FAQ

Does Google Play Scraper extract reviews?

No. Version 0.1 returns app search result cards only. Reviews and full app detail pages should be added as separate validated tools or future slices.

Can I localize results?

Yes. The tool supports Google Play language and country parameters, such as en-US with US or en-AU with AU.

Does it require a Google API key?

No. The tool reads public Google Play result pages through Better Fetch and does not use account-specific Google credentials.
