Google Play App Data API

Google Play App Data API that returns the public store facts of any Android app: rating, rating count, installs, price, in-app purchases, ads, category, content rating, version and last update, one clean row per app. Give it package names, Play URLs or a developer, pick a country and language, and get the data back in seconds.

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel or Google Sheets, call it from the Apify API, schedule it daily to track rating and install changes, or let an AI agent use it through MCP.

No login, no Google account, no API key, no browser. The Actor reads the public app pages that Google's robots.txt allows (/store/apps/details, /store/apps/dev, /store/apps/developer) and nothing else. The prefilled input (6 apps) finishes in about 2 seconds.

A real record from a run on 2026-10-13. A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key-value store lists apps saved, apps not found, inputs that were not valid package names, each developer page read and any URL skipped because of robots.txt.

How to track Google Play apps every day

Create a schedule in Apify (e.g. every morning) with your list of competitor apps. Each run gives today's rating, rating count, install bracket, price and last update; compare runs to see who shipped an update or gained ratings. Send the rows to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n or a webhook with Apify integrations.

Use the Google Play App Data API with AI agents (MCP)

Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients can call this Actor through the official Apify MCP server. Add NORESPI/google-play-apps to your Apify MCP configuration, then ask things like "compare the rating, installs and ads of Duolingo, Babbel and Busuu on the French Play Store".

Use cases

• Competitor tracking (ASO): rating, rating count, install bracket and update dates of your competitors, every day.
• Market research: price, ads and in-app purchase models across a list of apps or a developer's whole catalogue.
• App directories and comparison sites: fresh title, icon, category, rating and price per country.
• Investor and M&A screening: install brackets and rating volume of a publisher's apps.
• Localization checks: how your listing (title, summary, price) shows in each country and language.

Limits (stated up front)

• No keyword search. Google's robots.txt disallows /store/search, so you must give package names, URLs or developers.
• Developer pages show about 20 apps. Google loads the rest through an internal endpoint (/_/…batchexecute) that robots.txt disallows, so the Actor returns only the apps visible on the public page. Developers with more apps: list the packages in appIds.
• No user reviews in this version: only rating counts and the 1–5★ histogram. Review text and reviewer names are not collected.
• No data safety section, permissions or screenshots. The data safety page is disallowed by robots.txt.
• Install counts are Google's public brackets (500,000,000+), not exact downloads.
• version and minAndroidVersion read Varies with device when Google publishes several builds.
• Google's page layout is not a documented API. If Google changes it, fields can go null until the Actor is updated; the JSON-LD fallback keeps title, rating, price and developer working.
• The Actor slows down and stops on 403 or repeated 429 answers instead of pushing harder. It does not use proxies to get around limits.

Privacy

App-level store facts only. The Actor never outputs developer e-mail addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses or websites, even though Google shows them on the app page: that block is not read. The description excerpt has e-mails, phone numbers, links and @handles removed. No user reviews and no reviewer names. developer is the publisher name exactly as Google Play displays it.

FAQ

Do I need a Google account or API key?

No. Only public Google Play pages are read.

Can I search Google Play by keyword?

No. Google's robots.txt disallows the search pages and this Actor respects it. Give package names, Play URLs or developers.

How do I find an app's package name?

It is the id= part of the Play URL: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp → com.whatsapp. You can paste the whole URL.

Can I get prices in another currency?

Yes. Set country (e.g. gb, de, jp): Google shows the local price and currency for that store.

Can I export Google Play data to CSV, Excel or Google Sheets?

Yes, from the Output tab, the API, or the Google Sheets integration.

Is this Actor affiliated with Google or Google Play?

No. It is an independent tool that reads public Google Play pages. Google Play is a trademark of Google LLC.
