App Store Reviews (iTunes)

Deep single-app review collector for iOS / App Store apps: give it an app and a list of country storefronts and it loops every store, pulling each one's localized reviews and rating histogram. Apple retired the old itunes.apple.com customer-reviews RSS feed (it now returns an empty feed for every app), so this scraper reads the reviews Apple embeds in the public apps.apple.com product page and its "See All Reviews" view (structured serialized-server-data JSON — no API key, no HTML guessing). Each review item includes:

• star rating (1–5), review title and full text
• reviewer name, review ID and ISO review date
• app context on every item: app name, developer, genre, current version, price, overall average rating, total rating count and the full 1–5 star histogram (via the iTunes Lookup API + embedded page data)

Finding the app ID: it's the number after id in any App Store URL, e.g. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whatsapp-messenger/id310633997 → 310633997.

Honest limitation: Apple no longer exposes public review pagination without JavaScript, so expect ~10–20 of the most recent reviews per country store (helpful-vote counts and per-review app version are no longer published). Multiply coverage by listing more countries. To batch many apps at once in a single storefront, use the companion App Store Reviews Scraper instead.
