Google Play Scraper Input Parameters

You should insert the input in JSON format to this scraper with the Google Play pages list you want to visit. Check the below-required data fields.

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	Array	startUrls Array It is the optional input field to place the Google Play URL list. You must only give developer page, search, or application page links.
includeReviews	Boolean	This input field will add each review that the source platform gives in application objects. Note that the API's resources and time will proportionally increase by the review count.
endReviewsPage	Integer	endReviewsPage Integer It is the optional field to feed the final review count page you wish to scrape.
proxy	Object	Proxy configuration

Using this API would help if you used proxy servers to scrape data. You can use your proxy or try the Real Data API proxy.

Advice

If you wish to extract many application reviews, use endReviewsPage. Though this API can scrape all the reviews, the total resource consumption will increase significantly.

Calculate Unit Consumption

The API is optimized to extract more and more details quickly. Hence it forefronts each detail request. If Google Play doesn't block this API, it will scrape a hundred apps within a minute with 0.001 to 0.003 compute units.

Input Example of Google Play Scraper

{
  "startUrls":[
    "https://play.google.com/store/search?q=hello&c=apps&hl=tr&gl=US",
    "https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Mattel163+Limited",

  ],
  "includeReviews":true,
  "endReviewsPage":1,
  "proxy":{
    "useRealdataAPIProxy":true
  }
}

While Executing

The API will give you output messages about what's happening. Every message includes a short specifications label to inform which page the API is scraping. After loading items from the page, you must read a message about this activity with the total item count and loaded item count for every page.

If you give the wrong input to the API, it will fail to execute and give you the failure reason in the output.

Google Play Export

While executing, the API saves the output into a dataset. There are separate columns and rows for each item in the dataset.

You can export outputs in any coding language like NPM, PHP, Python, etc.
