Google Play Store is a store where you can find and download various apps and games. There are millions of games and apps in the Play Store for you to download and use.
In this article, we will show you how to scrape app data and rating information from the Google Play Store. With clear code explanations, you can easily complete the required data crawling.
Let's build a Google Play Store Scraper now!
Why scrape data from Google Play Store?
Scraping data from the Google Play Store can provide valuable insights for a variety of purposes. Here are some key reasons why developers, marketers, and researchers might want to scrape this data:
- Analyze trends in app categories, pricing, and user preferences and identify gaps in the market to develop new apps or improve existing ones.
- Monitor competitors' app performance, including ratings, reviews, and download statistics to understand what features or strategies are working for top-performing apps.
- Extract user reviews to identify common issues, feature requests, or areas for improvement, which can help sentiment analysis to gauge overall user satisfaction.
- Analyze developer activity and app functionality.

How to Scrape Google Play Store with Golang?
Prerequisits: Configure the environment
Golang IDE Installation
You can use Golang to program in the Go language.
Go language environment installation
Go language supports the following systems:
- Linux
- FreeBSD
- Mac OS X (also known as Darwin)
- Windows
The installation package download address is: https://go.dev/dl/。
If it cannot be opened, you can use this address: https://golang.google.cn/dl/. Just select the corresponding SDK according to your system.
- UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X, and FreeBSD installation
Use source code installation methods under UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X, and FreeBSD systems:
- Download the binary package: go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz.
- Unzip the downloaded binary package to the /usr/local directory.
Python
tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz- Add the /usr/local/go/bin directory to the PATH environment variable:
Python
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/binThe above can only add PATH temporarily. It will be gone when you close the terminal and log in next time.
We can edit ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile and add the following command to the end of the file, so that it will take effect permanently:
Python
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/binAfter adding it, you need to execute:
Python
source ~/.bash_profile
or
source /etc/profileNote: On MAC system, you can use the installation package ending with .pkg to double-click to complete the installation. The installation directory is under /usr/local/go/.
- Installation on Windows system
On Windows, you can use the installation package with the .msi suffix (you can find the file in the download list, such as go1.24.1.windows-amd64.msi) to install.
By default, the .msi file will be installed in the c:\Go directory. You can add the c:\Go\bin directory to the Path environment variable.
Scrape apps data
Now we officially start crawling Google Play Store Apps data.
Step 1. Get the original data
Observe the Apps page of Google Play Store, select phone by default, the url path is: https://play.google.com/store/apps?device=phone&hl=en&gl=us, the actual data request interface is shown in the figure:
The parameters are divided into: Query String Parameters, Form Data. Next, we use Golang to build an http request to obtain the phone data in Apps.
No additional dependencies need to be imported, only the following is required:
Go
import (
"io"
"log"
"net/http"
"net/url"
"os"
"strings"
)The code for getting data is as follows:
Go
func main() {
// Build Query String Parameters
baseURL := buildUrl()
// Build Form Data
data := buildFormData()
client := &http.Client{}
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", baseURL.String(), data)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Set Headers
setHeaders(req)
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
bodyText, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Write local temporary file
file, err := os.Create("response.txt")
_, err = file.WriteString(string(bodyText))
}
func setHeaders(req *http.Request) {

This data looks messy, so we need to parse the data.
First, we can define several structures to store data. The structural examples are as follows:

go get github.com/json-iterator/goThis step involves more array structure parsing. The sample code is as follows:

