Google Play Installs Scraper - Android Apps, Ratings, Price

Search Google Play or pull top charts and get structured app rows: title, developer, rating, review count, install band, price, category and icon - from Play's public pages. No API key.

• Search, category or top charts - three discovery modes
• The numbers that matter - rating, review count, install band, price
• 24 stable columns per app
• Cheap - priced for bulk category sweeps

Quick start

Open the actor, keep the defaults, press Save & start. The reference run below is exactly that. Then adjust the input for your own search and export CSV, JSON or Excel from the dataset tab - or call it from the API and read the dataset programmatically.

A real row

Straight from a reference run, trimmed to the highlights:

{
  "app_id": "com.spotlightsix.zentimerlite2",
  "title": "Insight Timer - Meditation App",
  "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotlightsix.zentimerlite2",
  "developer": "Insight Network Inc",
  "developer_url": "https://insighttimer.com",
  "category": "HEALTH_AND_FITNESS",
  "description": "Everyday Wellbeing for Sleep, Anxiety and Stress",
  "rating": 4.7,
  "rating_count": 260629,
  "price": 0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "is_free": true
}

How it works

Play's public pages carry structured JSON-LD plus markup the actor parses; discovery modes map to search, category and top-chart URLs, all read as a US/English visitor for stable output.

A missing value is null; the column set never shifts, so your CSV import is stable across runs.

Pricing

Pay per result - charged only for rows delivered; the current rate is on this page's Pricing tab. Zero results cost zero, and failed fetches are never billed.

Use cases

• Competitor tracking - Weekly export of your category's top chart with ratings and installs
• ASO research - Which titles and developers own a keyword's results
• Market sizing - Install bands across a whole category in one run

Honest limits

We would rather say it here than have you find out on a paid run:

• Install counts are Google's public bands (e.g. 1M+), not exact figures - nobody has exact figures publicly
• Ratings breakdown per star is not in Play's public markup; the row carries the aggregate

Scheduling & integrations

Every input works identically from the API, so this actor drops into schedules and pipelines: run it on an Apify Schedule for a recurring export, point a webhook at the finished run to push rows into Slack, Google Sheets (via Zapier/Make/n8n) or your warehouse, and page through the dataset with the standard Dataset API. Saved tasks keep your configuration one click away.

FAQ

Country/language? Runs read Play as a US/English visitor by default for stable columns.

iOS too? That's the separate App Store scraper on this account - same table shape philosophy.
