📌 What This Actor Does

This Apify actor is a Google Play scraper for app reviews, app details and developer leads. It reads the public Google Play Store (play.google.com) and turns it into clean, structured data you can open in a spreadsheet or plug into your tools.

Give it an app, a search term or a developer, choose what you want, and press Start. You get one tidy row per review, app or search result, ready to download.

Who it's for

You are	You use it to
App developer / product manager	Read what users say about your app and your competitors, and catch bugs and feature requests early
ASO specialist / app marketer	Track keyword rankings, compare competitors' ratings, installs and screenshots across countries
Agency / sales team	Build lead lists of app publishers with contact emails, websites and phone numbers
Market researcher / analyst	Export app catalogs, prices and ratings by category and market
Data scientist	Build labelled sentiment datasets from real star ratings and review text
Privacy & compliance team	Audit Data safety disclosures and Android permissions across many apps

✨ Key Features

• Five tools in one actor: app reviews, app details, search results, similar apps and a developer's full app list.
• Fast review scraping: 100 reviews per request, with no browser to slow it down. A single app can yield tens of thousands of reviews.
• Smart review filters: sort by newest, most relevant or rating. Keep only 1-star (or 5-star) reviews. Skip anything older than a date.
• Incremental runs: with Newest order and a target date, a daily run fetches only what's new and stops.
• 50+ fields per app: title, description, score, star histogram, installs, price, in-app purchases, ads, content rating, version, release and update dates, screenshots, video, categories.
• Lead generation built in: developer email, website, phone, legal company name and postal address, straight from the store listing.
• Website email finder: optionally visits each developer's website and finds more contact emails (press, partnerships, marketing), ranked best-first.
• Multi-country: list us, gb, in… and every input runs once per market, so you see local prices, currencies and rankings side by side.
• Privacy data: the full Data safety section (data shared, data collected, purposes, security practices) and every declared Android permission.
• Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, or through the Apify API, webhooks and integrations (Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, Slack…).

🧠 Why This Actor Is Different

• No login, no API key, no browser. It reads Google Play's public web data over plain HTTP, so runs start instantly and cost less.
• Built for scale. Reviews come 100 at a time with automatic retries on Google's occasional server timeouts, and runs keep going instead of failing halfway. One app was walked to more than 10,000 reviews in under 3 minutes in testing.
• Lead data you can act on. Most Google Play scrapers stop at the listing email. This one also returns the developer's legal email, phone and address, and can find extra business addresses on their website. It skips the traps that pollute other email finders, such as open-source license pages full of strangers' addresses, image file names, placeholders and no-reply addresses.
• Honest data. Fields Google doesn't publish come back as null, never a guess. Dates are ISO 8601. Prices are real numbers with their currency.
• Fair pay-per-result pricing. You pay per row delivered, and extras only when they return data. Email lookups that find nothing are free, and the actor stops cleanly at your spending limit.
• Correct by country and language. Google Play keeps separate review lists per language and separate prices per country. The actor exposes both, so you never mix markets by accident.

Example inputs

Last month's 1-star reviews of two apps, in the US and UK

{
    "action": "reviews",
    "appIds": ["com.spotify.music", "com.whatsapp"],
    "countries": ["us", "gb"],
    "sortBy": "newest",
    "filterByRating": "1",
    "targetDate": "2026-09-23",
    "maxReviews": 0
}

A lead list: every result for a keyword, with contacts and website emails

{
    "action": "search",
    "searchQueries": ["habit tracker", "budget planner"],
    "includeFullDetails": true,

}

A privacy audit of a developer's portfolio

{
    "action": "developer",

💡 Tips for best results

• Reviews depend on language. Google Play stores reviews per language: en returns English reviews, fr French ones. To cover a global app, run once per language you care about.
• Use Newest + Target date for monitoring. It's the only date-sorted order, so the run stops as soon as it reaches old reviews. That makes it the cheapest way to run daily or weekly.
• Turn on Full details for leads. Search, similar and developer results are short cards. The developer's email, website and phone come with Full details.
• Start small. Try maxReviews: 100 or resultsLimit: 10 first, check the output, then scale up.

Every row is one item, so exports to CSV and Excel stay flat and clean. Each row has:

• rowType: review, app, searchResult, similarApp or developerApp
• country and language: the market it was scraped for

The dataset has three ready-made views: Reviews, Apps, and Search, similar & developer apps.

🛠️ Advanced Tips

• Concurrency: Max concurrency (default 5) controls how many apps, keywords or developers run at once. Raise it for big lists, or lower it if you see retries in the log.
• Proxy: Google Play doesn't block these requests, so a proxy is optional. For very large or frequent runs, Apify Proxy spreads the load. The country is set in the request itself, not by the proxy location.
• Limits that save money: combine Max reviews, Results limit and Max rows to cap a run's size, and Target date to fetch only new reviews.
• Very large review jobs: run one app per run, or schedule runs by country and language, so each finishes quickly and is easy to retry.
• API and automation: start runs from the Apify API, a schedule, or tools like Make and Zapier, and get results through webhooks.

❓ FAQ / Troubleshooting

Do I need a Google account or an API key? No. The actor reads Google Play's public pages, just like a visitor's browser.

Why do I get different reviews when I change the language? Google Play keeps a separate review list per language. Set language to the language of the reviews you want, and run once per language for global coverage.

Why are prices or rankings different between countries? Google Play is localized: prices, currencies, availability and search rankings differ by market. That's exactly what the Countries field captures.

I got fewer reviews than the app shows. Google Play shows the total number of ratings, but only part of them include written text, and they're split by language. Try another language, set maxReviews to 0, and make sure Star rating is set to All.

An app was skipped with "not available". The app doesn't exist, was removed, or isn't sold in that country. Check the package name, or try another country.

How many search results can I get? Google Play's web search returns about 30 results per keyword. Use more specific keywords, or Similar apps, to go wider.

Some search, similar or developer rows have no installs or price. Results beyond the first page of a list come in a shorter format. Turn on Full details for every listed app to fill in every field.

Why is there no email for some apps? developerEmail comes from the store listing, and almost every app has one. Website emails need a website that shows an address in its HTML. Sites built entirely with JavaScript, or that only offer a contact form, return none, and those lookups are free.

Can I get reviewers' emails or phone numbers? No. Google Play doesn't publish any contact details for reviewers, only a display name and avatar. Contact data in this actor is about developers and companies.

Is this legal? The actor collects publicly available data. You're responsible for using it in line with Google Play's terms and data-protection laws such as GDPR and CCPA. Reviewer names and developer contact details are personal data: handle them responsibly, and give people a way to opt out before marketing to them.

Is this an official Google product? No. It's an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Google.
