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 App Metadata Snapshot Google Play Store app metadata — name, rating, review count, price, category, developer, last updated — for any Android app, in any country. One row per (package × country). Public store HTML + JSON-LD, no auth. ### What you get ```` { "snapshotAt": "2026-06-03T08:00:00+00:00", "packageName": "com.instagram.android", "country": "us", "language": "en", "name": "Instagram", "description": "Create & share photos, stories, & reels with friends you love", "applicationCategory": "SOCIAL", "operatingSystem": "ANDROID", "contentRating": "Teen", "developerName": "Instagram", "developerUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=…", "imageUrl": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/…", "storeUrl": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android", "ratingValue": 4.01, "ratingCount": 167996413, "price": 0.0, "currency": "USD", "updatedOnLabel": "Jun 1, 2026" } ```` ### How to use **Input.** ```json { "packageNames": ["com.instagram.android", "com.openai.chatgpt"], "countries": ["us", "gb", "de", "br"], "language": "en" } ```` `packageNames` — Android package IDs. Find in the Play Store URL: `play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=`. Common examples: | App | Package | |---|---| | Instagram | `com.instagram.android` | | WhatsApp | `com.whatsapp` | | Spotify | `com.spotify.music` | | ChatGPT | `com.openai.chatgpt` | | TikTok | `com.zhiliaoapp.musically` | | YouTube | `com.google.android.youtube` | | Telegram | `org.telegram.messenger` | | Snapchat | `com.snapchat.android` | | Netflix | `com.netflix.mediaclient` | `countries` — ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 storefront codes. `language` — BCP-47 language code. Affects the language of the description and developer-name fields. ### Pricing PAY\_PER\_EVENT · `$0.0005 per app_metadata_snapshot` · 2 000 snapshots = $1. ### Buyer - ASO consultants tracking competitor rating shifts across markets. - App PMs running weekly rating dashboards. - Mobile analytics shops augmenting their data with current metadata. - Anyone watching for an app pulled from a country store. ### Source `https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=` — Google Play's server-rendered HTML. Metadata comes from the embedded JSON-LD block that Google publishes for SEO + structured search. Browser UA required; no other auth. Actor paces 0.5 s between requests. # Actor input Schema ## `packageNames` (type: `array`): Google Play package names (the `id` in the URL `play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=`). Examples: `com.instagram.android`, `com.spotify.music`, `com.openai.chatgpt`. ## `countries` (type: `array`): ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 storefront codes. Each storefront has its own pricing and ratings. ## `language` (type: `string`): Affects which language the description / developer name are returned in. Default `en`. ## Actor input object example ```json { "packageNames": [ "com.instagram.android", "com.openai.chatgpt" ], "countries": [ "us" ], "language": "en" } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "packageNames": [ "com.instagram.android", "com.openai.chatgpt" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("v0iddo/google-play-app-metadata").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
