Google Play Reviews Scraper – Play Store App Reviews API

Fetch public Google Play reviews for one or more Android apps, by package id (com.whatsapp) or Play Store URL. Export structured rows — rating, text, date, version, reviewer name, developer reply — as JSON, CSV, or compact JSON for AI agents.

$0.10 per 1,000 reviews, plus $0.001 per run. Works on Apify’s Free plan ($5/mo platform usage, no credit card required to try).

Looking for iOS reviews? Use the twin Actor, Apple App Store Reviews Scraper.

Try it in one click

The input form on this page is prefilled — press Start and it returns up to 20 recent reviews for Google Translate. A prefill run costs about $0.003.

{ "apps": ["com.google.android.apps.translate"], "country": "us", "language": "en", "sort": "newest", "maxReviews": 20, "maxChargeUsd": 0.05 }

For AI agents

• Call with mode=reviews and apps (package ids or Play Store URLs). Optional: country (default us), language (default en), sort (newest or relevant), maxReviews, minScore, maxScore, sinceDate, outputFormat=compact, maxChargeUsd.
• Do not use mode=selftest.
• Read the default dataset, or key OUTPUT_COMPACT in the key-value store when you asked for compact output (null fields are dropped).
• A blocked or invalid app produces a type=error row. The run still succeeds if other apps (or the run as a whole) produced output.
• Pricing: apify-actor-start $0.001 (per run at the default 1 GB memory) plus review $0.0001 per delivered review ($0.10 per 1,000). Only type=item reviews are billed; error rows are free. Set maxChargeUsd as a cap. 1,000 reviews ≈ $0.101. 20 reviews ≈ $0.003.

Input

• apps — package ids or full Play URLs. If you leave this empty, the Actor uses the prefill app (com.google.android.apps.translate) so an empty run still returns reviews.
• country (default us, lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), language (default en), sort (newest or relevant).
• maxReviews — cap on review rows this run (default 20, maximum 2,000).
• Optional: minScore, maxScore, sinceDate (ISO date; older reviews are dropped and not billed), maxChargeUsd, outputFormat=compact, proxyConfiguration.

Output

One dataset row per review, plus an error row if a single app fails.

Field	Meaning
type	item (a review) or error
reviewId	Stable review id
appId, appName, appUrl	App identifiers
platform	play
country, language	Store country and review language
score	Star rating, 1–5
title	Often null — Google Play no longer has review titles
text	Review body
userName	Reviewer name
thumbsUp	Helpful-vote count
version	App version the review was written against, when known
replyText, replyDate	Developer reply, when present
date, dateIso, scrapedAt	Review date and scrape time
error	Set on type=error rows

Pricing

Pay per event:

Event	Price
Actor start (apify-actor-start)	$0.001 per run (at the default 1 GB memory)
Review (review)	$0.0001 each ($0.10 per 1,000)

Only delivered type=item reviews are billed. Error rows are free. maxChargeUsd stops the run before it would go over. Works on Apify’s Free plan.

Reliability

If one app is blocked or invalid, that app becomes an error row and the run still succeeds. An empty input uses the prefill app so a first try always returns reviews.

More examples

Several apps, newest first, last 100 reviews, 4–5 stars only:

{
  "apps": ["com.whatsapp", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android"],
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "sort": "newest",
  "maxReviews": 100,
  "minScore": 4,
  "maxChargeUsd": 1
}

Reviews since a date, compact output for an agent:

{
  "apps": ["com.spotify.music"],
  "sinceDate": "2026-01-01",
  "maxReviews": 200,
  "outputFormat": "compact",
  "maxChargeUsd": 1
}

Run it on a schedule

Suggested frequency: daily for app-reputation monitoring, weekly for competitor review digests. Set sinceDate so each run keeps only new reviews. Save your input as a Task in Apify Console, then add a Schedule. Send results to Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks, Make / Zapier / n8n, or an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Is there an official Google Play reviews API? Only for apps you own (Google Play Developer API). This Actor reads the public reviews any visitor can see, for any app, with no Google account or API key.

Do I need a Google account or cookies? No. No login, cookies, or API key.

How many reviews can I get? Up to 2,000 per run with maxReviews (default 20). Use sinceDate, minScore and maxScore to keep only the reviews you need; dropped reviews are not billed.

What does a run cost? $0.001 to start plus $0.0001 per review ($0.10 per 1,000). A 20-review prefill run is about $0.003. maxChargeUsd caps spend. Error rows are free.

Can I get App Store (iOS) reviews too? Yes, with the twin Apple App Store Reviews Scraper. Both return the same review fields, so you can merge them.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP? Yes, through the Apify MCP server or API. outputFormat: "compact" writes a token-lean copy (OUTPUT_COMPACT) with null fields dropped.
