App Store & Google Play Scraper

Scrape Google Play and the Apple App Store in one actor: full app details, user reviews, keyword search results, top charts per category and country, and every app of a developer. Each result is one dataset row with type: "app" or type: "review", exportable as JSON, CSV or Excel. You pay $0.001 per app and $0.0002 per review, so 1,000 apps cost $1 and 1,000 reviews cost $0.20.

Features

• Scrape Google Play app details: title, description, developer email, website and address, rating, rating histogram, installs, price, in-app purchases, ads, content rating, version, update date, recent changes, screenshots.
• Scrape Apple App Store app details: title, bundle ID, description, developer website, genres, rating, rating histogram, price, size, required iOS version, languages, release notes, screenshots.
• Export Google Play reviews to CSV or JSON: reviewer name, star rating, text, date, app version, thumbs-up count, developer reply and reply date. Sorted by newest, by rating or by most helpful.
• Export App Store reviews by country: reviewer name, star rating, title, text, date, app version and the storefront country. List several countries in one run.
• Search apps by keyword for ASO research: up to 250 results per keyword on Google Play and 200 on the App Store, in any country and language.
• Get the top charts of Google Play and the App Store: top free, top paid and top grossing, per category and per country.
• List all apps of a developer from a developer name, ID or developer page URL.

No login and no API key. Built on the open-source libraries google-play-scraper and app-store-scraper.

Output

Every row has a type (app or review) and a store, with "Apps" and "Reviews" dataset views. A Google Play app row, shortened:

{
  "type": "app",
  "store": "google-play",
  "appId": "com.spotify.music",
  "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music&hl=en&gl=us",
  "title": "Spotify: Music and Podcasts",
  "developer": "Spotify AB",
  "developerEmail": "android-support@spotify.com",
  "genre": "Music & Audio",
  "score": 4.34,
  "ratings": 32994517,
  "histogram": { "1": 2193010, "2": 703640, "3": 1246120, "4": 2937350, "5": 25915000 },
  "installs": "1,000,000,000+",
  "minInstalls": 1000000000,
  "price": 0,
  "free": true,
  "offersIAP": true,
  "adSupported": true,
  "contentRating": "Teen",
  "version": "VARY",
  "updated": "2026-08-18T06:18:15.000Z",
  "source": "input",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-25T08:12:40.511Z"
}

An App Store review row:

{
  "type": "review",
  "store": "app-store",
  "appId": "324684580",
  "reviewId": "14442249531",
  "userName": "Cooler spiel das beste",
  "score": 3,
  "title": "Danke für die Antwort",
  "text": "...",
  "date": "2026-08-18T10:25:03.000Z",
  "version": "9.1.74",
  "thumbsUp": null,
  "replyText": null,
  "country": "de",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-25T08:13:02.104Z"
}

The source field on app rows tells you where the app came from: input, search:<term>, chart:<collection>:<category> or developer:<id>. If an app cannot be loaded, the actor writes a type: "error" row with the app ID and the message; error rows are not charged.

Pricing

Pay per event, no monthly fee:

• $0.001 per app (app-scraped), that is $1 per 1,000 apps.
• $0.0002 per review (review-scraped), that is $0.20 per 1,000 reviews.

Worked example: the top 100 free games in the US on both stores is 200 apps, $0.20. Adding 500 reviews for each of 10 competitor apps adds 5,000 reviews ($1.00) plus 10 app rows ($0.01). Apify platform usage is billed separately.

FAQ

Do I need an API key for Google Play or the App Store? No. Both stores publish this data on public pages and feeds, and the actor reads them directly.

How many reviews can I get per app? On Google Play the actor pages through reviews 150 at a time until it hits maxReviewsPerApp or runs out, so 0 returns everything Google serves. The App Store review feed stops at 10 pages of 50, so about 500 reviews per storefront. Add countries to reviewsCountries to collect more; maxReviewsPerApp is a cap on the total across those countries.

Does reviewsSort work the same on both stores? On Google Play all three options apply. The App Store feed only offers most recent and most helpful, so rating falls back to newest there.

Does it return developer replies? On Google Play, yes: replyText and replyDate. The App Store feed does not include developer responses or helpful counts, so those fields are null for App Store reviews.

Are install counts exact? No. Google Play shows ranges like 1,000,000+; you get the text in installs plus minInstalls and maxInstalls. The App Store does not publish installs.

Do I need proxies? Normally not.

How do I schedule it or call it from code? Use Apify schedules, or start runs through the Apify API and SDKs. Export JSON, CSV or Excel, or send results to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n or Airtable. AI agents can call it as an MCP tool.

What can it not do? It does not log in, so there is no developer console data (downloads, revenue). It returns what the public store shows for the chosen country and language.
