App Store reviews API

An App Store reviews API that reads Apple's public customer-reviews feed for one app and storefront: the star rating, the title, the full body, the author nickname, the app version reviewed, the timestamp and the helpful-vote counts, newest first. Pass a numeric app id or a store URL and the country you want to hear from.

What an App Store reviews API does

App Store Connect only shows the reviews for apps you own, and only after you authenticate. This reads the storefront's public RSS feed instead, so any app is fair game — a competitor's, a category leader's — with no account, no key and no relationship to the developer.

Reviews arrive fifty to a page, newest first, and Apple caps the feed at ten pages per storefront. That ceiling is why country is a first-class input: reading the same app across us, gb and de widens both the sample and the language mix, and the country you pass is also the proxy exit the feed is fetched from.

What one review looks like

Every delivered review carries these fields. Nullable means the source did not publish it — the field stays empty instead of being guessed.

Field	Type	What it holds
`rank`	integer	1-based position (newest first).
`app_id`	string	App id the review belongs to.
`country`	string	Storefront read.
`review_id`	string	Apple's review id.
`rating`	integer · nullable	Star rating 1–5.
`title`	string · nullable	Review title.
`text`	string · nullable	Review body.
`author`	string · nullable	Reviewer nickname.
`app_version`	string · nullable	App version reviewed.
`updated_at`	string · nullable	Review timestamp (ISO 8601).
`votes_helpful`	integer	Helpful votes.
`votes_total`	integer	Total votes.

Inputs

The whole request. Anything you leave out falls back to the default shown in the catalog.

Input	Type	Required	What it does
`app_id`	string	yes	Numeric App Store id or the app's store URL.
`country`	string	no	Storefront country (default us) — also the proxy exit.
`max_results`	integer	no	How many reviews to deliver at most (1–500). You pay only for delivered reviews.

What people build with the App Store reviews API

Three shapes of work this endpoint was designed around.

Competitor review mining

Read the recent reviews for an app you do not own and tag the themes behind its rating.

Release reaction

Filter incoming reviews by the app_version field to see how a specific build landed with users.

Localized sentiment

Run the same app across storefronts to compare complaints and praise by country and language.

FAQ

Questions we get about the App Store reviews API.

Something else? Ask us →

How is this different from the App Store Connect API?

Connect returns reviews only for apps on your own account and needs an authenticated key. This reads Apple's public reviews feed, so it works for any app by its id or store URL and never logs in — at the cost of the private depth Apple keeps for owners, which no public route exposes.

How many reviews can I pull for one app?

The feed serves fifty per page, newest first, and Apple stops it at ten pages per storefront. To go further, read the same app in another country; each storefront is a separate feed with its own reviews.

What do I pass to identify the app?

Either the numeric App Store id or the full apps.apple.com URL — the id is extracted from the URL. country then picks which storefront's reviews you read, defaulting to us.

Is there a free App Store reviews API?

Every account gets $2 of credit every month with no card, which is about 4,000 delivered reviews on this endpoint at $0.0005 each. It renews monthly, and a run that delivers nothing is never billed — so a failed or blocked attempt does not eat the allowance.

How much does one run cost?

Multiply the rows you actually receive by $0.0005. A run capped at 500 reviews — the maximum for this collector — costs $0.25 if every row comes back, and less when the source has fewer. Volume tiers take up to 30% off, and GET /v1/scraper/collectors returns the price your key actually pays.
