Playstore Reviews Scraper

Scrape and collect Google Play Store app reviews into a clean, analysis-ready dataset.

Actor: https://apify.com/fetchcraftlabs/playstore-reviews-scraper

What it does

The Playstore Reviews Scraper gathers fresh public feedback directly from Google Play Store listings. Provide the store URL (or app ID), choose how many reviews you need, and it returns items with review text, ratings, timestamps, locale, and reviewer metadata.

Each run can collect up to 25,000 records per app, so you can move beyond anecdotes and spot trends.

What you get

Complete review history: compare recent vs. legacy feedback.
Structured fields: rating, headline/body text, user, app version, locale, date, helpful votes.
Flexible slicing: scrape single apps, multiple locales, or filter by rating.

Common use cases

Analytics & dashboards: monitor rating, volume, and top themes weekly.
Market & product research: benchmark competitor apps and discover feature requests.
Support & operations: alert on 1-star spikes and cluster issues by keyword.
Growth & marketing: find testimonials and track sentiment after campaigns.

Typical workflow

Enter the Google Play Store URL (or app ID).
Set how many reviews to gather and optional filters (language, country, min rating).
Run the Actor and export results to JSON/CSV or pipe to your analytics stack.

Inputs (high level)

Key inputs you’ll likely use:

appUrls: list of Play Store URLs (or app IDs).
maxReviewsPerApp: limit per app (min 1).
language / country: two-letter codes (e.g. en, us).
reviewsSort: NEWEST, RELEVANT, or RATING.
ratingFilter: return only a specific star rating (1–5).
