How to get all reviews of the “ANY” app programmatically from the Google Play Store?
Is it possible to get all reviews for any app from the Playstore?
I
researched and discovered the new Google Developer Review API, but I don’t think it works only for the apps I develop.
Correct me if I’m wrong.
Can I use Google’s Developer Reviews API to get reviews for any app on the Play Store?
Solution
I couldn’t find any available resources on the internet to fulfill my request to read playstore reviews.
Some sources pointed me to the newly launched Google Reviews API, but after wasting money I realized that the API only allowed me to get reviews for my app only. Uh…
Finally I created an automation to get reviews of “any” app from the playstore.
Find automation in https://github.com/shivang1989/playstoreReview
Simply trigger the command python getReviews.py and provide the package name for your application.
Automation will fetch all comments and store them in an HTML file named below:
<package-name>_decoded.html
Note that this HTML will be the raw output and include all comments. You can use this HTML file as needed.
I hope this will help others looking for similar requests.
Thank you.
