## What it is
A Python library that provides APIs to crawl the Google Play Store for app details, reviews, and other data without any external dependencies. It is inspired by the Node.js google-play-scraper project and supports language and country parameters via ISO standards.

## Use cases
- scrape google play app details in python
- fetch app reviews from google play store
- get app metadata like title and description for android apps
- crawl google play store data without dependencies
- collect play store reviews for sentiment analysis
- search google play for apps by keyword

## When to choose
- you need Google Play Store data in Python with zero external dependencies
- you want app details, reviews, or permissions from Google Play
- you need multi-language and multi-country scraping support

## When to avoid
- you need to scrape the Apple App Store or other stores
- you prefer a Node.js scraper (use facundoolano/google-play-scraper)
- you need a fully maintained service with guaranteed uptime against Google's page changes

## Facets
