Input Parameters
The input of this scraper should be JSON containing the list of pages on Google Play that should be visited. Possible fields are:
-
startUrls
: (Optional) (Array) List of Google Play URLs. You should only provide search, developer page, or application page URLs. -
includeReviews
: (Optional) (Boolean) This will add all the reviews that Google Play provides into the app objects. Please keep in mind that the time and resources the actor uses will increase proportionally to the number of reviews. -
onlyIncludeReviews
: (Optional) (Boolean) Including reviews of apps without the app information. This is suggested when there are too many reviews in place. -
endReviewsPage
: (Optional) (Number) Final number of reviews page that you want to scrape. The default isInfinite
. This only limits the review pages. -
proxy
: (Required) (Proxy Object) Proxy configuration.
This solution requires the use of Proxy servers, either your own proxy servers or you can use Apify Proxy.
Tip
If you want to scrape reviews of an application that contains a lot, using endReviewsPage
is strongly suggested. Even though the actor can scrape all of them, the total resource consumption will proportionally increase and might be too much.
Compute Unit Consumption
The actor is optimized to run blazing fast and scrape as many items as possible. Therefore, it forefronts all the detailed requests. If the actor doesn't block very often it'll scrape 100 apps in less than a minute with ~0.001-0.003 compute units.
Google Play Scraper Input example
1{ 2 "startUrls":[ 3 "https://play.google.com/store/search?q=hello&c=apps&hl=tr&gl=US", 4 "https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Mattel163+Limited", 5 "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinybuildgames.helloneighbor&hl=tr&gl=US" 6 ], 7 "includeReviews":true, 8 "endReviewsPage":1, 9 "proxy":{ 10 "useApifyProxy":true 11 } 12}
During the Run
During the run, the actor will output messages letting you know what is going on. Each message always contains a short label specifying which page from the provided list is currently specified. When items are loaded from the page, you should see a message about this event with a loaded item count and total item count for each page.
If you provide incorrect input to the actor, it will immediately stop with failure state and output an explanation of what is wrong.
Google Play Export
During the run, the actor stores results into a dataset. Each item is a separate item in the dataset.
You can manage the results in any languague (Python, PHP, Node JS/NPM). See the FAQ or our API reference to learn more about getting results from this Google Play actor.
