App Reviews: Google Play + Apple App Store

Lets an agent answer "what are users saying about this app?". Fetches public reviews from Google Play (by package id or Play Store URL) and the Apple App Store (by numeric app id or apps.apple.com URL), with country, language, sort, star and date filters. Returns typed, compact JSON (rating, text, date, version, developer reply where available). No login needed. Apify hosted MCP server; auth via OAuth or Apify token.

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 section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: JavaScript/TypeScript (npm install apify-client) and Python (pip install apify-client).

README

Google Play Reviews Scraper – Play Store App Reviews API

Fetch public Google Play reviews for one or more Android apps, by package id (com.whatsapp) or Play Store URL. Export structured rows — rating, text, date, version, reviewer name, developer reply — as JSON, CSV, or compact JSON for AI agents.

$0.10 per 1,000 reviews, plus $0.001 per run. Works on Apify’s Free plan ($5/mo platform usage, no credit card required to try).

Looking for iOS reviews? Use the twin Actor, Apple App Store Reviews Scraper.

Try it in one click

The input form on this page is prefilled — press Start and it returns up to 20 recent reviews for Google Translate. A prefill run costs about $0.003.

{ "apps": ["com.google.android.apps.translate"], "country": "us", "language": "en", "sort": "newest", "maxReviews": 20, "maxChargeUsd": 0.05 }

For AI agents

Call with mode=reviews and apps (package ids or Play Store URLs). Optional: country (default us), language (default en), sort (newest or relevant), maxReviews, minScore, maxScore, sinceDate, outputFormat=compact, maxChargeUsd.
Do not use mode=selftest.
Read the default dataset, or key OUTPUT_COMPACT in the key-value store when you asked for compact output (null fields are dropped).
A blocked or invalid app produces a type=error row. The run still succeeds if other apps (or the run as a whole) produced output.
Pricing: apify-actor-start $0.001 (per run at the default 1 GB memory) plus review $0.0001 per delivered review ($0.10 per 1,000). Only type=item reviews are billed; error rows are free. Set maxChargeUsd as a cap. 1,000 reviews ≈ $0.101. 20 reviews ≈ $0.003.

Input

apps — package ids or full Play URLs. If you leave this empty, the Actor uses the prefill app (com.google.android.apps.translate) so an empty run still returns reviews.
country (default us, lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2), language (default en), sort (newest or relevant).
maxReviews — cap on review rows this run (default 20, maximum 2,000).
Optional: minScore, maxScore, sinceDate (ISO date; older reviews are dropped and not billed), maxChargeUsd, outputFormat=compact, proxyConfiguration.

Output

One dataset row per review, plus an error row if a single app fails.

Field	Meaning
`type`	`item` (a review) or `error`
`reviewId`	Stable review id
`appId`, `appName`, `appUrl`	App identifiers
`platform`	`play`
`country`, `language`	Store country and review language
`score`	Star rating, 1–5
`title`	Often `null` — Google Play no longer has review titles
`text`	Review body
`userName`	Reviewer name
`thumbsUp`	Helpful-vote count
`version`	App version the review was written against, when known
`replyText`, `replyDate`	Developer reply, when present
`date`, `dateIso`, `scrapedAt`	Review date and scrape time
`error`	Set on `type=error` rows

Pricing

Pay per event:

Event	Price
Actor start (`apify-actor-start`)	$0.001 per run (at the default 1 GB memory)
Review (`review`)	$0.0001 each ($0.10 per 1,000)

Only delivered type=item reviews are billed. Error rows are free. maxChargeUsd stops the run before it would go over. Works on Apify’s Free plan.

Reliability

If one app is blocked or invalid, that app becomes an error row and the run still succeeds. An empty input uses the prefill app so a first try always returns reviews.

More examples

Several apps, newest first, last 100 reviews, 4–5 stars only:

{
  "apps": ["com.whatsapp", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instagram.android"],
  "country": "us",
  "language": "en",
  "sort": "newest",
  "maxReviews": 100,
  "minScore": 4,
  "maxChargeUsd": 1
}

Reviews since a date, compact output for an agent:

{
  "apps": ["com.spotify.music"],
  "sinceDate": "2026-01-01",
  "maxReviews": 200,
  "outputFormat": "compact",
  "maxChargeUsd": 1
}

Run it on a schedule

Suggested frequency: daily for app-reputation monitoring, weekly for competitor review digests. Set sinceDate so each run keeps only new reviews. Save your input as a Task in Apify Console, then add a Schedule. Send results to Google Sheets, Slack, webhooks, Make / Zapier / n8n, or an AI agent through the Apify MCP server.

FAQ

Is there an official Google Play reviews API? Only for apps you own (Google Play Developer API). This Actor reads the public reviews any visitor can see, for any app, with no Google account or API key.

Do I need a Google account or cookies? No. No login, cookies, or API key.

How many reviews can I get? Up to 2,000 per run with maxReviews (default 20). Use sinceDate, minScore and maxScore to keep only the reviews you need; dropped reviews are not billed.

What does a run cost? $0.001 to start plus $0.0001 per review ($0.10 per 1,000). A 20-review prefill run is about $0.003. maxChargeUsd caps spend. Error rows are free.

Can I get App Store (iOS) reviews too? Yes, with the twin Apple App Store Reviews Scraper. Both return the same review fields, so you can merge them.

Can I use it with AI agents or MCP? Yes, through the Apify MCP server or API. outputFormat: "compact" writes a token-lean copy (OUTPUT_COMPACT) with null fields dropped.

Actor input Schema

`mode` (type: `string`):

reviews is the default and is what a Try-for-free / empty run uses. selftest is an internal health check — do not use it for regular runs.

`apps` (type: `array`):

Google Play package ids (com.example.app) or full Play Store URLs. If empty, the prefill app is used so an empty/QA run still returns reviews.

`country` (type: `string`):

Play Store country as lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (us, de, gb).

`language` (type: `string`):

Review language (Play hl= parameter).

`sort` (type: `string`):

newest (default) returns the most recent reviews first; relevant uses Google Play's most-helpful order.

`maxReviews` (type: `integer`):

Cap on review rows this run. Prefill/default is 20 so Apify QA finishes in under 5 minutes. Maximum 2000 per run.

`minScore` (type: `integer`):

Optional inclusive lower bound on star rating. Reviews below this are dropped and not billed.

`maxScore` (type: `integer`):

Optional inclusive upper bound on star rating. Reviews above this are dropped and not billed.

`sinceDate` (type: `string`):

Optional ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD or full ISO-8601). Reviews older than this are dropped and not billed.

`maxChargeUsd` (type: `number`):

Optional spend cap in USD. The run stops delivering further reviews once this cap would be exceeded. A run costs $0.001 to start plus $0.0001 per review ($0.10 per 1,000).

`outputFormat` (type: `string`):

standard (default) writes normal dataset rows. compact also writes OUTPUT_COMPACT to the key-value store: the same rows with null fields dropped, for AI agents. Same price.

`proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. Datacenter first; use residential only if Play blocks the run.

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config.
