google play scraper
Trying to get some review data from google play using the "Google Play Scraper" actor but when I run it I'm only getting one result back, extract of the main page. I've checked the box "include reviews" but maybe I need to include something more specific on the url?

Sure
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.breathhub.main1 I want to do some analysis on the review data
I mean link to your run of "Google Play Scraper" on the platform, so we can check logs/ your input, etc.

🙏 is there an additional step to take out just the review score + review text?
as far as I know this is the best you can get https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/c8IuKhGsTDeJ5Azxt/items?attachment=true&clean=true&fields=reviewsList&format=csv&unwind=reviewsList
you will need to remove other columns manually

Thanks, discovered the unwind option which is great. It's given me 47 reviews of a total of 1.8k - do you know how I increase the # of reviews it scrapes?
@GideonB just advanced to level 1! Thanks for your contributions! 🎉
I checked URL. Yeah, it says that there are 1800 reviews, but they show only those 47 (click on "See all reviews button"). so, Actor scrapes all reviews they provide.
There is no option to get all of them.
