This guide contains all permissions and requirements for connecting your Google Play Reviews data to Supermetrics.
You can connect to data sources from the Data sources page on the Supermetrics Hub. On the Hub, you can also share an authentication link to connect to a data source you don't have direct access to.
After you connect to the data source on the Hub, you can use the data source connection in all available destinations.
Required permissions
Google Play Reviews is a public data source — you don't need a specific account or permissions to access it. It returns data for any app's 400 most recent reviews in the Google Play Store.
To search for an app's data, you need to pull its app ID from its Play Store URL. This allows you to query that data with Supermetrics. To find this ID:
- Open the Play Store page for the app you'd like to pull data for.
- Look at the URL in your browser bar. The text string after id= is the app's ID. For example, in a URL ending in /store/apps/details?id=ee.example.client, the app ID would be ee.example.client.
