How to use it: 3 steps

Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: pdf scanner in Search terms. Each start is one run.
Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Search the Apple App Store for many keywords in many countries in one run and get a ranked list of apps with rating, price, version and developer — or look up exact apps by App ID, App Store URL or bundle ID. The data comes from Apple's official iTunes Search & Lookup API. No login, no API key, no browser.

Search mode (mode: search). Each term is searched in each country. Every term × country pair becomes its own ranked list: rank 1, 2, 3… Every row also carries its term and country, so you can put many keywords and markets in one table.
Lookup mode (mode: lookup). You give App IDs, App Store URLs or bundle IDs. The Actor returns the app details for each ID in each country you choose. An ID that is not in a country's store gets a clear not_found row. It is never silently dropped.

Good for

Check which apps rank for a keyword in several countries in one run.
Watch where your app and your competitors rank for your main keywords.
Get fresh details (rating, version, price, size) for a list of known apps.
Check in which countries an app is available. Missing countries get not_found rows.

Not a good fit

No downloads, installs, revenue or keyword search volume. Apple does not publish them, and this Actor does not estimate them.
No reviews and no top charts. For reviews, use Apple App Store Reviews Scraper.
rank is the position in Apple's Search API results. It is close to the search order in the App Store app, but not always the same.
Up to 200 apps per term and country. This is Apple's maximum, and Apple often returns a few fewer.

Price

Pay per event: you pay for each result the tool saves, plus a small start fee for each run. The price includes Apify platform costs. Apify bills you, not us. Prices below are for the Apify free plan.

What you pay for	Price	When
Start fee	$0.003	Charged once per run. This tool uses 1 GB of memory or less by default; more memory costs more.
App Store query answered	$0.0003	One search (term × country) or one lookup batch (up to 100 IDs × country) that Apple answered, even with no apps. Failed or skipped queries are free.
App row	$0.0012 (from $0.00075 on paid Apify plans)	One app with full details stored in the dataset. not_found and error rows are free.

Examples

One app: about $0.0042.
1,000 apps: about $1.20.
Every day 100 apps, for 30 days: about $3.69 a month.

Free to try: the Apify free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. That is enough for about 4,100 apps.

Prices checked on 24 October 2026. See the current price on Apify.

Questions

Why is the rank different on my iPhone?

The App Store app can personalise results and show ads. The API order is close, but not the same.

Can I get downloads or revenue?

No. Apple does not publish those numbers.

Do I need an Apple account?

No. It uses Apple's public iTunes Search API.

Am I charged for missing apps?

No. Not-found and error rows are free.

How fresh is the data?

Each row is fetched live from Apple during the run (fetchedAt). Apple may cache its own answers for up to a day, so a rating or version can lag slightly behind the App Store page.

Tips for better results

Put many terms and countries in one run to save time.
Schedule a daily run and compare ranks over time.
Filter not_found rows to see where an app is missing.

Limits and good to know

Up to 50 terms and 50 countries, and at most 100 term × country searches per run
Up to 500 App IDs and bundle IDs together. At most 100 lookup batches per run (up to 100 IDs per batch, per country)
Up to 200 apps per search. Apple often returns a few fewer, and the Actor never pads results
Give the run a timeout of at least 60 seconds (the default is 300)
The Actor waits at least half a second between requests to Apple, with at most 3 requests at a time. A run stops calling Apple after about 4 minutes, even with a longer timeout. Unfinished queries are listed as NOT_PROCESSED rows
If Apple slows the Actor down (HTTP 429 or 403), it waits and slows its pace. After 8 such answers in one run it stops calling Apple. It also stops after 2 failed requests in a row or 4 failed requests in total. The rows already stored stay, and the rest are listed as NOT_PROCESSED
If Apple rejects a country code, the Actor does not send other queries for that country. They are listed together in one error row per country, with the terms or IDs in queryIds
Data comes from Apple's public iTunes Search API. Apple's terms apply to its use. App names, icons and screenshots belong to their owners
