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 Reviews Scraper Extract user reviews and ratings for any Android app from the Google Play Store. Get rating, full review text, app version, author name and avatar, helpful-vote counts, and developer replies — across any country and language. ### What you get - One dataset record per review with: rating (1–5), full review text, author name, author avatar, app version, helpful-vote count, the developer's reply (if any) and reply date, and review timestamp - Sort by **Newest**, **Rating**, or **Helpfulness** - Multi-country and multi-language support — pull reviews from 36+ Play Store regions in any of Google's supported review languages - Unlike the Apple App Store's 500-review cap, the Play Store typically allows **thousands or tens of thousands of reviews per app** - Export to JSON, CSV, or Google Sheets directly from the Apify console ### Use cases - **Product feedback monitoring** — surface complaints, feature requests, and bug reports from real users - **Competitive intelligence** — track sentiment and version-to-version changes across competitor apps - **App Store Optimization (ASO)** — analyze keywords and themes mentioned in positive vs negative reviews - **Customer support triage** — feed reviews into a ticketing system or LLM for tagging and prioritization - **Localization research** — compare review themes across countries and languages - **Developer-response auditing** — track which reviews got replies and how quickly ### How to use 1. Find your app's package name — it's the `id=...` parameter in the Play Store URL. For `play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android`, the App ID is `com.instagram.android` 2. Paste it into **App ID (package name)** 3. Choose the **Country** storefront and **Language** for review text 4. Choose **Sort By** — Newest for monitoring, Rating to see star-distribution patterns, Helpfulness for top community-voted reviews 5. Set **Max Reviews** (0 fetches all available — large apps may take several minutes) 6. Click **Run** — reviews appear in the **Dataset** tab when complete ### Output format Each dataset record: ```json { "reviewId": "b3434aac-97e6-4a91-b5ba-2719f93129c9", "appId": "com.instagram.android", "country": "us", "lang": "en", "rating": 5, "title": null, "content": "Love the new editor — much faster than before.", "version": "428.2.0", "author": "Usha Devi", "authorAvatar": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/a/...", "thumbsUp": 12, "replyContent": "Thanks for the feedback! Glad you're enjoying it.", "repliedAt": "2026-05-08T14:22:00.000Z", "reviewUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android&reviewId=...", "updatedAt": "2026-05-09T08:33:10.787Z", "sortBy": "newest" } ```` ### Input options | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | App ID | Text | Google Play package name (e.g. `com.instagram.android`) | | Country | Select | Two-letter ISO storefront code — `us`, `gb`, `de`, `jp`, `br`, etc. | | Language | Text | Two-letter ISO language code for review text — `en`, `es`, `de`, `ja` | | Sort By | Select | `newest` (default), `rating`, or `helpfulness` | | Max Reviews | Integer | Cap on reviews to return; 0 = all available (can be tens of thousands) | ### Limits - Reviews are localized per region/language — to monitor multiple markets, run the actor once per country. - Large apps (millions of reviews) can take several minutes to fully paginate. For monitoring, set a `Max Reviews` cap and run on a schedule. - Review titles are no longer used by Google Play, so the `title` field is usually `null`. - Review content reflects what's currently shown on Google Play, including any reviews that may have been hidden, edited, or removed since posting. # Actor input Schema ## `appId` (type: `string`): Either the Google Play package name (e.g. 'com.instagram.android') or the full Play Store URL (e.g. 'https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android'). The package name will be extracted automatically. ## `country` (type: `string`): Two-letter ISO country code for the Play Store storefront. Reviews are localized per region — pull each country separately. ## `lang` (type: `string`): Two-letter ISO language code for the review text — e.g. 'en', 'es', 'de', 'ja'. Defaults to 'en'. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Newest returns the most recent reviews first. Rating sorts by star rating. Helpfulness sorts by community vote count. ## `maxReviews` (type: `integer`): Maximum reviews to return. The Play Store typically allows tens of thousands per app. Set 0 to keep paginating until no more pages remain (large apps may take several minutes). ## Actor input object example ```json { "appId": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android", "country": "us", "lang": "en", "sortBy": "newest", "maxReviews": 500 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): One review per record: reviewId, appId, country, lang, rating, title, content, version, author, authorAvatar, thumbsUp, replyContent, repliedAt, reviewUrl, updatedAt, sortBy. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "appId": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("seemuapps/google-play-reviews-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
