# Google Play Developer Lead Scraper (`scrapemint/google-play-developer-leads`) Actor Search the Google Play store by keyword or category and turn app listings into B2B leads: developer contact email, website, name, category, install band, rating, and monetization flags. One lead per app. No login, no API key. - **URL**: https://apify.com/scrapemint/google-play-developer-leads.md - **Developed by:** [Ken M](https://apify.com/scrapemint) (community) - **Categories:** Business, Lead generation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-usage ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Play Developer Lead Scraper Turn the Google Play store into a B2B lead list. Search by keyword or category and get, for every app, the **developer contact email** and website plus the developer name, app title, category, install band, rating, and monetization flags. One lead per app. The developer contact email is published right on the Play listing, so every lead is reachable out of the box. No login, no API key, no email guessing. ### Who buys this - **App monetization and SDK vendors** selling ads, analytics, payments, or attribution to app makers. - **ASO and mobile-marketing agencies** prospecting app owners. - **Ad networks and mediation platforms** building publisher pipelines. - **Dev-service shops** (design, QA, localization) targeting active developers. ### How it works 1. It collects app IDs at volume: a search per keyword, the top-chart for each category (up to ~250 apps each), and optionally apps similar to the seeds found. 2. It opens each app's detail page and extracts the developer contact email, website, name, category, install band, rating, and whether the app shows ads or in-app purchases. 3. Each app is scored into a tier and pushed as one lead. ### Output One row per app: ```json { "appId": "com.zoho.invoice", "title": "Zoho Invoice - Invoice Maker", "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zoho.invoice", "developerName": "Zoho Corporation", "developerId": "6811281457353247126", "developerUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=6811281457353247126", "developerEmail": "support@zohoinvoice.com", "developerWebsite": "https://www.zoho.com/invoice/", "category": "BUSINESS", "rating": 4.8, "installs": "1M+", "installsNumeric": 1000000, "containsAds": false, "inAppPurchases": true, "tier": "qualified_lead" } ```` ### Tiers and pricing Pay per lead. The first 10 `qualified_lead` per run are free so you can validate output. | Tier | Meaning | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | `listing` | App and developer data, no public email | $0.01 | | `lead` | A developer contact email is published | $0.02 | | `qualified_lead` | Developer email, a website, and installs at or above the bar | $0.05 | Because everything is plain HTTP (no browser), runs are fast and cheap, so a single run can return thousands of leads. ### Input | Field | Default | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | | `keywords` | `[]` | Search terms, one Play search each. | | `categories` | `[]` | Play category IDs (BUSINESS, PRODUCTIVITY, FINANCE, etc.). | | `country` / `language` | `us` / `en` | Store country (gl) and language (hl). | | `collection` | `TOP_FREE` | Chart pulled per category: TOP\_FREE, TOP\_PAID, or GROSSING. | | `expandSimilar` | `false` | Also pull apps similar to the seeds for more volume. | | `maxApps` | `200` | Cap total apps per run. | | `maxAppsPerQuery` | `60` | Cap apps per keyword or category (categories return up to ~250). | | `requireEmail` | `false` | Only keep apps with a developer email. | | `minInstalls` | `0` | Drop apps below this install count. | | `qualifiedMinInstalls` | `10000` | Install bar for the qualified\_lead tier. | | `concurrency` | `10` | Pages fetched in parallel. | ### Good use cases - Build a list of every invoicing or CRM app maker with a reachable email. - Pull the top apps in a category and hand sales a clean publisher pipeline. - Target established developers (high installs, website, email) for enterprise outreach. # Actor input Schema ## `keywords` (type: `array`): Search terms to pull apps for (e.g. invoicing, crm, meditation). Each term is one Play search. ## `categories` (type: `array`): Play category IDs to pull top apps from (e.g. BUSINESS, PRODUCTIVITY, FINANCE, HEALTH\_AND\_FITNESS). Optional, used alongside keywords. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter country code for the store (gl). Default us. ## `language` (type: `string`): Two-letter language code (hl). Default en. ## `collection` (type: `string`): Which chart to pull for each category. TOP\_FREE is the broadest. ## `expandSimilar` (type: `boolean`): Widen the net by also pulling apps similar to the first seeds found. Increases volume and diversity. ## `maxApps` (type: `integer`): Cap total apps scraped per run across all queries. ## `maxAppsPerQuery` (type: `integer`): Cap apps taken from each keyword or category. ## `requireEmail` (type: `boolean`): Skip apps that do not publish a developer contact email. ## `minInstalls` (type: `integer`): Drop apps below this install count. Zero keeps every app. ## `qualifiedMinInstalls` (type: `integer`): Installs at or above this, with an email and website, tier a lead as qualified\_lead. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): Pages fetched in parallel. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Apify proxy. Recommended at volume so Play does not rate limit a single IP. ## Actor input object example ```json { "keywords": [ "invoicing", "crm", "habit tracker" ], "categories": [], "country": "us", "language": "en", "collection": "TOP_FREE", "expandSimilar": false, "maxApps": 200, "maxAppsPerQuery": 60, "requireEmail": false, "minInstalls": 0, "qualifiedMinInstalls": 10000, "concurrency": 10, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
