## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Apple Vision Pro App Scraper

**Scrape Apple Vision Pro apps from the App Store by keyword or app ID, up to a million per run.** Each app comes with its name, developer, rating, price, and category. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Apple's official App Store API needs an Apple Developer account, a paid membership, and rate limits. This reads the public Vision Pro app listings directly, filtered by keyword or app ID, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Who uses it | What they scrape Apple App Store for |
|---|---|
| Market researchers | Which Vision Pro apps are trending in a category |
| App developers | Competitor pricing and feature sets for Vision Pro apps |
| Journalists | New Vision Pro app launches and updates |
| Investors | Which Vision Pro apps are gaining traction |

### What it does

This Actor collects Apple Vision Pro apps from the App Store by search keyword or app ID, and returns each one as a flat row.

- 🔍 **Search by keyword:** find Vision Pro apps matching a term like 'craft' or 'game'.
- 🆔 **Lookup by app IDs:** get details for specific App Store app IDs.
- 🌍 **Country targeting:** set the App Store region with a two-letter country code.
- 📊 **Flat output:** each app is one row with name, developer, rating, price, and category.

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

### What you can do with Apple App Store data

**📈 Track Vision Pro app trends.**

A market researcher runs the Actor with a keyword like 'productivity' to see which Vision Pro apps are new and popular this week.

**💰 Monitor competitor pricing.**

An app developer looks up specific app IDs to compare prices and ratings for competing Vision Pro apps.

**📰 Report on new launches.**

A journalist searches for 'games' to find recently released Vision Pro apps and write a roundup.

**📊 Build a market dataset.**

An investor collects all Vision Pro apps in a category to analyze developer activity and user ratings.

### Why choose this scraper

|  | What you get |
|---|---|
| **No API key** | Scrape public App Store listings without registering an Apple Developer account |
| **Up to 1M apps** | Collect as many Vision Pro apps as you need in a single run |
| **Fixed schema** | Every app returns the same fields, ready for analysis |
| **Export anywhere** | CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML for your pipeline |

### How it compares

No other Store actor targets Apple App Store the same way, so the honest comparison is with the alternatives teams actually weigh.

| | Apple Vision Pro App Scraper | Build it in-house | By hand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setup | Run it now, zero config | Days of engineering | None, but hours per pull |
| When Apple App Store changes | Maintained for you | You fix it | You re-learn the page |
| Proxies, retries, anti-bot | Built in | Your problem | Browser only |
| Output | Fixed JSON schema, CSV/Excel export | Whatever you build | Copy-paste |
| Cost | Pay per result | Engineering time | Analyst hours |

### Configure the run

Drive the Actor from a search keyword or a list of app IDs, and set the country to target a specific App Store region. The Input tab lists every parameter.

A first run with the defaults:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 10,
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "craft",
  "country": "US"
}
```

A larger pull:

```json
{
  "maxItems": 200,
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "craft",
  "country": "US"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.01734 per result** collected. You pay only for the results written to your dataset.

| Results collected | Approximate cost |
|---|---|
| 100 results | $1.73 |
| 1,000 results | $17.34 |
| 10,000 results | $173.40 |

Free-plan runs return up to 10 results as a preview. [Upgrade your Apify plan](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp) to collect up to 1,000,000 results per run.

### Run it

1. [Create a free Apify account with $5 in credit](https://console.apify.com/sign-up?fpr=vmoqkp).
2. Open the [Apple Vision Pro App Scraper](https://apify.com/parseforge/apple-app-store-vision-scraper?fpr=vmoqkp).
3. Set your inputs and any filters, then click **Start**.
4. Export the results as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML from the **Dataset** tab.

### Use with AI agents (MCP)

Give an AI agent live access to Apple App Store through the Model Context Protocol. Add the Actor to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client:

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=parseforge/apple-app-store-vision-scraper"
```

Then prompt it in plain language to run the scraper and read back the results.

### Troubleshooting

**Why am I getting no results?**

Check your search keyword or app IDs. Make sure the country code is valid and the apps are available in that region. Try a broader keyword.

**The Actor returns fewer apps than maxItems.**

The App Store may not have more results for your query. Try a different keyword or remove filters.

**I get an error about invalid app IDs.**

App IDs must be numeric strings. Check that you entered the correct IDs and that they exist in the App Store.

**The country code is not working.**

Use a valid ISO two-letter country code, like US, GB, or DE. Some codes may not be supported by the App Store.

### FAQ

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Do I need an Apple Developer account to use this Actor? | No. The Actor reads public App Store listings, so no Apple Developer account or API key is required. |
| Can I scrape apps from a specific country? | Yes. Set the country input to a two-letter code like US, GB, or DE to target that App Store region. |
| How many apps can I collect in one run? | You can set maxItems up to 1,000,000. The Actor will collect apps until it reaches that number or no more results are available. |
| What is the difference between search and lookup mode? | Search mode finds apps by keyword, like 'craft'. Lookup mode takes a list of specific App Store app IDs and returns details for those apps. |
| What data does the Actor return for each app? | Each app row includes its name, developer, rating, price, category, and other fields from the App Store listing. |
| Can I export the results to Excel? | Yes. The Actor supports CSV, JSON, Excel, and XML export formats. |
| Does this Actor work for regular iPhone apps? | This Actor is designed for Apple Vision Pro apps. For other App Store apps, you may need a different scraper. |
| Is the data updated in real time? | The Actor reads the live App Store pages at the time of the run, so you get current data. |
| Can I schedule this Actor to run daily? | Yes. You can set up a schedule in Apify to run the Actor automatically at your chosen interval. |
| What if I get no results? | Check your search keyword or app IDs. Make sure the country code is valid and the apps are available in that region. |
