Google Play App Reviews API
Scrape Google Play App Reviews data with one API call. Returns a unified ReviewList of Google Play user reviews for an app, keyed by its package name (`app_id` on every review's `entity_id`). Each review carries the star rating, full text, reviewer name + avatar, helpful-vote count, developer `responses[]` (reply text + date), and publish date — on the SAME canonical `Review` shape used by Amazon, Google Shopping, and Trustpilot. Google reviews have no title (always null). `depth` returns reviews in batches of 150 (max 600). Sourced from DataForSEO's task-based App Data API.
