Google Play Scraper

Scrape Google Play apps by search term, app ID or developer and get the data you see on the store — and more: rating, ratings count, the 1–5 star histogram, installs (including the exact install count), price, in-app purchases, ads, release and update dates, category, content rating, description and screenshots. Any country and language. No API key, no login.

• ✅ Three ways in — search terms, a list of app IDs/URLs, or all apps of a developer
• ✅ Exact installs — realInstalls gives the precise number behind "1,000,000,000+"
• ✅ Rating histogram — how many 1★…5★ ratings each app has
• ✅ Any store country — prices, availability and rankings for us, gb, in, br…
• ✅ No duplicates — an app found by several sources is saved once
• ✅ $0.80 per 1,000 apps, full details included, platform usage included
