## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Google Play Reviews Scraper — Fast & Reliable

Extract **Google Play Store reviews** for any Android app — across countries and languages — as clean, structured JSON. Full pagination, developer replies, no login, no browser.

### What you get per review

```json
{
    "review_id": "c36023d8-bf71-4c9b-8e67-8eedf27253bd",
    "author": "Aarti Jain",
    "author_image": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/...",
    "rating": 4,
    "text": "Great app but the latest update is slow...",
    "timestamp": 1784321643,
    "thumbs_up": 12,
    "app_version": "382.0.0.0",
    "reply_text": "Thanks for the feedback! ...",
    "reply_timestamp": 1784400000,
    "app_id": "com.instagram.android",
    "lang": "en",
    "country": "us"
}
```

### Why this scraper

- ✅ **Full pagination** — fetch hundreds or thousands of reviews per app, not just the first page
- ✅ **Multi-country & multi-language** — reviews differ per storefront; capture them all
- ✅ **Developer replies included** — see how the publisher responds
- ✅ **No browser, no login** — direct data endpoint, fast and cheap
- ✅ **Structured JSON** — ready for Sheets, BI, or LLM sentiment pipelines

### Use cases

- **Product & QA**: track complaints and crash reports by app version
- **ASO / mobile marketing**: mine competitor reviews for gaps and keywords
- **AI & NLP**: feed structured review text into sentiment/LLM analysis
- **Agencies**: automated weekly review digests for clients

### Input example

```json
{
    "appIds": ["com.instagram.android", "com.spotify.music"],
    "countries": ["us", "gb"],
    "language": "en",
    "sort": "newest",
    "maxReviewsPerApp": 500
}
```

### Companion actor

Pairs with the **App Store Reviews Scraper** for full cross-platform (iOS + Android) review coverage.

### FAQ

**Is this legal?** Reads publicly available Play Store reviews — the same data anyone sees on the store page. No login, no private data.

**How many reviews can I get?** Pagination continues until Google stops returning a next-page token or you hit your `maxReviewsPerApp` limit.
