App Store & Google Play Reviews Scraper — Ratings & Reviews API

Scrape app reviews and ratings from both the Apple App Store and Google Play — in one run, one clean schema. This app reviews scraper pulls recent reviews for any app from both stores and normalizes them into a single structured dataset, so you can monitor sentiment, do ASO and market research, or track competitors without stitching two different formats together.

Most scrapers cover one store. This one does both, and lets you filter to exactly the reviews you want (e.g. only 1–2★).

Why this actor

• Cross-store in one — mix App Store and Google Play apps in a single input; get one unified output.
• Star-rating filter — isolate negative reviews (maxScore: 2) or top reviews, per run.
• Clean, public data — Apple's official RSS reviews feed + Google Play public listings. No login, no personal data beyond public reviewer display names.
• Structured output — score, title, text, author, app version, date, developer reply, and helpful-count (where available).

Use cases

• App developers — monitor new reviews across both stores and catch issues fast.
• ASO / marketing — analyze sentiment, keywords, and version-by-version feedback.
• Market research — compare a competitor's reviews across platforms.
• Support / product — pipe negative reviews into a triage workflow.

Input

Field	Description
apps	App Store / Google Play URLs, or shorthand apple:310633997 / play:com.whatsapp.
country	Two-letter store country (reviews are locale-specific), e.g. us, gb.
lang	Two-letter language for Google Play reviews, e.g. en.
maxReviewsPerApp	Cap on reviews per app (main cost lever; Apple caps at ~500).
minScore / maxScore	Keep only reviews within a star range (1–5).

Finding app ids: App Store — the id########## in the URL. Google Play — the id= package name (e.g. com.whatsapp).

Output

Each review becomes one dataset item, unified across stores:

{
  "app": "com.whatsapp",
  "store": "googleplay",
  "appName": "WhatsApp Messenger",
  "score": 2,
  "title": null,
  "text": "Keeps crashing after the update...",
  "author": "Jane D.",
  "version": "2.26.23.74",
  "reviewId": "22eab7da-...",
  "date": "2026-07-09T23:23:03",
  "thumbsUp": 14,
  "developerReply": "Hi Jane, please contact support...",
  "country": "us",
  "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp",
  "sourceApp": "googleplay:com.whatsapp"
}

(App Store reviews include a title; Google Play reviews don't — the field is null there.)

Pricing

Pay-per-result: you're charged per review returned — no monthly fee, and no charge for apps that can't be found or return nothing.

Notes

• Apple App Store reviews come from Apple's official, public RSS feed — reliable and stable.
• Google Play has no official reviews API; this actor uses the public listing data. It works well, but if Google changes its front-end, the Google Play side may need a short update — the App Store side is unaffected.
• Reviews are locale-specific — set country (and lang for Google Play) to the market you care about.
