# App Store App Reviews API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/app_store/app-reviews)

> Returns a unified ReviewList of Apple App Store user reviews for an app, keyed by its numeric `app_id` (on every review's `entity_id`). Each review carries the star rating, full text, review title, reviewer name, and publish date — on the SAME canonical `Review` shape used by Amazon, Google Shopping, and Trustpilot. Apple reviews have no avatar, helpful-vote count, or developer responses (those are null). `depth` returns reviews in batches of 50 (max 600). Sourced from DataForSEO's task-based App Data API.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/app_store/app-reviews` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.
