All notable changes to Google Play Scraper are recorded here. The newest release is first.
Apify renders this as a Changelog tab on the Store page. Keeping it current is a
visible signal that the Actor is maintained, which feeds the quality score that
drives Store and MCP search ranking. Add an entry with every published build.
- Docs: related Actors listed; input field descriptions clarified for AI agents.
- Results whose text mentions "captcha" or "access denied" (a server description, a game or shop product name, a headline) are no longer mistaken for an anti-bot block, which could fail a good run.
First public release.
- Google Play Store app data from the public store pages, with no login and no API key: lookups by package name or Play Store link, keyword search with
searchRank (30 per keyword), all apps of a developer (by name, numeric ID or link, every page of the list), and top free, paid and grossing charts (up to 200, any category) with chartPosition, in any country and language. Every row is completed from the app's own details page. No reviews and no developer contact details.
- Every row carries
status, so a missing record (not_found) and a failure (error) are told apart from real data. Only ok rows are charged.
- Records are validated against a schema before they are written, so an upstream change produces loud warnings instead of silently billing for empty rows.
- Callable with no arguments by an AI agent, which the input schema's defaults make safe.
