## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Play App Details Pro

Full details for any Android app on Google Play, in one cheap HTTP call per app. Returns title, developer, category, rating, ratings count, downloads, current version, last update, release date, price, content rating, description, icon, similar apps and recent versions.

**Why this over [curious_coder/google-play-scraper](https://apify.com/curious_coder/google-play-scraper) (110 users/30d):** same app-detail fetch, plus similar apps and recent version history in every record, multi-country and multi-language output, and filtered or failed lookups are never billed. For review text, see [Google Play Reviews Pro](https://apify.com/red.cars/google-play-reviews-pro).

### Input

| appIds | array | \["com.whatsapp"] | Package names (com.example.app) or full Play store URLs |

| languages | array | \["en"] | Store language codes (hl): en, es, de, ... |
| maxItems | integer | 10 | Hard cap on app records (max 1000) |
| includeSimilarApps | boolean | true | Add up to 20 similar app IDs per record |
| includeRecentVersions | boolean | true | Add up to 5 recent version strings per record |

### Output

One record per app:

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.005 per actor start + $0.60 per 1,000 app records** ($0.0006 per record). Lookups that return no page are logged and never billed. No proxy, no login, no API key.

### Use cases

- App store intelligence: track downloads, ratings and version cadence across competitors' portfolios
- ASO monitoring: ratings count and version history by country and language
- SDK and developer research: similar-app graphs to map category adjacency
- Enrichment for M\&A and market mapping: publisher, category, size of install base

### FAQ

**Do I need a proxy?** No. Google Play serves the details page over plain HTTP; the actor uses no proxy by default.

**How many apps can I process?** Up to 1,000 per run via maxItems. Each app in each country/language combination is one record.

**A lookup found nothing. Am I charged?** No. Pages that fail or apps that cannot be parsed are logged and skipped, never billed.

**Do you return reviews?** Not here. For review text use Google Play Reviews Pro.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("red.cars/google-play-app-details-pro").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("red.cars/google-play-app-details-pro").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call red.cars/google-play-app-details-pro --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,red.cars/google-play-app-details-pro"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
