How does the Apple App Store scraper API work?

The Parseium Apple App Store scraper API works by extracting structured data from App Store pages using a custom parser you create.

How it works

  1. Create a parser: Define the data fields you want to extract from the App Store (app names, ratings, reviews, prices, etc.)
  2. Configure extraction: Our AI helps you build CSS selectors and extraction rules for your target data
  3. Get an API endpoint: Your parser becomes a REST API endpoint you can call with any App Store URL
  4. Extract data: Send App Store URLs via our scrape endpoint or HTML via our parse endpoint
  5. Receive structured data: Get back clean, type-safe JSON data matching your schema

Key features

  • Always-warm browsers: Sub-second response times with pre-warmed browser instances
  • Built-in proxies: Managed proxy rotation included—no need to manage your own
  • Type-safe schemas: AI-generated schemas ensure consistent, validated output
  • Custom fields: Extract exactly the data you need, nothing more
  • JavaScript rendering: Full support for dynamic App Store content

The API handles all the complexity of browser automation, proxy management, and data extraction so you can focus on using the data.
