New Google Play Store API for apps, details, and reviews
Three endpoints for the Play Store, returning Android app search results, full product pages, and paginated user reviews as structured JSON.
The Google Scraper API now covers the Play Store catalog through three endpoints: Search, App Details, and Reviews.
What's covered
| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|---|
/plugin/google/play-store | App search by q, apps_category, or chart. Up to 20 cards per page with title, package id, rating, author, price, thumbnails. |
/plugin/google/play-store/product | Full product page for any product_id: long description, category, downloads bucket, version, release notes, screenshots, header image, developer name + URL + email. |
/plugin/google/play-store/reviews | Paginated user reviews with rating, snippet, ISO date, installed app_version, helpful count, and developer responses when present. |
Why it matters
- Three endpoints, one schema family. Consistent field naming across search, product, and reviews. The
product_idreturned on search is the same identifier you pass to product and reviews. - Browse by query, category, or top chart.
chart=topselling_free,topselling_paid,topgrossing, or any of the Play Store category ids (GAME_PUZZLE,COMMUNICATION,FAMILY, etc.). - Localization. Pass
gl=de&hl=defor the German store,gl=jp&hl=jafor Japanese. Prices come back in the local currency, ratings reflect the local user base. - Device + age filters. Restrict search results to
phone,tablet,tv,chromebook,watch, orcarviastore_device. Browse the kids' catalog withapps_category=FAMILY&age=AGE_RANGE2. - Token-based pagination. Pull
pagination.next_page_tokenfrom any response and pass it back to fetch the next page. Works on both search and reviews.
Each request costs 10 credits. See the Google Play Store API documentation for the full parameter list, response schema for each endpoint, and pagination patterns.
