The App Store reviews API reads Apple's public customer-reviews feed for one app and returns each review as a structured row — star rating, title, full text, author nickname, the app version reviewed and the helpful-vote counts. Point it at an app id and a country and you get the reviews back newest-first, up to 500 in a run.
It reads Apple's own RSS reviews feed, so there is no login, no cookies and no browser. Apple serves that feed in pages of 50 and caps it at 10 pages per storefront — 500 reviews — which is why coverage is widened by running the same app_id across several country storefronts rather than expecting one call to return an app's entire history. Each country is a separate, independent read.
$0.0005 per delivered review, up to 500 reviews per run. Nothing delivered means nothing charged.
You send an app_id — the numeric id or the app's store URL — and optionally a country and max_results up to 500. The collector walks Apple's reviews feed for that storefront, 50 reviews per page, newest first, and returns flat rows.
Two structural facts shape how you use it:
country; the same app has a separate feed per storefront.app_version, so you can slice sentiment by release rather than lumping all history together.app_id is the only required input — a numeric App Store id or the app's store URL, which the collector normalises. country selects the storefront (and the matching exit); different storefronts are different review sets. max_results caps delivery at 500, the ceiling Apple's 10-page feed allows per country.
Each review is one flat row: rating (1–5), title, text, author, the app_version reviewed, an ISO updated_at timestamp and the votes_helpful/votes_total counts. app_id and country are stamped on every row so a multi-storefront pull stays self-describing in one table.
$0.0005 per delivered review ($0.50 per 1,000). Nothing delivered means nothing charged, and the $2 monthly free credit covers roughly 4,000 reviews here. Volume tiers take up to 30% off.
$0.0005 per delivered review, $0.50 per 1,000. A full 500-review storefront pull is a quarter, so tracking one app across ten countries — up to 5,000 reviews — is around $2.50 a run. You pay per review returned, so an app with few reviews in a storefront costs proportionally less.
The $2 monthly allowance (no card) covers about 4,000 delivered reviews, and volume tiers take up to 30% off. GET /v1/scraper/collectors returns your key's live price.
Apple's official route to review data is the App Store Connect API, and it has one decisive restriction: it returns reviews only for apps you own. It authenticates with your developer account and a signed JWT, and it exists so a team can read and respond to feedback on its own apps. There is no first-party API for reading reviews of an app you do not control.
This collector reads the public customer-reviews RSS feed Apple publishes for every app, so it works for competitors' apps and category research, not just your own — at the cost of the feed's own limits (50 per page, 10 pages per storefront). For your own apps you may still prefer Connect for its completeness and reply capability; for everyone else's, the public feed is the only route, and this turns it into clean rows.
Apple's reviews feed is a public URL, so DIY looks trivial until you run it at scale:
Prefer to keep your own fetcher and just want clean, per-country exits under it? That network is our residential proxies.
Pull an app's reviews and group by app_version to see whether a release moved sentiment, and read the text of the one-star reviews that spiked after it.
Because the public feed covers any app, run a competitor's app_id across storefronts to surface the features users praise and the bugs they hate — research Connect cannot give you.
Run the same app across country storefronts to compare ratings and complaints by market, which often diverge more than a single global average suggests.
Apple's feed returns 50 reviews per page and caps at 10 pages per storefront — 500 reviews per country, newest first. That is Apple's ceiling, not ours; wider or deeper history comes from reading more storefronts, not from a bigger single call. Only the fields Apple publishes appear — rating, title, text, author, version, timestamp and votes — and nothing is invented for a missing field. Runs parallelise up to your plan's rate limit — 60 a minute on pay-as-you-go, up to 1,200 on the top tier.
Legally: these reviews are published publicly by Apple, and reading public data is broadly lawful, but review text is user-generated content, Apple's terms restrict automated access, and rules vary by country. Background, not legal advice.
$2 of usage a month with no card, which at $0.0005 per review is about 4,000 delivered reviews. Apple's App Store Connect API is free but only returns reviews for apps you own; this public-feed collector works for any app.
No. Your QuantumProxies API key is the only credential. There is no Apple Developer registration and no signed JWT, because this reads the public RSS reviews feed rather than App Store Connect.
Up to 500 per country — Apple serves the feed in 10 pages of 50 and stops there. To collect more, read additional country storefronts; each has its own feed, and running several is how you widen coverage.
Yes. The public customer-reviews feed exists for every app, not just your own, so any numeric app_id or store URL works. That is the main thing this collector does that Apple's own-apps-only Connect API cannot.
