Google Play Scraper – Reviews, App Details, Search & Top Charts

What does Google Play Scraper do?

Google Play Scraper collects data from the Google Play Store in four modes:

1. Reviews — all reviews of any app: star rating, text, date, thumbs-up, app version, and the developer's reply. Filter by star rating (e.g. only 1-star reviews).
2. App details — the full app record: installs, rating and ratings histogram, review count, price and in-app purchases, genre, content rating, release and update dates, version, description, what's new, screenshots, and developer email, website and address.
3. Search — the apps Google Play shows for any keyword, in ranking order — ideal for ASO keyword tracking.
4. Top charts — Top free, Top paid and Top grossing for any category (Games, Finance, Health & Fitness, …) and any country.

Every mode works for any country and language. No login, no API key, no browser.

Why use it?

• Product & UX research: mine thousands of reviews for bugs, feature requests and complaints — yours or competitors'.
• Sentiment analysis & AI: feed review text into LLMs to cluster issues and track satisfaction over time.
• ASO (App Store Optimization): track where apps rank for keywords and how competitors describe themselves.
• Market research: size categories by installs and ratings, follow top-grossing charts by country.
• Lead generation: collect developer emails and websites of apps in any niche.

How to use it

1. Choose What to scrape.
2. For Reviews / App details: paste app URLs or package IDs (e.g. com.whatsapp). For Search: enter keywords. For Top charts: choose the chart and category.
3. Set Country and Language if you need a store other than US English.
4. Click Start and download results as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API.

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event pricing — you pay a small fixed price per review and per app record delivered (see the Pricing tab). Errors (wrong IDs, removed apps) are free. Platform usage is included, so there are no extra compute or proxy costs.

Tips

• Use Only reviews with this star rating = 1 to get just the complaints.
• Turn off Full app details in Search / Top charts for a quick, cheaper ranking list.
• Schedule the Actor daily to monitor new reviews or chart positions.

FAQ

How many reviews can I get? As many as Google Play serves for the app — typically tens of thousands for popular apps.

Is it legal? The Actor reads only publicly available store pages. Use the data responsibly and in line with applicable laws (e.g. GDPR for reviewer names).
