## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Play Developer Apps Scraper — Every Android App by a Publisher

**List everything one publisher ships on Google Play** — the whole catalogue, with ratings and prices attached — starting from any single app they made.

**Quick start:** press **Start** with no configuration at all. The Actor ships with one seed app and returns that publisher's full catalogue immediately. Then paste in the app or the developer you care about.

### Sample output

| developer | title | score | priceText | summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Netflix, Inc. | Netflix | 4.4 | Free | Watch TV shows and movies |
| Netflix, Inc. | Netflix Games | 4.3 | Free | Play mobile games with no ads |

Every row also carries `appId`, `url`, `developerId`, `scoreText`, `price`, `currency`, `free`, `icon` and `country`.

### Why you do not need the developer's exact name

Google Play identifies a publisher by an exact string — `Netflix, Inc.`, comma and full stop included. Get it slightly wrong and you get nothing back, and there is nowhere obvious to look it up.

So this Actor takes **either**. Pass a package name or a Google Play URL and it resolves the publisher for you first, then pulls the catalogue. Pass the developer name directly if you already know it. Mix both in one list. Whatever you pass, the resolved publisher is recorded in `SUMMARY` so you have the exact string for next time.

### What you can do with it

- **Map a competitor's whole portfolio.** One call, every app, with ratings — including the small experiments that never get written about.
- **Track a publisher over time.** Schedule it and you have a launch and retirement history for any developer on the store.
- **Due diligence.** Before partnering with or acquiring an app studio, see everything they actually ship and how it is rated.
- **Find the studios behind the apps you like.** Start from an app you rate and see what else the same people built.
- **Feed an AI agent.** Rows are under 1 KB, consistently shaped and identical across runs.

### Input

| Field | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `developersOrApps` | `["com.netflix.mediaclient"]` | Package names, Google Play URLs, or developer names exactly as the store prints them. Mix freely. |
| `countries` | `["us"]` | Two-letter storefront codes. Catalogues differ by country — publishers release regionally. |
| `language` | `en` | Independent of country. |
| `maxAppsPerDeveloper` | `100` | Per developer per country. Google Play publishes at most 200. |

A developer who publishes nothing in a requested country is reported in the log and in `SUMMARY`, and the run still succeeds with everything else.

### Limits worth knowing before you buy

Google Play publishes at most 200 apps on a developer page, so a very large publisher may be truncated — `SUMMARY` tells you how many rows each developer returned so you can see when you have hit the ceiling.

The developer string is Google's, not ours. Two studios with similar names are two different publishers, and passing the wrong one returns that publisher's catalogue rather than an error. Seeding with an app instead of a name removes that risk entirely, which is why it is the default.

### Pricing

Pay per app delivered. A developer with no apps in the requested store charges you nothing.

### Disclaimer

This is an **unofficial** tool. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or in
any way officially connected to Google LLC. "Google Play", "Android" and "Google" are
trademarks of Google LLC.

It reads only **public, unauthenticated** Google Play pages — the developer page
(`/store/apps/developer`) and the app listing (`/store/apps/details`). Neither path is
disallowed by `play.google.com/robots.txt`. It signs into nothing, stores no credentials,
and returns nothing behind a login or a paywall.

Google can change the page structure at any time. When a developer page cannot be read, this
Actor says so in the log rather than handing you an empty result that looks like an answer.

# Actor input Schema

## `developersOrApps` (type: `array`):

Each entry can be a package name (com.netflix.mediaclient), a Google Play URL, or the developer name exactly as Google Play prints it ("Netflix, Inc."). Anything that looks like an app is resolved to its developer first, so you never need to know the exact publisher string.

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Two-letter country codes of the storefronts to read. Stores differ by country — rankings, prices and reviews are all per-country — so add countries to widen the result rather than raising the per-app limit.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Two-letter language code for the text Google Play returns (titles, descriptions, review text). Independent of country: you can read the Thai store in English with country=th and language=en.

## `maxAppsPerDeveloper` (type: `integer`):

How many apps to return for each developer in each country. Google Play publishes at most 200 per developer page, so values above that are capped.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "developersOrApps": [
    "com.netflix.mediaclient",
    "Spotify AB"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "us",
    "gb",
    "de"
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "maxAppsPerDeveloper": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `rows` (type: `string`):

One row per app in the catalogue: title, rating, price, summary and the developer it belongs to.

## `summary` (type: `string`):

What was requested, what was delivered, and the per-request counts behind it — enough to check a run without reading every row.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "developersOrApps": [
        "com.netflix.mediaclient"
    ],
    "countries": [
        "us"
    ],
    "language": "en",

};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("appdata-labs/google-play-developer-apps").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "developersOrApps": [
    "com.netflix.mediaclient"
  ],
  "countries": [
    "us"
  ],
  "language": "en",
  "maxAppsPerDeveloper": 100
}' |
apify call appdata-labs/google-play-developer-apps --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,appdata-labs/google-play-developer-apps"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
