## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## App Store API by APISH

Get public App Store data as clean, consistent JSON: app Store charts, app Store developer apps, app Store app details, app Store privacy labels, app Store reviews, app Store search and more. 8 endpoints, one response shape, numbers parsed, absolute URLs.

### How to use

1. Pick an **Endpoint**. Each option shows what it returns and its price in credits.
2. Enter its **Parameters** as JSON, for example `{"chart":"top-free"}`. All parameters are listed below.
3. Run. Each call becomes one row in the dataset. Use **Batch** to run the same endpoint for many inputs and **Pages per input** to follow pagination.

### Pricing

Pay per event: you pay per APISH credit the call used. The price of each endpoint is in the table below. Calls that fail on our side (server errors, timeouts, blocks) are free.

### Endpoints

| Endpoint | Returns | Required parameters | Credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| `/app-store/v1/charts` | App Store charts | — | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/developer` | App Store developer apps | `id` | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/lookup` | App Store app details | — | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/privacy` | App Store privacy labels | `app_id` | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/reviews` | App Store reviews | `app_id` | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/search` | App Store search | `q` | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/similar` | App Store similar apps | `app_id` | 1 |
| `/app-store/v1/versions` | App Store version history | `app_id` | 1 |

### Output

Each dataset row has `endpoint`, `params`, `status`, `credits_used` and the endpoint's data. Add `"raw": 1` to the parameters to also get the site's original record, or `"fields": "a,b.c"` to return only the fields you need.

### Endpoint details

# Actor input Schema

## `endpoint` (type: `string`):

Which App Store endpoint to call. Each option shows what it returns and its price in credits.

## `params` (type: `object`):

Query parameters for the endpoint, as JSON. See the README for every endpoint's parameters. Example: {"chart":"top-free"}

## `batch` (type: `array`):

Run the same endpoint for many inputs: a list of parameter objects. Each item is one call. Leave empty to use Parameters.

## `maxPages` (type: `integer`):

For paginated endpoints: follow next_cursor up to this many pages per input. 1 = first page only.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "endpoint": "/app-store/v1/charts",
  "params": {
    "chart": "top-free"
  },
  "batch": [],
  "maxPages": 1
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
