Extract user reviews and ratings for any Apple Podcasts show. Get rating, title, content, author, and helpful-vote counts for up to the most recent 500 reviews per country.
A scraper for Apple Podcasts that extracts user reviews and ratings for a specified podcast across Apple Podcasts storefronts. It harvests localized review feeds to produce per-review records containing numeric ratings, review titles, full review text, author name and profile link, helpful-vote counts, timestamps, storefront/country, and the associated podcast identifier. The connector supports multi-country retrieval (29+ regions including US, UK, Japan, Germany, Brazil, India), can sort by newest or most-helpful reviews, and fetches up to 500 reviews per podcast per country by paging through Apple’s customer-reviews feed without requiring a developer account or login.
