App Store App Info API
Scrape App Store App Info data with one API call. Returns the full canonical `App` record for one Apple App Store app keyed by its numeric `app_id`: title, subtitle, description, developer (including public website), rating, price, category, original release date, version, minimum iOS version, size, screenshots, supported languages, age advisories, similar apps, and update date. The `app.store` field is always "app_store"; Google-only leaves (installs, developer email/address) are null. Get the `app_id` from /v1/app_store/app-search.
Last updated October 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
Returns one App Store app by numeric id: subtitle, description, developer and website, rating, price, category, first release date, version, minimum iOS, size, screenshots, and age advisories.
Use it when you already have an app_id and need the detail that search results leave out.

What can you do with the App Info API?
The App Info endpoint gives you structured App Store data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/app_store/app-info: 5 credits per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 27: this endpoint's measured p99 latency x 1.5.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.
