## Pricing

from $1.20 / 1,000 apps

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

### What is Google Play Scraper?

Google Play Scraper is an Apify Actor that reads any Android app's Google Play Store listing — **title, developer, rating, price, installs, category, media links, description and optional reviews** — and returns **one clean row per app**. Give it a package id (`com.spotify.music`), a full [Play Store URL](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music), or `search:<term>` to pull the top search results for a keyword. No login, no proxy, no headless browser — every field comes from the same hydration data and structured metadata the Play Store web page itself renders from.

### What data does Google Play Scraper extract?

Google Play Scraper extracts around 35 fields per app:

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `appId`, `url`, `query` | string | Package id, canonical detail URL, and the input entry that produced this row |
| `title`, `summary`, `description` | string | App name, one-line summary, full description (truncated to 5,000 characters) |
| `developer`, `developerId`, `developerUrl`, `developerEmail`, `developerWebsite` | string | Publisher identity and contact details |
| `score`, `ratingCount`, `reviewCount`, `histogram` | number, object | Average rating, total ratings/reviews, and the 1-5 star breakdown |
| `price`, `currency`, `isFree` | number, string, boolean | Purchase price in the storefront currency |
| `containsAds`, `offersIAP` | boolean | Whether the listing shows the ads badge or an in-app purchase price range |
| `installs`, `minInstalls` | string, number | Install count range as displayed, and its lower bound |
| `version`, `androidVersion` | string | Current version and minimum Android OS version, when disclosed (see Limitations) |
| `contentRating`, `genre`, `genreId`, `categories` | string, array | Age rating and category tag(s) |
| `released`, `updatedAt`, `daysSinceUpdate` | string, number | First release date, last update date, and days since |
| `iconUrl`, `headerImage`, `screenshotCount`, `privacyPolicyUrl` | string, number | Media links |
| `reviews` | array | Newest reviews (id, userName, score, text, date, thumbsUp, replyText, replyDate, version) when **Include reviews** is on |
| `error`, `scrapedAt` | string | Per-app failure note and scrape timestamp |

### How to use Google Play Scraper

1. Paste package ids, full Play Store URLs, or `search:<term>` entries into **Apps** — one row comes back per app, or per top search result.
2. Set **Country** and **Language** to read a specific storefront; pricing and availability can differ by country.
3. Turn on **Include reviews** and set **Max reviews per app** to also pull each app's newest reviews.
4. Click **Start**, then export the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

### How the data is extracted

Google Play's detail pages embed a large `AF_initDataCallback({key:'ds:5', data:[...]})` hydration payload — the same technique used by this suite's Chrome Web Store Extension Scraper — that carries almost every field: rating, histogram, price, installs, developer contact, media links and, for single-APK apps, version and minimum Android version. This is cross-checked against the page's `application/ld+json` structured data (name, rating, price, content rating) and, for the category tag(s), the rendered genre chip HTML. A field missing from all three sources is reported as `null` rather than guessed. `search:<term>` entries are resolved by reading the Play Store search results page for package ids, which are then scraped exactly like any other app. Reviews, when requested, use the same unauthenticated `batchexecute` endpoint the open-source `google-play-scraper` npm package uses — no login required.

### Limitations

Google's array layout is undocumented and unversioned; a future redesign could shift the field indices, in which case affected fields degrade to `null` rather than break the run — check the Issues tab if a run starts returning unexpectedly empty fields. `version` and `androidVersion` are only available for apps Google serves as a single APK; multi-variant apps (most large apps, including Spotify and Duolingo) show no single version on the web listing, so these come back `null` by design. `size` is always `null` — Google Play's web detail page no longer publishes install size. A single `search:<term>` fetch returns roughly 20-30 unauthenticated results with no further pagination, so `searchLimit` above that is a ceiling, not a guarantee. The reviews endpoint is an undocumented Google API and could change without notice.

### Pricing

Google Play Scraper uses pay-per-event pricing, billed per app row returned, plus a negligible actor-start fee, platform usage included. Set **Maximum cost per run** and the Actor trims the app list to what the budget covers instead of overspending.

### Google Play Scraper vs. manual lookups

Checking installs, rating trends or a competitor's latest update one listing at a time does not scale past a handful of apps. Google Play Scraper takes a whole portfolio or a whole search results page in one run, returns a flat dataset ready for a spreadsheet or BI tool, and can be scheduled to catch a rating drop or a policy change the day it happens.

### Using Google Play Scraper with AI agents and MCP

Google Play Scraper is pay-per-event with limited permissions — the two requirements for an Actor to be callable through the Apify MCP server at `mcp.apify.com`. An agent passes `apps` and gets one structured row per app back, ready for an ASO audit, a competitor-monitoring step, or a "what does the market think of this app" reviews summary. The same run works from n8n, Make, Zapier and LangChain through Apify's integrations.

### FAQ

**Why are `version` and `androidVersion` null for most apps?** Google Play serves large apps as multiple APK/AAB variants targeting different devices, and the web listing shows no single version number for those — only single-APK apps disclose one.

**Is this legal to run?** Yes. This Actor reads the same public HTML, structured data and review data Google already serves to any visitor's browser; no login or bypass of any access control is involved.

**Can I look up an app by developer instead of package id?** Not directly — search `search:<developer name>` for a keyword match, or scrape each of the developer's known package ids.

**What happens if a package id doesn't exist?** The row comes back with `error` set (e.g. "App not found, removed, or not available in the requested country") and every data field `null`, so the run still succeeds and you can see which ids failed.

# Actor input Schema

## `apps` (type: `array`):

Enter the apps to scrape, one row is returned per app. Use the package id, e.g. com.spotify.music, a full Play Store URL, e.g. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spotify.music, or search:<term>, e.g. search:meditation, to scrape the top search results for a term.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Enter the 2-letter country code for the Play Store storefront to read, e.g. us, gb, de. Pricing, availability and installs shown can differ by country.

## `language` (type: `string`):

Enter the 2-letter language code for the app title, description and other text, e.g. en, es, de.

## `searchLimit` (type: `integer`):

Enter how many apps to return per search:<term> entry, e.g. 20. A single Play Store search page load returns roughly 20-30 unauthenticated results with no further pagination, so this is a ceiling, not a guarantee.

## `includeReviews` (type: `boolean`):

Turn this on to add the newest reviews for each app (capped by "Max reviews per app"). Uses the same unauthenticated batchexecute endpoint the open-source google-play-scraper npm package uses for reviews — no login required, but it is an undocumented Google endpoint and could change without notice.

## `maxReviewsPerApp` (type: `integer`):

Enter how many of the newest reviews to fetch per app when "Include reviews" is on, e.g. 50. Ignored when "Include reviews" is off.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Enter the maximum number of apps to fetch in parallel, e.g. 3. Google Play has no published rate limit for these endpoints, but a lower value is safer for long lists.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "apps": [

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "apps": [
    "com.spotify.music",
    "com.duolingo",
    "search:meditation"
  ],
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "searchLimit": 20,
  "includeReviews": false,
  "maxReviewsPerApp": 50,
  "maxConcurrency": 3
}' |
apify call webdatatools/google-play-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,webdatatools/google-play-scraper"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
