Google Play Scraper 📱 — Rankings, Reviews & App Details

Scrape Google Play Store data as clean, structured JSON — top-chart rankings by category & country, full app reviews (uncapped & paginated), complete app details, and keyword search. One actor, four jobs.

Fast and reliable: API-first, no headless browser, with proxy rotation and fully-paginated reviews with no artificial cap (the thing most Play scrapers get wrong).

💡 The differentiator: most Google Play actors only do app details + a handful of reviews. This one owns top-chart rankings (a Sensor-Tower-style market-intelligence feed: any category × any country × Top Free / Paid / Grossing) and delivers reviews at scale.

What does it do?

Pick a mode and get clean data:

• 🏆 Rankings — the Top Free / Top Paid / Top Grossing charts for any category and country (up to ~660 apps per chart, with rank position).
• 💬 Reviews — every public review for an app, fully paginated (sort by newest / rating / helpfulness), with rating, text, date, thumbs-up, developer reply and app version.
• 📋 App details — complete app info: rating, ratings & reviews count, ratings histogram, installs, price, IAP, developer, category, content rating, version, screenshots and more.
• 🔎 Search — apps for a keyword (great for ASO / keyword-rank tracking).

Export to JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or pull from the Apify API. Everything is localized by country (gl) and language (hl).

• 💬 Set maxReviewsPerApp high for full review history (Google serves up to ~4,500 per app); reviews are fully paginated.
• ⚡ Keep concurrency moderate and proxy on for large review jobs to avoid rate-limiting.
• 💾 Use the Apify API / integrations to push results into Google Sheets, a database, or a webhook.
