All pages have the same review

Open marceloeler opened this issue 5 years ago • 6 comments

I'm trying to get all reviews of a given app but all pages have the same reviews. For instance, the following requests return the same reviews: http://localhost:3000/api/apps/com.whatsapp/reviews http://localhost:3000/api/apps/com.whatsapp/reviews/?page=1 http://localhost:3000/api/apps/com.whatsapp/reviews/?page=2 ...

Do you have an idea what might be going on? I have already changed dependency on package.json to scrapper 7.0.1.

The most recent google-play-scraper is using num instead of pages, this one needs to update to align with that.

Right. Thanks. So I just set num to retrieve the number of reviews I want? Let's say I want to retrieve all reviews - do I need to retrieve all of them at once? Is there a way to use "num" as we used "pages"?

That's a good question, seems like we missed adding a start option along with the num

That would solve the problem.

How hard is it do get done?

Apparently this is not straightforward to do, see here: https://github.com/facundoolano/google-play-scraper/pull/341#issuecomment-533125234
