Need to feed app store metadata scraper (apple + google play) into your pipeline? Thirdwatch's App Store Metadata Scraper (Apple + Google Play) turns it into structured rows — the fields you need, ready to export.

Skip the setup: Run this as a ready-to-go task on Apify — pre-loaded with the configuration from this guide.

Why Data-pipeline works

A recurring feed beats a one-off pull — wire the Actor once and let fresh rows land where your tools read them. This guide shows the configuration that pulls app store metadata scraper (apple + google play) data from App Store Metadata Scraper (Apple + Google Play).

How does this compare to the alternatives?

Manual copy-paste works for a handful of rows; dedicated per-site scrapers on other platforms either gate the same data behind sign-in or charge flat monthly fees regardless of usage.

Why this Actor

  • Purpose-built for App Store Metadata Scraper (Apple + Google Play) — no generic crawling config to tune
  • Pay-per-result pricing — you pay only for rows that come back
  • Structured output ready for JSON/CSV export or API consumption
  • No login, cookies, or API keys needed for the public surfaces it reads

How to do it in 3 steps

Step 1: Configure the input

Set the inputs as shown below — targets takes the targets, and the optional fields bound the run size.

Step 2: Run the Actor

Run it from the console, the API, or the linked saved task. One dataset row is written per record.

Step 3: Use the output

Every row carries the fields shown in the sample — export as JSON, CSV, or feed it straight into your pipeline.

{
  "targets": [
    "com.whatsapp",
    "389801252"
  ],
  "country": "us"
}

Each dataset row looks like:

{
  "url": "https://example.com/item/1",
  "title": "Example result"
}

What to watch for

Rate the targets reasonably — large batches benefit from modest concurrency. Source sites may throttle heavy bursts; retry once and widen filters if a target surface is thin.

Frequently asked questions

What does App Store Metadata Scraper (Apple + Google Play) return?

One dataset row per result — with the fields shown in the sample output. Export as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

How do I control run size?

`targets` selects the targets and the max/limit fields bound how many rows come back. Start small, then scale.

Can I run this on a schedule?

Yes — save it as a task and attach a schedule in Apify Console for daily/weekly pulls.

Is this data public?

The Actor collects publicly visible data only — the same information a logged-out visitor sees.

What formats can I export?

JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or direct API access to the dataset — plus webhooks and integrations.

What if a run returns fewer rows than expected?

The source limits some results; retry once, and widen the query or filters if the target surface is genuinely thin.
