Google Play Scraper: App Details, Installs, Ratings & Search

Scrape Google Play app details for any Android app: installs (bracket and exact count), rating, rating count and the 1-5 star histogram, price, in-app purchases, ads, category, version, last update, what's new, developer website and support email, and more. Look up apps by URL or package name, or search Google Play by keyword and get full details for each result in search order. Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from your code, Make, Zapier, n8n, or an AI agent via MCP.

FAQ

Is it legal? This Actor collects public Google Play listing data without logging in. Developer contact fields are the public support details developers publish on Google Play; use them lawfully (e.g. GDPR/CAN-SPAM). We do not collect developers' postal addresses or phone numbers. Not affiliated with Google.

Why is version null for big apps? Google shows "Varies with device" for apps with several builds.

Why at most 30 search results? That is what Google Play shows for a search.
