Google Play Store Scraper

Yes — an app page anyone can open is public data. Every listing is published for the whole world to read, and we read it the way a visitor does. What you do with it afterwards is on you. More in our guide to the legality of scraping.

No login, no cookie, no Chrome extension. Nothing to sync, nothing to install, no account of yours to put at risk. Paste an app URL or type a keyword and the crawler is away — rarer than it sounds for a store this size.

55 data points per app. Developer, contact email and address, category, price and currency, in-app purchase range, installs, score and the full star breakdown, screenshots, version, changelog, content rating and its chart ranking.

About 240 apps a minute. No browser to wait on and no page to paint — it reads Google Play directly. A shelf of five hundred competitors is catalogued before your coffee goes cold.

Four things, and it works out which one you gave it. An app URL, a bare package id like com.whatsapp, a Play Store search URL, or a plain keyword such as vpn or photo editor. Mix all four in the same list if you like.

Thirty — the first page Google Play serves. That is everything the public search page exposes, so nobody gets more from it. Want deeper coverage? Run several keywords, or feed the app URLs and package ids straight in.

Yes — Collect Reviews adds a row per review under each app. Author, star rating, text, thumbs up, date, app version and the developer's reply. Leave it off and you get one clean row per app, nothing underneath.

Yes — by star rating, by order and by date. Star Rating keeps one rating and nothing else, Review Sort Order picks Most relevant, newest or highest rated, and Newer than stops each app as soon as it reaches an older review.

Country sets the storefront, Language sets the words. Country decides the price, currency and availability on the app row. Language sets the description and, since Google Play groups reviews by the language they were written in, which reviews arrive.

Just about anywhere you already work. Google Sheets, Make, n8n, Amazon S3, email, webhooks — plus our MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can launch a run and read the results for you. CSV, Excel and JSON downloads too. See all integrations.

URL, such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.whatsapp. Paste thousands at once or upload a CSV; duplicate inputs are skipped. 9 settings shape the run: see them in the playground.

55 data attributes per app, each with its description and an example: see the full list.

No. Duplicates are removed, and you only pay for unique results.

As fresh as your run: each run collects the data from the site at the moment it runs, nothing comes from a stored database.

CSV, Excel or JSON from the dashboard, through the API, or sent after every run to Google Sheets, Amazon S3, an SFTP server, a webhook or by email.

7 days on the free plan, 45 days on Starter and Pro, 90 days on Team and Business. Then they can no longer be downloaded. Download or deliver what you want to keep.

Around 240 apps a minute for one squid. Your plan's slots run several squids at the same time.

100.00% of its runs had no incident over the last 90 days (0 incidents, 100% fixed). Every day is on this page.

Our team fixes the scraper: every scraper on lobstr.io is built and maintained by us. How we measure.

Yes, on paid plans: every hour, every day, every weekday or on a custom schedule, in your time zone.

Yes: set the most results per task and per run in the settings. The run stops there and so does the bill.

1 credit per result. The playground shows the price as you pick them.

Yes. The free plan gives 100 credits every month, 100 results with this scraper, exported in full.

Every month a plan gives credits, which pay for results, and slots, which set how many squids run at the same time. Starter: $20 for 10,000 credits; Pro: $100 for 100,000 credits; Team: $500 for 1,000,000 credits. Upgrades start right away and are prorated; downgrades and cancellations take effect at the end of the cycle.

No. Your credits refresh every month with your plan.

You choose, per squid: pause and pick up where it stopped, or end the run. To keep going, upgrade or reset your billing cycle: your plan renews right away and your credits come back. Auto Billing Reset does it for you when your usage crosses a threshold you set.

Yes: paying yearly takes 20% off every plan.

A monthly plan: within 10 days of the charge, if no credit was used in that period. A yearly plan: within 30 days, in full if no credit was used, otherwise minus one month. Cancel from your billing page, then write to contact@lobstr.io. The details are in the terms of use.

Collecting publicly available data is generally allowed, but you choose what you collect and you are responsible for how you use it. Our terms of use (article 6) ask every user to respect the rights of the sites, not to extract substantial parts of a database, not to access confidential data and to follow personal data law such as the GDPR. This is not legal advice.

When results contain personal data, you are the data controller and lobstr.io, a French company, processes them on your behalf, under our personal data agreement. You need a lawful basis for what you collect, must inform the people concerned and honor their requests.

Results: 7 days on the free plan, 45 days on Starter and Pro, 90 days on Team and Business, then they can no longer be downloaded; you can delete them sooner. Your account data: see the privacy notice.

It depends on where the people are. In the EU, prospecting businesses by email is generally possible with an opt-out in every message, while consumers must have agreed first; calls follow each country’s do-not-call list. In the US, CAN-SPAM asks for your address and an opt-out in every email. This is not legal advice.

Yes, through the REST API at https://api.lobstr.io/v1, with your key from the dashboard. The playground’s Code tab writes the calls for your settings, in cURL and Python. The documentation has the full reference.

Yes. Add our MCP server, https://mcp.lobstr.io/mcp, to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any MCP client and sign in with lobstr.io. Your agent shows the cost and asks you before a run spends credits. The playground’s Agent tab gives you a prompt.

No. Credits pay for results, not for requests.

Yes. Point a webhook at your server and lobstr.io calls it when a run succeeds or fails.

Yes, per endpoint: 120 requests a minute on squids and runs, 90 on tasks, 2 a second on results. Above that the API answers 429 with a Retry-After header.
