It has two run modes. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README ## Google Play Reviews Scraper API: Unanswered Reviews Only **Google Play Reviews Scraper API** - Pull Google Play reviews and keep only the bad ones nobody answered yet. ### What does Google Play Reviews Scraper API do?

You are responsible for using it within the source site's terms and data protection law (GDPR, CCPA). **What if the site blocks a request?** The run retries from a fresh connection and, if it still cannot read the page, stops with a clear message - never with made-up rows. **Do I need proxies?** No setup needed - Google Play Reviews Scraper API uses Apify Proxy by default where the site needs it. ### Troubleshooting - **No results:** check the input (a public URL or a search term that returns results in a normal browser), then try the example input once. - **Fewer results than expected:** raise the maximum in the input; some sites show only a part of their data without logging in, and Google Play Reviews Scraper API never logs in. - **The run stopped with a message:** the message says what the site answered; run it again later or with fewer items. ### Your feedback Missing a field, found a bug, or need another site?
