Google Play Reviews Scraper

Google Play Reviews Scraper - A tool to scrape user reviews from the Google Play Store with a simple API. Get review details like rating, text content, date, user info, and engagement metrics.

We provide the results in a structured JSON format, eliminating the need for parsing, coding, proxies, or any other web scraping headaches for developers.

How to scrape Google Play Reviews?

Using a simple GET request, you can retrieve Google Play product reviews:

https://serpapi.com/search.json?engine=google_play_product&product_id=com.google.android.apps.maps&store=apps&all_reviews=true&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

Register for free at SerpApi to get your API Key
product_id parameter: defines the product ID to look up reviews for.
store parameter: defines the type of Google Play store (e.g., apps).
all_reviews parameter: must be set to true to enable review retrieval with filtering.

Code examples

Here are some code examples based on your favorite programming languages.

cURL Integration

curl --get https://serpapi.com/search \
 -d engine="google_play_product" \
 -d product_id="com.google.android.apps.maps" \
 -d store="apps" \
 -d all_reviews="true" \
 -d sort_by="2" \
 -d api_key="secret_api_key"

Python Integration

Step 1: Create a new main.py file.

Step 2: Install requests package with:

pip install requests

Step 3: Add this code to your file:

import requests
SERPAPI_API_KEY = "YOUR_SERPAPI_API_KEY"

params = {
    "api_key": SERPAPI_API_KEY,
    "engine": "google_play_product",
    "product_id": "com.google.android.apps.maps",
    "store": "apps",
    "all_reviews": "true",
    "sort_by": "2"
}

search = requests.get("https://serpapi.com/search", params=params)
response = search.json()
print(response)

If you're only interested in the reviews, you can print them from the response directly:

print(response["reviews"])

  engine: "google_play_product",
  product_id: "com.google.android.apps.maps",
  store: "apps",
