Google Play Category Apps Scraper — app leads by category
Get the apps in any Google Play category as a lead list — install counts, ratings, genre, last update, and the developer's published email and website for every app. Filter to the apps big enough to matter, or to the ones with a contact email, and pay only for the apps that pass.
Quick start: press Start with no configuration at all. It reads the Health & Fitness category in the US store and returns 20 apps with their full details in well under a minute. Then pick your categories and countries.
Sample output
| category | country | categoryPosition | title | installs | developerEmail |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HEALTH_AND_FITNESS | us | 1 | Samsung Health | 1,000,000,000+ | noreply.sec@samsung.com |
| HEALTH_AND_FITNESS | us | 2 | Planet Fitness | 10,000,000+ | PFMobileAppSupport@abcfinancial.com |
| HEALTH_AND_FITNESS | us | 3 | AllTrails: Hike, Bike & Run | 50,000,000+ | android-support@alltrails.com |
| FINANCE | gb | 2 | Wise - Global Money | 50,000,000+ | support@wise.com |
Read from the live store on 24 October 2026; your run returns whatever the pages list that day.
Every row also carries appId, url, summary, minInstalls, ratings, reviews, histogram, price, offersIAP, adSupported, genre, contentRating, released, updated, version, developerWebsite, privacyPolicy, country and more — the same record as our Google Play App Details Actor.
Who this is for
- B2B sales and partnerships building a list of app companies in a vertical — every fintech app in the UK store, with the contact the developer published on Google Play.
- Market researchers sizing a category: how many apps, how big, how recently updated.
- Investors and analysts watching which apps sit at the top of a category, market by market.
- AI agents asked "find me fitness apps with over a million installs" — rows are compact, consistently shaped, and the filters do the narrowing before anything is charged.
Filters that save you money
| Filter | What it keeps |
|---|---|
minInstalls: 1000000 | Apps with at least a million installs (lower bound of Google Play's install band) |
onlyWithDeveloperEmail: true | Apps whose listing publishes a developer contact email |
Filters run before charging. An app the filter removes, or whose listing could not be read, costs you nothing — the run summary says how many were removed and why.
Input
| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
categories | ["HEALTH_AND_FITNESS"] | Category IDs or store names ("Health & Fitness"). TOP for the overall top-charts page. An unknown category is skipped with a reason. |
countries | ["us"] | Each country has its own category pages, so the same category returns different apps. |
language | en | Text language, independent of country. |
maxAppsPerCategory | 20 | Up to 100. About 1.5 seconds per app. |
minInstalls | 0 | See filters above. |
onlyWithDeveloperEmail | false | See filters above. |
An app listed in two of your categories is returned once, under the first.
How it works, and its limits
The list of apps comes from the category pages Google Play shows a shopper, and each app's details from its public listing page. It does not use Google Play search or Google Play's internal API — both are disallowed to automated clients by Google Play's robots.txt, and this Actor follows that. The trade-off: a category page lists roughly 30 to 90 apps, not the whole category. For a wider list, add countries — each store's page is different — or seed our Google Play Similar Apps and Developer Apps Actors with what you find here.
categoryPosition is the app's position on the category page, which mixes Google Play's own sections; it is a useful signal of prominence, not an official chart rank.
The developer email and website are what each developer chose to publish on their Google Play listing. Use them in line with the privacy and anti-spam rules that apply to you.
Pricing
Pay per app returned. Apps removed by your filters, and apps whose listing could not be read, are not charged. Duplicates across categories are dropped before anything is counted.
