Use POST /web/scrape with formats.parse: true and parseParams: {"type": "prebuilt", "parser": "google-play-reviews"}. Read the result in parsed.data, with parsed.type: "google-play-reviews". See the Quickstart for authentication and SDK setup. Don’t send custom rules with this parser. For CSS selectors and rules, use the Custom parser.

Request

Use the same Google Play app details URL as the Google Play parser, with a package name in id. Optional hl and gl parameters control the locale and default to en and us. The parser requests up to 200 reviews, newest first. There are no request parameters for pagination, review count, or sorting.

Output

When parsed.success is true, the parsed output has this shape:

Review fields

All review fields are present. Unavailable values are null. created_at and developer_reply.replied_at are ISO 8601 timestamps. developer_reply is null when no reply text is available.

Empty results and errors

No reviews produce reviews: []. Google Play also returns an empty review list for an unknown app ID, so an empty list does not establish that the app exists. Read parsed.success before using the data. A failed parse has data: null and can coexist with successful outputs. parsed.type remains "google-play-reviews" even when parsing fails. See timeouts and errors for handling failures.

Request options

This parser fetches source data separately from the rendered page, using a US exit. Content filters and browser actions do not change its results. Browser profiles are unsupported with this parser. Other Scrape controls, including caching, timeouts, and zero data retention, still apply.
