Google Play Reviews Scraper

Free-plan limit: Apify free-plan runs can return at most 5 dataset records per run from this Actor, even if you request more.

Scrape Google Play app reviews for sentiment analysis, ASO research, product feedback, bug triage, and competitor monitoring. The actor returns one structured record per review with rating, text, date, version, thumbs-up count, reviewer metadata, developer replies, and optional app metadata.

FAQ

Does this require a Google account?
No. It reads public Google Play review data and does not use login cookies.

Can it scrape Apple App Store reviews?
No. This actor is only for Google Play. Use a separate App Store reviews actor for iOS apps.

Why do some fields return null?
Google Play does not return every field for every review. Developer replies, app versions, titles, and direct review URLs may be missing.

Can I filter by date?
The actor requests reviews sorted by newest, helpfulness, or rating. Date filtering can be applied downstream from the reviewDate field.
