Google Play Reviews Scraper: Ratings, Replies & App Data

Get every Google Play review for any Android app, with star rating, developer reply, app version and thumbs-up count, plus the app's key stats, in clean JSON, CSV or Excel. Paste Play Store links, package IDs or just app names. 1,000 reviews take a few seconds and cost $0.08.

What you get

• Reviews: review text, stars (1 to 5), reviewer name, date, thumbs-up count, the app version the review was written on, and the developer's reply with its date.
• App details (optional): installs, average score, total ratings, the 1-to-5 star histogram, price and currency, genre, content rating, developer name, developer email and website, release date, last update, current version and "what's new" text.
• Any app, any market: 2-letter language and country codes (en/us, de/de, pt/br, ja/jp ...). Query several countries in one run; a review that shows up in several is returned once.
• Filters that save money: star range (complaints only? set 1 to 2), "since" date, newest / most relevant / rating sort, and a per-app cap. You only pay for reviews that pass your filters.

Why this one

• Cheapest per review. $0.08 per 1,000 reviews, below the popular Google Play review scrapers ($0.10 to $0.15 per 1,000).
• Fast and reliable. No browser and no proxies needed: it reads the same data the Play Store website loads, 150 reviews per request, with polite pacing and automatic retries when Google throttles.
• Incremental monitoring built in. With Newest sort and a since-date like 1 day, the run stops paging as soon as it reaches older reviews. A daily schedule costs cents.
• Developer replies included. See how (and how fast) a competitor answers complaints.
• Names work too. Type duolingo and it finds com.duolingo for you.

Use cases

• App Store Optimization (ASO): mine the words real users use, track rating trends and the star histogram after each release.
• Competitor analysis: compare complaints, feature requests and reply rates across rival apps.
• Sentiment analysis and AI pipelines: feed clean review text into an LLM, a classifier or a vector database for RAG; every row has a stable review_id for de-duplication.
• Product and support teams: catch bugs by app version, route 1-star reviews to Slack, measure reply coverage.
• Market research and lead generation: collect installs, genres and developer contact emails for any list of apps.

Output

Every row has a type field: "review" or "app". Reviews and app details live in the same dataset so one API call gets everything; filter on type (or pick the Reviews / App details view in the Console) when you want just one kind.

version: null means the developer ships different versions per device ("Varies with device"). A SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists each input, the app it resolved to, how many reviews it returned, or why it failed.

Pricing

Pay only for what you get:

Event	Price	Example
Review	$0.00008 per review	1,000 reviews = $0.08
App details	$0.001 per app	10 apps = $0.01

Apps that aren't found cost nothing. A daily monitoring run of 5 apps with ~50 new reviews each costs about 2 cents. Set a spending limit on the run and the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

FAQ

How many reviews can I get? As many as Google Play serves for that language, which is usually tens of thousands for popular apps. Set maxReviewsPerApp as high as you need.

Why did I get fewer reviews than the app's review count? Google Play only lists reviews with text in the selected language; star-only ratings and other languages are not included. Try another language code to get more.

Do countries give different reviews? Mostly reviews are grouped by language, so us and gb overlap heavily. Duplicates are removed and you aren't charged twice.

Can I get only negative reviews? Yes: minRating: 1, maxRating: 2. Single-star values and the 1-3 / 4-5 ranges are filtered by Google itself, so even rare ratings come back fast.

How do I monitor new reviews every day? Schedule the Actor with sort: "newest" and sinceDate: "1 day", then connect a webhook, Slack, Google Sheets or Make/Zapier integration.

Does it need proxies or a login? No. It reads public Play Store data over plain HTTP with polite pacing and retries.

Is scraping Google Play reviews legal? The reviews are public. You are responsible for how you use personal data such as reviewer names; aggregate or anonymize it when you can, and follow the laws that apply to you (for example GDPR).

Is there an App Store (iOS) version? This Actor covers Google Play. Reach out through the Issues tab if you need iOS too.
