Google Play Reviews Scraper

Extract app reviews from the Google Play Store, together with app details and app search results. Product teams use it to find out what users complain about, marketers use it to watch competitors, and researchers use it to collect review text for sentiment analysis.

• Full review history. Goes back through all reviews of an app, not only the first few pages. In our tests it read 150,000 reviews of one app in a single pass.
• Developer replies included. Each review comes with the developer's answer and its date, when there is one.
• Filter and sort. Newest, most relevant or highest rating first. Keep only 1-star reviews, or any other star rating.
• Any language and country. Collect reviews written in English, Spanish, Japanese or any other language Google Play supports.
• No login and no proxy needed. Press Start and get data.
• Low price. $0.20 per 1,000 results.

How to use it

1. Click Try for free.
2. Choose a mode in What to scrape.
3. Paste Google Play links or app ids in Apps, or add keywords in Search keywords.
4. Click Start, then download the results as JSON, CSV or Excel.

The app id is the part after id= in a Google Play link. In https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music the app id is com.spotify.music. If you do not know it, run Search apps by keyword first.

How much does it cost?

You pay per saved result: $0.20 per 1,000 results. There is no start fee and no monthly rental. A review, an app and a search result each count as one result.

Run	Results	Cost
100 newest reviews of one app	100	$0.02
3,000 reviews each for 5 apps	15,000	$3.00
Details of 200 apps	200	$0.04

Set a maximum charge per run in the run options and the Actor stops when it is reached.

Limits you should know

• Reviews come in one language per run. Google Play returns only the reviews written in the language you choose. To collect reviews in several languages, start one run per language.
• Only reviews with text. The number of ratings of an app is much larger than the number of reviews, because most users give stars without writing anything. Ratings without text cannot be collected. The app details show both numbers (ratingsCount and reviewsCount).
• Search returns at most 30 apps per keyword. This is what Google Play shows on its search page. Some keywords return fewer. Use several related keywords to find more apps.
• Search results have fewer fields. They do not include the number of ratings, the rating breakdown, the version or the update date. Turn on Add full app details to search results to add them.
• Version is empty for some apps. Apps such as Spotify show "Varies with device" on Google Play, so version and androidVersion are empty for them. About 1 in 5 reviews has no appVersion either.
• The date of a review is the date of its last edit. When a user edits a review after the developer answered, the reply can be older than the review.
• Speed. About 8,500 reviews per minute. We tested runs up to 20,000 reviews on Apify and 150,000 reviews in one pass from our own machine without being slowed down by Google. Larger runs were not tested.
• The exact install count is an estimate. installs and minInstalls are the public numbers. installsEstimate is a more precise figure that Google includes in the page data.

Tips

• Monitor new reviews. Schedule a daily run sorted by newest with a small Max results, and you get a steady feed of fresh reviews.
• Find the problems first. Set Star rating to 1 star and sort by most relevant to read the complaints other users agreed with most.
• Compare countries. The same app can have a different price, rating and availability in each country. Run app details with different country codes.

FAQ

Is it legal? The Actor collects only data that Google Play shows publicly to every visitor. Results contain personal data such as user names. Make sure you have a legitimate reason to process it, as required by the GDPR and similar laws.

Do I need a Google account or an API key? No.

An app was skipped as "not found". Why? The app id is wrong, the app was removed, or the app is not available in the country you chose. Try another country code.
