Google Play Store Scraper — Apps, Reviews, Charts

Google Play Store Scraper extracts everything on Google Play with one actor: app details, user reviews, keyword search, top charts, similar apps, and full developer portfolios. Point it at a package ID, an app URL, or a search term and it auto-detects what to do. HTTP-only (no headless browser), fast, and built for both humans and AI agents (MCP-ready).

What you get

Mode	Input	Returns
App details	com.spotify.music or app URL	50+ fields: title, description, installs, score, ratings histogram, price, IAP, version, content rating, screenshots, developer contact, privacy policy, and more
Reviews	package ID / URL	Paginated reviews: rating, text, author, date, helpful votes, developer reply, app version
Search	keyword (searchQuery)	Ranked matching apps with title, developer, score, price, icon
Top charts (list)	collection + optional category	Ranked chart apps (Top Free / Paid / Grossing) with rank
Similar apps	package ID / URL	Apps Google Play recommends as similar — great for competitor discovery
Developer apps	developer URL or name	The developer's full published portfolio

When to use it

• ASO & market research — track rankings, scores, install tiers, and competitor sets.
• Sentiment analysis — pull thousands of reviews per app, sorted by newest, rating, or helpfulness.
• Competitive intelligence — search a niche, pull top charts, map similar apps and developer portfolios.
• AI agents — narrow input, structured JSON out; callable directly over MCP.

Use the dedicated reviews-only actors if all you ever need is the cheapest possible review firehose. Use this actor when you want the full Google Play picture — apps, reviews, charts, and discovery — in one place with consistent output.

Pricing (pay-per-event)

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005
App detail scraped (full 50+ field record)	$0.005
Result scraped (review, search result, chart entry, similar app, developer app)	$0.003

Set maxResults to put a hard ceiling on spend — the run stops cleanly once reached, and the maximum possible cost is printed at the start of every run. Pay-per-usage (compute + proxy) is also available; pick whichever billing fits your job at run time.

Quick start

Zero-config: the default input scrapes the Spotify app's details. Otherwise:

App details + reviews + similar apps in one run

{
  "mode": "app-details",
  "appIds": ["com.whatsapp", "com.spotify.music"],
  "includeReviews": true,
  "maxReviews": 200,
  "includeSimilar": true,
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "maxResults": 500
}

Keyword search, enriched to full details

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "meditation timer",
  "maxSearchResults": 30,
  "fullDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 30
}

Top free games chart

{
  "mode": "list",
  "listCollection": "TOP_FREE",
  "listCategory": "GAME",
  "maxListResults": 100
}

Auto-detect from mixed URLs

{
  "mode": "auto",
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music" },
    { "url": "https://play.google.com/store/search?q=podcast" }
  ]
}

Output

Every row carries a recordType discriminator (app, review, searchResult, listEntry, similar, developerApp) plus a scrapedAt ISO-8601 timestamp and the sourceUrl/appId it came from. App rows are flat with stable keys; review rows use review* prefixed fields. See the Output tab for the live schema.

{
  "recordType": "app",
  "appId": "com.spotify.music",
  "title": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts",
  "developer": "Spotify AB",
  "score": 4.33,
  "ratings": 31000000,
  "installs": "1,000,000,000+",
  "price": 0,
  "free": true,
  "genre": "Music & Audio",
  "version": "VARY",
  "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-05-30T09:23:13.811Z"

Calling from code

Apify JavaScript client

    print(item["title"], item.get("score"))

FAQ

How many reviews can I get per app? Reviews paginate automatically up to maxReviews (default 100; up to 50,000). Newest, rating, or helpfulness order.

Search returns few/no results? Google Play's search endpoint is region-sensitive and can rate-limit shared datacenter IPs. Set the right country, and for high-volume search switch the proxy to residential. App-details, reviews, charts, similar, and developer modes are unaffected.

Can I get full details for every search/chart/similar result? Yes — set fullDetails: true and each result is upgraded to a complete 50+ field record (billed as an app-detail event).

Which country/language? Use 2-letter ISO codes in country (storefront, pricing, availability) and language (localized text).

Does it need a browser or login? No. It reads Google Play's public endpoints over HTTP. No account, no cookies.
