App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper API

App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper extracts app reviews, star ratings and app details from the Apple App Store and Google Play in one run, in one unified format. Paste App Store URLs or IDs and Google Play URLs or package names, click Start, and download the reviews as JSON, CSV or Excel. Turn on monitoring mode to get only new reviews since the last run, which makes it an easy app review monitoring and alert tool.

What can this app review scraper do?

• 🍏🤖 Both stores in one Actor: iOS App Store reviews and Android Google Play reviews, mixed freely in one input.
• 📝 Review data: rating, title, text, date, username, app version, helpful votes and developer reply.
• 📱 App details: title, developer, rating, ratings count, rating histogram, installs, price, version, last update, release notes, genre, content rating and screenshots.
• 🔔 Only new reviews mode remembers the newest review per app, so a daily schedule returns just what changed.
• 🌍 Country and language selection, a date filter (reviewsSince) and per-app limits.
• ⚡ Fast and cheap: about 1,200 reviews in under 10 seconds, at $0.30 per 1,000 reviews.
• 🔒 Public data only. No login, no cookies, no app developer account.

Why use it?

• App review analysis and sentiment: feed reviews into a spreadsheet, BI tool or LLM to find bugs, feature requests and churn reasons.
• ASO and competitor research: compare ratings, histograms and release notes for your app and competitors.
• Review alerts: send new 1-star reviews to Slack or email for faster customer support.
• Datasets: build app store review datasets for machine learning and research.

On the Apify platform you also get scheduling, API access, monitoring, integrations and proxy rotation without managing servers.

How much does it cost to scrape app reviews?

Pay only for results: $0.30 per 1,000 reviews and $0.002 per app details record. No monthly rental. Each run also has a $0.005 start fee (from October 25, 2026).

Job	Approximate cost
1,000 reviews for one app	about $0.30
10 apps × 500 reviews + app details	about $1.52
Daily new-review monitor for 5 apps (≈50 new reviews/day)	about $0.60 per month (including start fees)

Apify's free plan includes monthly credits, enough for thousands of reviews. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops at that limit.

How to use the API (Python, JavaScript, cURL)

Every run is available through the Apify API. Get your API token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("best_apis/app-store-play-reviews").call(run_input={"apps": ["570060128", "com.duolingo"], "maxReviewsPerApp": 100})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript / Node.js

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('best_apis/app-store-play-reviews').call({"apps": ["570060128", "com.duolingo"], "maxReviewsPerApp": 100});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL (run and get reviews in one request)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/best_apis~app-store-play-reviews/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"apps": ["570060128", "com.duolingo"], "maxReviewsPerApp": 100}'

Integrations

Connect results to Google Sheets, Slack, email, Zapier, Make, n8n, Airbyte, webhooks or AI agents through the Apify MCP server. Use Schedules in Apify Console to run it hourly, daily or weekly. Export any dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML.

FAQ

How do I export Google Play reviews to CSV or Excel? Run the Actor and choose CSV or Excel in the Export menu of the dataset, or add &format=csv to the API dataset URL.

Is there an App Store reviews API? Apple offers no public reviews API for other developers' apps. This Actor works as an App Store reviews API: call it over HTTP and get JSON back.

How many App Store reviews can I get? Apple's public review feed returns up to about 500 of the most recent reviews per app per country. Run more countries to get more. Google Play has no such limit.

Can I get only new reviews? Yes. Enable Monitoring mode and schedule the Actor. Use a different Monitor name for each schedule.

Can I scrape reviews in other languages or countries? Yes. Set Country for both stores and Language for Google Play.

Is it legal to scrape app reviews? This Actor only collects publicly available data, does not log in and does not bypass paywalls. Scraping public data is generally legal, but personal data is protected by laws such as GDPR and CCPA, and you are responsible for how you use the results. If unsure, ask a lawyer. Read more in Apify's guide to the legality of web scraping.
