? Apple App Store iPad Scraper

?? Last updated: 2026-06-17 � 7 fields � Scalable to 1M+ results � 40+ countries

Pull structured iPad app data from the Apple App Store at scale. Search by keyword, browse top charts (free, paid, top grossing), or look up specific app IDs. Each result includes app name, developer, price, rating, review count, screenshots, and category - exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or JSONL.

?? Target Audience | Use Cases

?? What the Scraper Does

Scrapes the Apple App Store's iPad section for structured data. Three modes:

• Keyword search - find apps matching any search term
• Top charts - pull free, paid, or top grossing rankings by category and country
• App ID lookup - get full details for a list of specific app IDs

Filter by country (US, GB, JP, DE, and 40+ more). Output lands in the dataset ready for downstream tools.

?? Full Demo

Coming soon - a recorded walkthrough of setup, run, and output inspection.

?? Input

Example 1 - Keyword search:

{
"mode":"search",
"searchTerm":"meditation",
"country":"us",
"maxItems":50
}

Example 2 - Top charts:

{
"mode":"topCharts",
"chartType":"free",
"category":"6018",
"country":"jp",
"maxItems":100
}

?? Good to Know: All fields except mode are optional. If you omit searchTerm in search mode, the scraper returns the default top results for that country.

?? Output

Each result is one iPad app with these fields (all sourced from the App Store listing):

Sample output (1 record):

{
"appId":"1234567890",
"appName":"Calm - Meditate & Relax",
"developer":"Calm.com, Inc.",
"price":0,
"rating":4.8,
"reviewCount":1820000,
"category":"Health & Fitness",
"screenshots":["https://..."],
"description":"Calm is the #1 app for sleep and meditation...",
"version":"5.23.1",
"lastUpdated":"2026-06-10"
}

?? The output schema above is derived from the actor's input schema and metadata. The scraper currently has no recent completed runs, so field validation against live data is pending. Once a run completes, the output table will be updated with verified fields.
