the next page of reviews, and the per-call cost.

FAQ
Do I need an Apple developer account?
Do I need an Apple developer account?
No. AgentKey holds the upstream access; your agent only needs your AgentKey
subscription.
Can it reply to, flag or post reviews?
Can it reply to, flag or post reviews?
No. Every tool is read-only — search, listings and reviews. Nothing is
posted, answered or reported.
Can I read another country's storefront?
Can I read another country's storefront?
Yes. Every App Store tool takes a storefront country, so search results,
listings and reviews come back as users in that market see them, with the
price in that storefront’s currency. The same app on Android is covered by
the Google Play
tools, which take a package name instead of an app ID.
