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 Apps & Reviews Scraper App details, search results and reviews from the **Google Play Store**, for any country and language, as clean JSON. No login, no browser, no proxy needed. - **App records**: title, developer (id, email, website), category, score, ratings and reviews counts, **rating histogram**, installs (display + exact where exposed), price/currency, in-app purchase range, ads flags, content rating, release/update dates, version, min Android, icon, header image, screenshots, video. - **Reviews**: paginated in batches of 200 with sort (newest / most relevant / rating) and a star filter; each with score, text, helpful votes, app version, date, and the developer's reply. - **Search**: any query → app records (summary or full details). - Built on Play's own data endpoints via a maintained client; fields arrive typed, dates as ISO 8601. ### vs other Google Play scrapers This is a crowded, largely healthy niche — established alternatives like `google-play-scraper` and `google-play-reviews-scraper` run thousands of jobs a month with low failure rates, so this isn't a reliability play. The difference is pricing granularity and scope in one actor: pay per app record or per review record separately, app details and reviews from the same actor with no login, browser or proxy required. ### Input | field | default | notes | |---|---|---| | `appIds` | `["com.spotify.music"]` | package names | | `searchTerms` | `[]` | one search per term | | `maxSearchResults` | `30` | per term, up to 250 | | `includeDetails` | `true` | fetch full details for search results | | `reviewsPerApp` | `0` | reviews to pull per app (0 = none) | | `reviewSort` | `newest` | `newest`, `most_relevant`, `rating` | | `reviewScore` | — | 1–5 to keep only that star rating | | `lang` / `country` | `en` / `us` | store front | ### Output Two record types in one dataset, `record_type: "app"` and `record_type: "review"`. ```json {"record_type": "app", "appId": "com.spotify.music", "title": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts", "developer": "Spotify AB", "genre": "Music & Audio", "score": 4.35, "ratings": 36321149, "reviews": 1852723, "histogram": [2500000, 900000, 1700000, 4300000, 26900000], "installs": "1,000,000,000+", "realInstalls": 3125337627, "price": 0, "free": true, "currency": "USD", "inAppProductPrice": "$0.99 - $14.99 per item", "offersIAP": true, "contentRating": "Teen", "updated": "2026-09-11T00:00:00+00:00", "version": "Varies with device", "icon": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/…", "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music&hl=en&gl=us", "query": "app:com.spotify.music", "scraped_at": "2026-09-18T12:00:00+00:00"} ``` ```json {"record_type": "review", "appId": "com.spotify.music", "reviewId": "366744c9-…", "userName": "A Google user", "score": 5, "content": "Great app", "thumbsUpCount": 12, "reviewCreatedVersion": "8.9.0", "at": "2026-09-17T07:57:22+00:00", "replyContent": null, "repliedAt": null, "scraped_at": "2026-09-18T12:00:00+00:00"} ``` ### Typical sizes One app with 500 reviews: 501 records in ~5 s. A 30-result search with details: 30 records in ~15 s. ### Use cases App-store intelligence, competitor monitoring, review mining and sentiment, ASO research, install and rating tracking over time, feeding dashboards and AI agents. ### Pricing Pay per record: app records and review records are priced separately. See the pricing tab. ### Notes Public store data only. Missing values come back as `null`; apps not available in the chosen country are reported in the run status rather than failing the run. # Actor input Schema ## `appIds` (type: `array`): Package names, e.g. com.spotify.music. Each becomes an app record (and reviews if reviewsPerApp > 0). ## `searchTerms` (type: `array`): Play Store searches; each result becomes an app record. ## `maxSearchResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum results per search term (up to 250). ## `includeDetails` (type: `boolean`): Search results carry summary fields only; on, each result is fetched as a full app record. ## `reviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`): 0 = no reviews. Paginated in batches of 200. ## `reviewSort` (type: `string`): Order in which reviews are fetched. ## `reviewScore` (type: `integer`): 1–5; leave empty for all. ## `lang` (type: `string`): Two-letter language code. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code (store front). ## Actor input object example ```json { "appIds": [ "com.spotify.music" ], "searchTerms": [], "maxSearchResults": 30, "includeDetails": true, "reviewsPerApp": 0, "reviewSort": "newest", "lang": "en", "country": "us" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `records` (type: `string`): All records. Append ?format=csv for CSV. ## `datasetUrl` (type: `string`): The default dataset. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "appIds": [ "com.spotify.music" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("diopside/google-play-apps").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?

Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer ` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations). ## OpenAPI specification Download the OpenAPI definition: https://api.apify.com/v2/actors/PUBt3a488dsyqFeAD/builds/fLrtwgytaWtFPmaTH/openapi.json
