[2026-06-09] — Paywall hardening (pre-launch)
🔐 Changes
Paywall integrity fix — the internal smoke-test override is honored only off-platform; on the platform, only your actual plan tier governs access to the paid App Details & App Reviews operations.
[2026-06-09]
🎉 Google Play Store Scraper — Launch!
The whole ASO toolkit in one run — App Search, Top Charts, App Details, App Reviews and Categories behind a single dropdown, no API key required
All six Top Charts — top-free-apps, top-paid-apps, top-grossing-apps, top-free-games, top-paid-games, top-grossing-games, each category-filterable — a competitive-ranking feed the rest of the market doesn't ship
App Search — free-form keyword search across Google Play, cursor-paginated (~20 apps/page), region- and language-aware
App Details — full single-app enrichment: downloads, ratings, pricing, content rating, developer, version history, "what's new", data-safety disclosures and Android requirements
App Reviews — paginated reviews with text, star rating, author, app version, likes and developer replies; sort by relevance / newest / rating and filter by star
Categories — the full Google Play category list (categoryId + categoryName), always free
Clean, deduped JSON — one flat camelCase row per app, review or category; no raw nested mess, no snake_case duplicates
Two dataset views — Overview (all fields) and Additional (curated key columns)
Pay only for successful rows — failed lookups land as status:"error" rows at $0
Hard paywall on premium ops — App Details & App Reviews are reserved for paying plans; free users get a no-cost upgrade-notice row (no upstream call). App Search, Top Charts and Categories run on every tier
HTML run report — status, success/error counts, success rate, pages fetched and duration, written even on a fatal crash
