Google Play Reviews Scraper

Scrape reviews, ratings, and developer replies from any Android app on the Google Play Store. This actor is built for automation, supporting multiple apps and countries in a single run.

Overview

This tool extracts structured review data from the Google Play Store without requiring a browser. It's useful for App Store Optimization (ASO), sentiment analysis, competitor research, and market analysis. You can scrape reviews from over 50 country-specific Play Store versions.

Key Features

• Multi-App & Multi-Country: Scrape reviews from several apps and/or multiple geographic regions simultaneously.
• Rich Data Extraction: Captures ratings, full review text, author information, thumbs-up counts, app version, and developer replies.
• Filtering: Limit results to specific star ratings (e.g., only 1-star or 5-star reviews).
• Flexible Input: Use either Google Play package IDs (com.twitter.android) or full app URLs.
• Optimized Performance: Uses a fast, headless scraping method.

How to Use

Configure the actor using input parameters. The core parameters are appIds (or appUrls) and countries.

Finding the App ID

The package ID is found in the app's Play Store URL:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=**com.twitter.android**

Example Inputs

{
  "appIds": ["com.twitter.android"],

  "appIds": ["com.twitter.android", "com.instagram.android"],
