Google Play Scraper — Apps, Details & Reviews (Android)

Scrape the Google Play Store in one run: search apps by keyword, pull full app details (installs, rating, price, developer, version, screenshots, description), and extract user reviews across any country store and language. Everything comes from Google Play's own internal endpoints — no API key, no headless browser, no proxies.

Why this one

Most Play Store actors do one thing — usually reviews only. This one covers the whole workflow in a single run and returns clean, flat records ready for a spreadsheet, a database, or an LLM:

• Search → find every app matching a keyword.
• Details → 40+ fields of metadata for any package name or Play URL.
• Reviews → user reviews with rating, thumbs-up, version and developer reply.

Runs are fast, cheap, and reliable. Pair it with the App Store Scraper to cover both mobile app stores for full market research.

What it does

• Search Google Play with multiple keywords at once.
• Look up specific apps by package name (com.whatsapp) or Play URL.
• Any country store (us, gb, ae, in, de, …) and language (en, ar, …).
• Optional review scraping — newest, by rating, or most relevant; filter by star rating.
• Deduplicates apps found via both search and direct lookup.
• Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull via the Apify API.
