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.

How do I get Google Play reviews via API?
Send a GET request to /v1/google_play/app-reviews with the package name (app_id) like com.spotify.music. The response is a unified ReviewList with each review's rating, title, text, author, helpful votes, date, and any developer reply.
Do Google Play reviews include developer replies?
Yes. When a developer has responded to a review, that reply is returned alongside the review text, so you can track support quality and response coverage, not just raw ratings.
What fields does each Google Play review include?
Every review carries a rating (value and max), the review text, the author name, the helpful-vote count, the app version reviewed when present, the publication date, and the developer reply, all in the shared Review schema used across platforms.
How much does the Google Play reviews endpoint cost?
Reviews run on the advanced tier at 5 credits per call. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card, and a package name with no reviews returns a not-found response that is refunded automatically.
Can I control how many reviews I get back?
Yes. An optional depth parameter sets how many reviews to retrieve, and you can sort by newest or most relevant. Pass the package name from app-search or app-listings-search to target a specific app.
