App Store and Google Play Scraper: Reviews, Apps, Charts

Get app reviews, full app details, keyword search rankings and top charts from Google Play and the Apple App Store in one Actor. Paste store links or app IDs and the store is detected automatically. No login, no browser, no proxies. Every row has a stable id, so repeated runs are easy to de duplicate.

Typical cost: 1,000 reviews of one app ≈ $0.09, plus a small Apify platform usage charge (usually under $0.01 for a run like that), on every Apify plan.

One example row from a real run, shortened:

The What to get option (mode) picks one of four outputs. You get one dataset row per review, app, search result or chart position.

Reviews (mode: "reviews")

Meaning of the less obvious fields: position is the review's place in the store's list for the chosen order; appRating / appRatingsCount describe the whole app (not the review); appVersion is the app version the reviewer used; sortedBy and ratingFilter repeat the options used for the run.

App details (mode: "appDetails")

ratingsCount counts star ratings, reviewsCount counts written reviews; installs is the public range and installsCount the exact number (Google Play); contentRating is the age rating; minimumOsVersion is the store's text.

Search results and top charts (mode: "search" / "charts")

The dataset has three table views (Reviews, App details, Search results & charts). A RUN_SUMMARY record in the key value store lists how many results were saved, which inputs returned nothing and why.

You pay per event, through your Apify account. Main price: $0.09 per 1,000 reviews on every Apify plan. Every event and plan:

Every run is one HTTP request to the Apify API with your Apify token; the input below is the actor's own example. The synchronous endpoint returns the rows in the response for runs up to 300 seconds; for longer runs start a run and fetch its dataset.

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cheapapi~app-store-google-play-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $APIFY_TOKEN" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"reviews","apps":["https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger","https://apps.apple.com/us/app/telegram-messenger/id686449807"],"keywords":["vpn"],"maxResults":100,"country":"US","language":"en"}'

With the JavaScript client:

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('cheapapi/app-store-google-play-scraper').call({
  "mode": "reviews",
  "apps": [
    "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger",
    "https://apps.apple.com/us/app/telegram-messenger/id686449807"
  ],
  "keywords": [
    "vpn"
  ],
  "maxResults": 100,
  "country": "US",
  "language": "en"
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

Typical run: 1,000 reviews of one app. Prices are per run, taken from the public Apify Store listings (event fees only). Platform usage terms differ between Actors and are not shown in this table; check each listing for how its compute is billed. For this Actor, Apify platform usage is billed separately by Apify on top of the prices shown ("+ usage"; at the default 256 MB a small run typically uses about $0.001 to $0.005, more when a standard speed run waits several minutes).

Prices from public Apify Store listings, checked September 2026. Honest reading: on the Gold plan our review fee is only $0.01 below the two single store leaders ($0.09 vs $0.10), and once our platform usage is added a single store run there can cost about the same or less; the bigger differences are on the Free plan (vs. the Google Play reviews leader), against the general Google Play scraper ($0.30 per 1,000 rows on every plan), against the dual store option, and that one run covers both stores plus app details, keyword rankings and top charts. Competitor prices can change at any time; check their listing before you decide.

• Review monitoring and customer feedback: track new 1-star reviews of your app (or a competitor's) every day and route them to Slack or a support tool.
• Sentiment analysis and AI training data: export thousands of reviews with rating, text, date and app version for NLP or LLM analysis.
• App Store Optimization (ASO): check where your app ranks for target keywords in each country and store.
• Market and competitor research: read the Top grossing / Top free charts per category and country, and pull full app details (installs, price, update cadence).
• Lead generation: collect developer names, websites and support emails from the details of apps in a category.
• Release tracking: watch version, updatedAt and updateNotes of competitor apps.

• App Store: at most 500 reviews per app, country and sort order; the star rating filter is Google Play only; App Store reviews have no helpful vote count and no developer reply field.
• Requests are collected in batches: the minimum is 50 reviews per app, 30 search results per keyword and 50 positions per chart. App Store charts have up to 100 positions, Google Play charts up to 200.
• Some fields are store specific (installs only on Google Play; subtitle and content rating only on the App Store) and are null or empty for the other store.
• Ranks reflect the storefront of the chosen country at the time of the run and can differ slightly from what a signed in user sees on their device.
• The standard processing speed can take several minutes for large runs.
• Not included: in app purchase lists, historical rank charts, and apps that are not available in the chosen country.
