Google Play Store Scraper

Extract app listings, details, and reviews from Google Play Store. Search by keyword, browse by category, or pull top charts. Collect app names, ratings, download counts, prices, developer info, screenshots, and user reviews — all in structured JSON with no browser required.

What it does

• Keyword search — find apps matching any search query
• Category browsing — list apps in any Play Store category (GAME, SOCIAL, PRODUCTIVITY, etc.)
• Top charts — fetch top free, top paid, or top grossing apps
• Direct lookup — fetch details for specific app package names (e.g., com.discord)
• App details — description, version, minimum Android, download count, content rating, screenshots, developer contact
• User reviews — reviewer name, rating, text, likes, date, app version, and developer replies

Usage tips

• Combine searchQuery and productIds in the same run to enrich search results with known apps
• Set includeDetails: false for faster, lighter runs when you only need basic search metadata
• Use chart: topselling_free with appsCategory: GAME to get top free games
• Reviews are paginated in batches of 20; set maxReviewsPerApp up to 200 to collect more
