Google Play Reviews Scraper

Extract raw Google Play Store reviews from up to 20 apps in one run and export them to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or the Apify API.

Enter Android package names or Google Play URLs. The Actor paginates each app independently and returns one dataset item per unique review, including rating, text, author, avatar, date, likes, app version, and developer reply.

Launch price: $0.10 per 1,000 delivered reviews. A 100-review test run costs $0.01005 including the Actor-start event.

Need iPhone or iPad reviews instead? Use the Apple App Store Reviews Scraper, with the same multi-app input and per-review price.

  "maxResultsPerApp": 1000,
  "sort": "newest",

Rating filters are applied after each Google Play page is fetched. A narrow filter may require more source pages than the final number of results.

How to use

2. Paste an Android package name or Google Play app URL.

4. Click Start.
5. Open the Dataset tab and export to CSV, JSON, Excel, XML, RSS, or access the dataset through the Apify API.

If the Actor saved you time, please leave an honest review on its Apify Store page. Feedback about missing fields or difficult inputs is equally useful and helps improve the product.

Pricing

The launch target is $0.0001 per delivered review using Apify Pay Per Event.

You pay for dataset rows, not requested rows or source pages. If your run budget is reached, the Actor stops before delivering unpaid reviews.

Examples at the launch target:

Delivered reviews	Result charge
100	$0.01
1,000	$0.10
10,000	$1.00

Apify platform charges and plan rules may also apply. Check the live Pricing tab for the authoritative current price.

Use cases

• Product teams: collect user complaints and feature requests for downstream analysis.
• App developers: track review changes after releases.
• Market researchers: compare ratings and review language across competing apps.
• Customer support: identify reviews with developer responses.
• Data teams: create reproducible review datasets by locale.
• Agencies: export client app feedback to Google Sheets, BI tools, or warehouses.

Integrations

Use Apify integrations to send reviews to:

• Google Sheets
• Make
• Zapier
• n8n
• Slack
• Webhooks
• Airbyte
• LangChain or custom RAG pipelines
• Any application through the Apify REST API

Technical behavior

• Uses Google Play's internal review RPC (UsvDTd).
• Does not require Google login or user-provided cookies.
• Does not require a proxy under normal conditions.
• Requests up to 150 source reviews per page.
• Deduplicates by reviewId across all pages.
• Stops if a page repeats IDs, preventing silent pagination loops.
• Retries transient 403, 408, 429, and 5xx responses with exponential backoff.
• Pushes results incrementally, so completed pages remain available if a later page fails.
• Couples each dataset write to the review billing event atomically.

Google Play is an external service and may change its internal protocol. Runs can also return fewer reviews than requested when an app has limited public review history for the selected locale.

FAQ

Can I use a full Google Play URL?

Yes. The Actor extracts the id query parameter automatically. Package names such as com.spotify.music also work directly.

Does it support every public Android app?

It is designed for public listings that expose reviews in Google Play. Removed, private, region-blocked, or review-free apps may return no rows.

Are the reviews unique?

Yes. The Actor deduplicates every page by Google Play's stable reviewId. It also stops if pagination unexpectedly repeats a page.

Can I fetch only one-star reviews?

Yes. Set both minRating and maxRating to 1.

Why can a filtered run fetch many pages?

Google applies sort and locale at the source. Rating ranges are filtered locally, so the Actor keeps paginating until it collects the requested number, exhausts the source, reaches the budget, or detects repetition.

Does it include developer responses?

Yes, when Google Play returns one. The nested object includes developer name, reply text, Unix timestamp, and ISO date.

Does it perform sentiment analysis?

No. It intentionally returns raw source data. You can classify or summarize it with your preferred model or analytics stack.

Do I need a proxy or Google account?

No proxy, login, cookies, or Google API key are required for normal runs.

Can I schedule recurring collection?

Yes. Use Apify Schedules and store reviewId in your downstream system to identify newly observed reviews.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Explanation / solution
No results	Confirm the app is public and has reviews in the selected country/language
Fewer results than requested	The review history or selected rating range may be exhausted
Invalid app ID warning	Use a package name or URL containing ?id=package.name
Run stops after a repeated page	Pagination returned no new IDs; stopping prevents duplicate charges
Run stops at a round budget boundary	maxTotalChargeUsd was reached; increase the run budget if desired
Temporary HTTP error	The Actor retries transient errors automatically; rerun if Google remains unavailable

Responsible use
