Google Play Reviews Scraper

Get an app's public Google Play reviews as structured JSON. Give it a Play Store URL or a bare package id, and you get every review with its star rating, text, date, app version, "helpful" votes and the developer's public reply if there is one. Every record also carries the app's free metadata: name, developer, average rating and total rating count. Works across any Play Store country and language, needs no browser, and runs from Apify's regular datacenter proxies.

Built for app-store monitoring, competitor research, release-quality tracking and feeding review data to AI agents. Only public review data is read; the only reviewer data collected is the display name shown on the review.

Field	Notes
appId, url	Google Play's package id and the app's public store URL
reviewId	Google Play's review id
rating	1–5 (number)
appVersion	App version the review was written against, when Google reports it

appScore, appRatingCount	The app's overall rating in that store, repeated on every record

A STATS record in the run's key-value store holds one summary per app: reviews delivered, errors, rating distribution and average rating of the delivered reviews. An app that cannot be found in a given country produces one record with an error field, which is not charged.

Input

Field	Default	Notes
apps	—	Play Store URLs or bare package ids, one per line
countries	["us"]	2-letter Play Store codes, e.g. us, gb, de
language	en	2-letter language code reviews and metadata are fetched in
maxReviewsPerApp	200	Cap per app, per country; up to 5000
sortBy	newest	newest, rating or helpfulness
proxyConfiguration	Apify datacenter	Google Play's review endpoint works fine from datacenter IPs; residential is rarely needed

{ "apps": ["https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Slack", "com.spotify.music"], "countries": ["us", "gb"], "maxReviewsPerApp": 300, "sortBy": "helpfulness" }

Pricing

Pay per review delivered. The app metadata on each record and in STATS is free, duplicates within a run are never charged, and an app that isn't found in a given country costs nothing.

Speed & cost

This is a plain HTTP actor (no browser), so it runs in roughly 30–60 seconds per 100 reviews. A 100-review run costs about $0.04 in review events (at $0.0004/review) plus roughly $0.01–0.05 of Apify platform usage for the run itself.

Typical uses

• Tracking user sentiment across app releases and versions
• Competitor and category monitoring across Play Store countries
• Mining low-rated reviews for bugs and support issues
• Giving an AI agent live customer feedback about an app
