ScrapeUnblocker Documentation

The Google Play plugin turns Play Store listings into structured JSON. Give it a package id such as com.whatsapp and it returns the app’s full listing: title and developer with contact details, category, the star score with its rating and review counts and the full histogram, installs, price and in-app purchase range, content rating, description, icon and screenshots, last update, what’s-new notes and the apps Play lists as similar. Or search by keyword and get the matching apps with their package id, developer, score and installs. hl sets the language and gl the store country. No Google Play developer account or API key is involved.

Try it in the dashboard first: app.scrapeunblocker.com/dashboard/plugins. You get a live results view plus a copy-paste snippet.