}

}
}
return items
}Step 3. Merge the results
Merge the raw data and data analysis together. The main method code example is as follows:
Go
import (
"bytes"
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
jsoniter "github.com/json-iterator/go"
"html"
"io"
"log"
"net/http"
"net/url"
"os"
"regexp"
"strings"
"time"
)
func main() {
// Build Query String Parameters
baseURL := buildUrl()
// Build Form Data
data := buildFormData()
client := &http.Client{}
req, err := http.NewRequest("POST", baseURL.String(), data)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Set Headers
setHeaders(req)
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
defer resp.Body.Close()
bodyText, err := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
// Write local temporary file
file, err := os.Create("response.txt")
_, err = file.WriteString(string(bodyText))
// parse data
organics, items, options := parsing(bodyText)
response := Response{
ChartOption: options,
HighlightItem: items,
OrganicResults: organics,=
}
marshal, err := json.Marshal(response)
returnFile, err := os.Create("return.json")
_, err = returnFile.WriteString(string(marshal))
}When you start the method, you will get two files, one response.txt (original data) and one return.json (parsed data). The following is an example of the comparison between return.json and web page data:
Scrape product reviews data
Step 1. Get the original data
Similar to Scrape apps data, just modify the Query String Parameters and Form Data. The example uses TikTok.
Example of modifying Query String Parameters:
Go
func buildUrl() *url.URL {
baseURL := &url.URL{
Scheme: "https",
Host: "play.google.com",
Path: "/_/PlayStoreUi/data/batchexecute",
}
// Build Query String Parameters
params := url.Values{}
params.Add("rpcids", "CLXjtf,A6yuRe,Ws7gDc,ZittHe,yowZ5,ag2B9c,e7uDs,oCPfdb")
params.Add("source-path", "/store/apps/details")
params.Add("f.sid", "8261825727580601148")
params.Add("bl", "boq_playuiserver_20250318.09_p0")
params.Add("hl", "en")
params.Add("gl", "us")
params.Add("authuser", "")
params.Add("soc-app", "121")
params.Add("soc-platform", "1")
params.Add("soc-device", "1")
params.Add("_reqid", "143380")
params.Add("rt", "c")
baseURL.RawQuery = params.Encode()
return baseURL
}
Modify the Form Data example as follows:
func buildFormData() *strings.Reader {
// Build Form Data
var freq = "[[["CLXjtf","[[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]",null,"1"],["A6yuRe","[[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]",null,"3"],["Ws7gDc","[null,null,[[1,9,10,11,13,14,19,20,38,43,47,49,52,58,59,63,69,70,73,74,75,78,79,80,91,92,95,96,97,100,101,103,106,112,119,129,137,139,141,145,146,149,151,155,169]],[[[1,null,1],null,[[[]]],null,null,null,null,[null,2],null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,[1]],[null,[[[]]],null,null,[1]],[null,[[[]]],null,[1]],[null,[[[]]]],null,null,null,null,[[[[]]]],[[[[]]]]],null,[[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]]",null,"5"],["ZittHe","[[null,[[3,[10]],null,null,[184]],[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]]",null,"7"],["yowZ5","[[null,[[3,[10]],null,null,[184]],[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]]",null,"9"],["ag2B9c","[[null,[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7],null,[[3,[6]],null,null,[1,8]]],[1]]",null,"11"],["e7uDs","[[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]",null,"13"],["Ws7gDc","[null,null,[[52]],[[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,[2]]],null,[[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]]",null,"15"],["oCPfdb","[null,[2,null,[20],null,[null,null,null,null,null,null,null,null,2]],[\"com.zhiliaoapp.musically\",7]]",null,"17"]]]"
var data = strings.NewReader(`f.req=` + freq)
return data
}The following is an example of the returned result:
Step 2. Data analysis
We still need to perform data analysis. The analysis sample code is as follows:

_, err = file.WriteString(string(bodyText))
// parse apps data
info, media, app, badges, cgs, on, safety, what, ratings, reviews, contact, apps := parseProductInfo(GetWrbs(bodyText))
var response = Response{

marshal, err := json.Marshal(response)
returnFile, err := os.Create("return.json")
_, err = returnFile.WriteString(string(marshal))
}When you start the method, you will get two files, one response.txt (raw data) and one return.json (parsed data). The following is an example of the comparison between return.json and web page data:

FAQs
Does Google Play Store have API?
Unfortunately, Google Play does not have an official API dedicated to retrieving games, reviews, and developer data. Although there is a Google Play Developer API, this API cannot access app data. The best approach is to choose to use a third-party API that is cheaper and responds quickly.
You can also use webhooks to perform actions when events occur, for example, you will be notified every time the Play Store Scraper successfully completes its run.
Is it legal to scrape data from Google Play?
Please note that personal data such as names are protected by the EU GDPR and other regulations around the world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason. However, our API only scrapes public data on the web, so you don't have to worry about legal sanctions for using Scrapeless.
