## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Play App & Developer Email Scraper

Build lists of **Android app publishers with their contact emails**. Search Google Play by keyword (or paste app IDs / developer pages) and get every app's **developer email, website, address and privacy policy**, plus installs, rating, genre, price, ads/in-app purchases and last update date.

**$3 per 1,000 apps — developer email included.** No login, no API key.

### Why it's great for outreach

Google Play requires every developer to publish a support email, so **almost every app comes with a real contact address**. Combine that with installs, rating and *updated within N days* filters and you get a clean list of active publishers in any niche — in minutes.

Google Play search only returns ~30 apps per keyword. This scraper also follows each app's **Similar apps** to grow lists into the hundreds or thousands, and can search several country stores.

### Use cases

- 🤝 **B2B sales** to app developers — SDKs, ad networks, ASO, UA agencies, localization, QA.
- 📊 **Market research** — map a category: installs, ratings, monetization (ads / in-app purchases / paid).
- 🔁 **Partnerships** — find indie developers (max-installs filter) or the biggest players (min-installs).

### Input example

```json
{
  "searchQueries": ["habit tracker", "meditation"],
  "countries": ["us", "gb"],
  "maxApps": 500,
  "includeSimilarApps": true,
  "minInstalls": 10000,
  "updatedWithinDays": 180,
  "onePerDeveloper": true
}
```

### Output example

```json
{
  "appId": "com.habitnow",
  "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.habitnow",
  "title": "HabitNow Daily Routine Planner",
  "developer": "HabitNow Apps",
  "developerEmail": "habitnow.apps@gmail.com",
  "developerWebsite": null,
  "developerAddress": null,
  "privacyPolicy": "https://www.habitnow.app/privacy-policy",
  "genre": "Productivity",
  "installs": "5,000,000+",
  "realInstalls": 7249855,
  "rating": 4.75,
  "ratingsCount": 93120,
  "free": true,
  "containsAds": false,
  "updatedAt": "2026-07-27",
  "source": "search:habit tracker"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay-per-result: **$0.003 per app**, developer contacts included, platform usage included. Cap any run with *Max total charge*.

### FAQ

**Is the developer email always there?** Google Play requires one, so nearly all apps have it. Website, address and privacy policy depend on what the developer published.

**How many apps per keyword?** About 30 per keyword per country from search; turn on *Expand with similar apps* for much bigger lists.

**Is it legal?** It collects public Play Store listing data that developers publish for users to contact them. Follow GDPR, CAN-SPAM and local rules for outreach.

## MCP server setup

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

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).
