Google Play Apps & Reviews Scraper

Scrape Google Play app details and user reviews without an API key, login, or quota management: ratings, install counts, categories, and full review text with scores, dates, thumbs-up counts and developer replies.

Why this actor

• 🔓 No API key — uses Google Play's public endpoints, no Cloud project, no quotas
• 📱 ASO-ready — track ratings, installs and review sentiment for any app or competitor set
• 💬 Full review text — real user voices with scores, dates and dev replies (churn/goldmine data)
• 🧹 Structured output — one record type for apps, one for reviews, easy to split
• 💰 Pay-per-record — charged only for records returned

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
appIds	array	["com.whatsapp"]	Package names to scrape
numReviews	integer	50	Reviews per app (0 = details only, max 1000)
lang	string	en	Store language
country	string	us	Store country

Example

{
  "appIds": ["com.spotify.music", "com.amazon.mp3"],
  "numReviews": 200,
  "lang": "en",
  "country": "us"
}

Example output

{ "recordType": "app", "appId": "com.whatsapp", "title": "WhatsApp Messenger",
  "score": 4.62, "ratings": 190000000, "installs": "10,000,000,000+", "free": true }

{ "recordType": "review", "appId": "com.whatsapp", "score": 1,
  "text": "Please help me, my account...", "date": "2026-09-10T00:00:00.000Z",
  "thumbsUp": 0, "replyText": null }

Use cases

• ASO monitoring — watch your app and competitors' ratings/review velocity over time
• Churn analysis — 1-star review mining, dev-reply coverage tracking
• Market research — install and pricing landscapes per category
• AI pipelines — review streams for sentiment and feature-request extraction

Notes

• Invalid package names (404) are skipped with a warning; valid apps still return.
• Reviews come in the selected lang/country store; switch languages for global coverage.
• Google occasionally rotates its internal endpoints; the actor uses the well-maintained scraper library to stay current.
