Google Play Reviews Pro API

Scrape public Google Play reviews by package ID or Play Store URL. Get review text, rating, author, helpful votes, app version, developer replies, timestamps, and optional app metadata without a Google account, browser, or API key.

Why this Actor?

The Store has very cheap review scrapers, so this Actor is not built to win by dumping the price. It is designed for cleaner unattended workflows:

• batch up to 50 apps
• newest, relevance, or rating sort
• star-range filters
• minimum helpful-vote filter
• developer-reply filter
• case-insensitive text filter
• reviewed-after / reviewed-before windows
• app metadata row with title, developer, score, installs, price, version, and genre
• duplicate-review suppression
• invalid apps and empty filtered results return free diagnostic rows
• billing only on rows actually emitted
• clean stop at the user's maximum run charge

Input example

{
  "appIds": ["com.spotify.music", "com.duolingo"],
  "language": "en",
  "country": "us",
  "sortBy": "newest",
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 1000,
  "minScore": 1,
  "maxScore": 3,
  "hasDeveloperReply": "any",
  "reviewedAfter": "2026-09-01",
  "includeAppDetails": true
}

Review output

Each billed review row contains:

• package ID and Google review ID
• reviewer display name and avatar
• 1-5 score
• full review text
• helpful/thumbs-up count
• review timestamp
• app version when exposed
• developer reply and reply timestamp when present
• review permalink

App metadata

When Include app metadata is enabled, one app row is also emitted with title, developer, overall score, ratings/review counts, installs, real/min installs when available, price/currency, current version, and genre.

Filters and billing

Filters are applied before review rows are billed. If you ask for only 1-2 star reviews containing "crash", reviews outside those filters are scanned but not charged.

Invalid package IDs, apps that cannot be read, and apps with no matching reviews produce a structured success: false row and no review-result charge.

Pricing

Planned Store pricing:

• Review result: $0.00020 each — $0.20 per 1,000 delivered reviews
• App details: $0.001 per successfully emitted app-metadata row
• Actor start: $0.00005 minimum start event

This is deliberately above the $0.08-$0.10 ultra-low-cost tools and around the price of richer competitors, while providing advanced pre-billing filters and a richer metadata contract.

Reliability

Google Play reviews are fetched through the store's public review endpoint using native continuation tokens. No browser or residential proxy is required. Requests are bounded and retried; batches continue when one app fails.

Review availability depends on the selected language/country storefront. A country is the storefront view, not necessarily the reviewer's physical location.

Limits

• up to 50 unique apps per run
• up to 50,000 emitted reviews per app
• up to 200,000 emitted reviews per run
• public Google Play data only

Use public review data in accordance with applicable platform terms, privacy rules, and local law.

Support

For a reproducible issue, include the package ID, language/country, filters, and Apify run ID. Never post API tokens or private credentials.
