App Store Details reads one app's listing on Apple's App Store by `app_id` and returns its record: name, developer, bundle ID, description and release notes, current version, price, rating and rating count for all versions and for the current one, age rating, category, minimum OS version, install size, icon, and the first-release and last-update dates. Product managers, growth marketers and investors use it to benchmark competing apps, follow release cadence and see how a new version lands with users.

`app_id` is Apple's numeric ID, the number after id in the App Store link, and the full link works too. Listings are per storefront, so set `country` to the store you care about; it defaults to the US store. After a major update, `current_version_rating` reflects the app in its present form more accurately than the all-time `rating`. `price` is a number with its code in `currency`, while `formatted_price` is the text the store displays. `file_size_bytes` is in bytes, and a null `rating_count` means Apple does not disclose the number, which is different from zero ratings.

## Parameters

| name | type | required | default | description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| app_id | not declared | yes | not declared | Specifies Apple's numeric app identifier, such as the digits after id in an application link. You can also pass a full App Store app URL, and the platform will extract the numeric ID. Do not pass a Bundle ID in com.example.app format. |
| country | not declared | no | not declared | Selects the App Store storefront for search, profile, and reviews using a lowercase two-letter country code such as us, cn, or jp. The default is us. It changes the storefront being queried, not the account region or EveryInfra billing. |

## FAQ

### Where do I find the `app_id`?

On the app's App Store page: the digits after id in the link are the `app_id`, such as 389801252 from a link ending in id389801252. You can also pass the whole link, and the ID is extracted. A bundle ID such as com.example.app does not identify the app here; it comes back in `bundle_id` instead. App Store Search results carry the `app_id` as well.

### Why do the details change from one country to another?

Each App Store storefront is separate. `country` picks one with a lowercase code such as us, cn or jp, and the details are read from that store. An app can be listed in one storefront and missing from another, and its price and ratings can differ between stores, so record the storefront with every figure you compare.

### Should I use `rating` or `current_version_rating`?

`rating` and `rating_count` are the overall figures across versions, while `current_version_rating` and `current_version_rating_count` cover only the version now in the store. After a redesign or a fix for a widely reported bug, the current-version figures show how the app is received today. Check the count first, since a new version may have few ratings yet.
