Features

• Multi-app support: scrape reviews for multiple apps in a single run
• Language and country selection: access reviews from any regional Play Store
• Sort order control: retrieve most recent, most helpful, or highest-rated reviews first
• Developer replies included: captures both the reply text and its timestamp
• Thumbs-up counts: see how many users found each review helpful
• Package name or URL input: accepts bare package names or full Google Play URLs
• No credentials required: no Google account needed
• Deduplication: no duplicate reviews in output
• Pay-per-result: you are only charged for reviews that were saved; runs with no reviews cost nothing

Example input

{
  "appIds": ["com.whatsapp", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music"],
  "language": "en",
  "country": "us",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxReviews": 100
}

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
appIds	array or string	["com.instagram.android"]	Package names (e.g. "com.whatsapp") or Google Play URLs (e.g. "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp"). A single value is accepted.
language	string	"en"	Language code of the reviews and store page.
country	string	"us"	Two-letter ISO country code for the Play Store region.
sortBy	string	"newest"	"newest", "mosthelpful" or "rating".
maxReviews	integer	100	Maximum reviews per app (1-5000). Numbers given as text ("20") work too.

An empty input ({}) runs the defaults. Invalid input (for example maxReviews set to an object) stops the run with a clear message before anything is charged. Entries that are not a package name or Play URL are skipped with a warning; apps that do not exist are reported in the run status.
