📌 What is a Google Play app scraper?

This template searches Google Play using the submitted keywords and returns app names, ratings, companies, and app detail-page URLs. It is useful for mobile-app marketers, developers, competitive-intelligence teams, researchers, and app catalog builders.

Data is collected from Google Play. Google Play is Google's marketplace for discovering and distributing Android apps and games.

💰 Pricing

This template is currently free of charge and has no per-line usage fee. Octoparse plan or resource limits may still apply.

📦 Output

The current published implementation can return the following fields:

  • Name_of_App
  • Rating
  • Company
  • App_Detail_Web_Page_URL
{
  "Name_of_App": "Video Editor & Maker - InShot",
  "Rating": "4.8 star",
  "Company": "InShot Video Editor",
  "App_Detail_Web_Page_URL": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.camerasideas.instashot"

Use the fields and accepted values shown in the Input section. Only user-relevant limits are listed.

What data does this template return?

The current output fields and a representative JSON Data Preview are listed in the Output section. Field availability can vary when the source page does not display a value.

Is this template free to use?
