Google Play Product Scraper

Google Play Product Scraper - A tool to scrape detailed product information from the Google Play Store with a simple API. Get app details like description, rating, reviews, developer contact, media assets, and more.

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 Product details?

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

https://serpapi.com/search.json?engine=google_play_product&product_id=com.google.android.apps.maps&store=apps&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 on Google Play.
• store parameter: defines the type of Google Play store (e.g., apps, movies, books).

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 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"
}

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