For comprehensive app store data extraction across multiple platforms, check out these related scrapers. To scrape Apple App Store apps, reviews, and developer data, use the Apple Store Scraper which provides similar functionality for iOS apps.

❓FAQ

Does Google Play Store have API?

No, Google Play doesn't have an official API for retrieving data on games, reviews and devs. While there's (Google Play Developer API) neither of these APIs provide access to the app data .

This is why alternative solutions like Google Play Scraper exist. A scraper is essentially an API of its own if it allows exporting scraped data via an API.

Can I scrape Google Play app reviews if I don't have app IDs?

Yes. Just use Google Play Scraper in two runs. First, scrape app details using search or URL input. Your output from this run will contain App IDs. Then, filter out App IDs from the output and use them as an input for the second run. Done!

Can I integrate Google Play Scraper with other apps?

Yes. This Google Play Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. You can integrate your Google Play data with Zapier, Slack, Make, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive, LangChain and more.

You can also use webhooks to carry out an action whenever an event occurs, e.g., get a notification whenever Play Store Scraper successfully finishes a run.

Can I use Google Play Scraper as its Google Play Store API?

Yes, you can use the Apify API to access Google Play Scraper programmatically. The API allows you to manage, schedule, and run Apify Actors, access datasets, monitor performance, get results, create and update Actor versions, and more.

To access the API using Node.js or Python, you can use the apify-client in NPM package or PyPI package. There are also API endpoints available for extracting Google Play data without a client. For detailed information and code examples, see the API tab or refer to the Apify API documentation.

Is it legal to scrape data from Google Play?

Note that personal data such as names is protected by GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers. We also recommend that you read our blog post: Is web scraping legal?
