## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Play Reviews Scraper — $0.08 per 1,000 reviews

Extract recent public Google Play reviews for one or many Android apps. Get ratings, review text, dates, app versions, helpful votes, author names, developer replies, and current app context in clean JSON, CSV, Excel, or API-ready output.

This Actor is priced for recurring ASO and product workflows: **$0.08 per 1,000 delivered reviews** at launch, plus the tiny Actor-start event and platform usage shown by Apify. Limit a test to a handful of reviews and use Apify's maximum-charge control before running.

### Built for

- App Store Optimization and mobile-growth agencies
- product managers and voice-of-customer programs
- support teams looking for new bugs or complaints
- competitor monitoring and market research
- review sentiment, topic clustering, and AI-agent analysis
- scheduled monitoring of recent reviews by app version or market

### Features

- Multiple Google Play app IDs or URLs in one run
- Country and language selection
- Newest, rating, or helpfulness sorting
- Star-rating, date, and keyword filters
- Developer replies and reply dates
- Current app title, developer, rating count, installs, and version
- Stable review IDs for deduplication across scheduled runs
- No customer API key, browser, or login required

### Example input

```json
{
  "apps": [
    "com.spotify.music",
    "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.youtube"
  ],
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "sort": "NEWEST",
  "ratings": ["1", "2", "3"],
  "sinceDate": "2026-08-01",
  "keywords": ["crash", "login", "subscription"],
  "includeDeveloperReplies": true,
  "includeAppDetails": true,
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 500
}
```

### Output

Each row contains the app ID and title, developer, current app score and version, review ID, author, rating, review timestamp, reviewed app version, helpful-vote count, review text, developer reply and reply date, market, language, and source URLs.

### Monitoring new reviews

Save your input as an Apify task, sort by newest, set `sinceDate`, and schedule the task daily or weekly. Use `recordId` to deduplicate records in your database, spreadsheet, or webhook destination.

### Responsible use

The Actor extracts public review information. Review content belongs to its respective authors and may contain inaccurate, offensive, or personal material. Use the data responsibly, minimize retention of unnecessary personal information, and follow applicable laws and platform terms. This Actor is not affiliated with Google or Google Play.

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call scrapesignal_labs/google-play-reviews-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapesignal_labs/google-play-reviews-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
