# Google Play Store Scraper (`unfenced-group/google-play-store-scraper`) Actor Scrape Google Play app data: ratings, installs, pricing, in-app purchase range, content rating, data safety and screenshots. 50+ fields, the only scraper with multi-country pricing in one run. Flat pricing, no start fee, no hidden per-event charges. - **URL**: https://apify.com/unfenced-group/google-play-store-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Unfenced Group](https://apify.com/unfenced-group) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $0.49 / 1,000 apps This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Google Play Store Scraper Extract structured data for any app on the Google Play Store: ratings, install counts, pricing, content rating, data-safety summary, screenshots, and more. Search by keyword, scrape specific apps, list a developer's catalogue, pull a top chart, or pass full URLs. One feature no other Play Store scraper offers: **compare an app's price across many countries in a single run**. ### No hidden billing events Some Play Store scrapers on Apify split their output across several billable events — you pay separately for the app, then again for permissions, again for the data-safety section, again for each search result. The headline price looks tiny, but a fully enriched app can cost three or four times what the listing suggests. We don't do that. You pay one flat price per app returned. App details, ratings histogram, pricing, in-app purchase range, content rating, data safety, screenshots, and multi-country pricing are all included in that single price. No per-permission charge, no per-section charge, no start fee. What you see is what you pay. ### What you get - **The deepest field set on Apify, with transparent pricing** — 50+ fields per app at a flat $0.69 per 1,000 results, dropping to $0.39 at volume. No start fee, no per-event surcharges. A few actors list a lower headline number, but they're either far thinner or charge separately per section so a fully enriched app costs more. - **The only multi-country pricing in one run** — fetch one app's price across as many storefronts as you like. No other Play Store scraper does this. - **No PII** — we extract company data (developer name, website, privacy policy) but never developer email, phone, or home address, unlike some competitors. - **No proxy needed** — Google Play is reached directly. You never pay a proxy or compute cost; only per result. ### Modes | Mode | What it does | Key input | |---|---|---| | Search | Find apps by keyword | `searchTerm` | | Specific app IDs | Scrape exact apps | `appIds` | | Developer's apps | List a developer's catalogue | `developerId` | | Top charts | Browse the top apps or games chart, optionally by category | `collection` | | Start URLs | Scrape full Play Store URLs | `startUrls` | ### Examples #### Search for podcast apps in the US ```json { "mode": "search", "searchTerm": "podcast", "country": "US", "maxResults": 25 } ```` #### Scrape specific apps ```json { "mode": "apps", "appIds": ["com.spotify.music", "com.whatsapp"], "country": "GB" } ``` #### Compare one app's price across countries ```json { "mode": "apps", "appIds": ["com.mojang.minecraftpe"], "country": "US", "priceCountries": ["US", "GB", "JP", "BR", "IN", "TR"] } ``` #### Top action games, rated 4.5+ ```json { "mode": "collection", "collection": "games", "categoryId": "GAME_ACTION", "country": "DE", "minScore": 4.5, "maxResults": 50 } ``` ### Output fields Every app returns the following fields. | Field | Description | |---|---| | `appId`, `url` | App ID and Play Store URL | | `title`, `summary` | App name and short summary | | `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionText`, `descriptionMarkdown` | Full description in three formats (Markdown is LLM-ready) | | `developer`, `developerId`, `developerWebsite` | Developer name, ID, and website | | `genre`, `genreId`, `additionalGenres` | Category and any secondary categories | | `icon`, `headerImage`, `screenshots`, `screenshotCount`, `video`, `videoImage` | Media assets | | `score`, `scoreText`, `ratings`, `reviews`, `histogram` | Star rating, total ratings/reviews, and the 1–5 star distribution | | `price`, `priceText`, `currency`, `free` | Numeric price, display string, currency code, free flag | | `offersIAP`, `inAppPurchases` | Whether the app has in-app purchases and the raw price range | | `iapMinPrice`, `iapMaxPrice`, `iapCurrency` | In-app purchase range parsed into structured min/max and currency | | `additionalGenres`, `additionalGenreIds` | Secondary genre tags (e.g. "Match 3", "Sandbox") | | `adSupported`, `containsAds` | Whether the app contains ads | | `installs`, `minInstalls`, `realInstalls` | Install band and exact figures | | `released`, `updated`, `updatedTimestamp` | Release and last-updated dates | | `version`, `targetSdkVersion`, `minSdkVersion`, `minAndroidVersion` | App version, target SDK level, and minimum Android requirement (when the developer declares one) | | `contentRating`, `contentRatingIcon` | Content/age rating and its badge image | | `privacyPolicy` | Privacy policy URL | | `dataSafety` | Data shared, data collected, and security practices | | `country`, `language`, `scrapedAt` | Storefront, language, and timestamp | With `priceCountries` set, each app also includes `priceByCountry` (an array of per-country price objects), `countriesPriced`, and `isFreeEverywhere`. #### Example output (abridged) ```json { "appId": "com.mojang.minecraftpe", "title": "Minecraft: Dream it, Build it!", "developer": "Mojang", "genre": "Arcade", "score": 4.32, "ratings": 5697545, "histogram": { "1": 590224, "2": 169575, "3": 263654, "4": 490448, "5": 4183629 }, "price": 6.99, "priceText": "$6.99", "currency": "USD", "free": false, "inAppPurchases": "$0.99 - $49.99 per item", "iapMinPrice": 0.99, "iapMaxPrice": 49.99, "iapCurrency": "$", "installs": "50,000,000+", "realInstalls": 90744889, "contentRating": "Everyone 10+", "dataSafety": { "dataShared": "Location, Personal info, and App activity", "dataCollected": "Location, Personal info and 5 others", "securityPractices": ["Data is encrypted in transit", "You can request that data be deleted"] }, "priceByCountry": [ { "country": "US", "currency": "USD", "price": 6.99, "priceText": "$6.99" }, { "country": "JP", "currency": "JPY", "price": 1300, "priceText": "¥1,300" } ] } ``` ### Pricing $0.69 per 1,000 results, dropping to $0.39 at higher tiers.
