Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Play Reviews Scraper — Android App Reviews Scrape customer reviews for **any Android app** from the Google Play Store — across countries and languages, sorted by newest, rating, or relevance. One clean JSON item per review, including developer replies. ### What you get per review - Star rating (1–5) and full review text - Reviewer name, review date, thumbs-up count - App version the review refers to - Developer reply text and date (when present) - App metadata: name, developer, overall rating, install count ### Who is this for? - **ASO & product teams** — track how releases land, catch bug-report spikes early - **Competitor research** — mine competitors' 1-star reviews for feature gaps - **Sentiment analysis / AI** — clean labeled text (rating + review) for training and dashboards - **Agencies** — automated review monitoring for client apps Need iOS coverage too? Use the companion [App Store Reviews Scraper](https://apify.com/darknezz/app-store-reviews-scraper) — same output shape, both platforms in one pipeline. ### Input ```json { "apps": ["com.whatsapp", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music"], "countries": ["us", "gb"], "language": "en", "sortBy": "newest", "maxReviewsPerApp": 200 } ```` Both package names and full Play Store URLs work. ### Output (one item per review) ```json { "appId": "com.whatsapp", "appName": "WhatsApp Messenger", "developer": "WhatsApp LLC", "country": "us", "rating": 1, "content": "After the update the app keeps crashing on startup...", "author": "Jane D", "thumbsUp": 41, "appVersion": "2.26.13.75", "createdAt": "2026-07-08T14:22:31", "replyContent": "Hi, please update to the latest version...", "repliedAt": "2026-07-09T09:02:11" } ``` ### Pricing Pay per event: a small fee **per review scraped**. No subscription — scrape 100 reviews or 100,000. ### FAQ **How many reviews can I get?** Unlike the iOS feed, Google Play pagination is effectively unlimited — the scraper walks continuation tokens until it hits your `maxReviewsPerApp`. **Does it include developer replies?** Yes — `replyContent` and `repliedAt` are included whenever the developer responded. # Actor input Schema ## `apps` (type: `array`): Android package names (e.g. com.whatsapp) or full Play Store URLs. ## `countries` (type: `array`): Play Store country codes (e.g. us, gb, de, ro). ## `language` (type: `string`): Review language code (e.g. en, de, ro). ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Review sort order. ## `maxReviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`): Maximum reviews to scrape per app per country. ## Actor input object example ```json { "apps": [ "com.whatsapp" ], "countries": [ "us" ], "language": "en", "sortBy": "newest", "maxReviewsPerApp": 100 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
