run_input = {'packageNames': ['com.instagram.android', 'com.openai.chatgpt']}

run = client.actor("v0iddo/google-play-app-metadata").call(run_input=run_input)
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

JavaScript (apify-client)

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const input = {
  "packageNames": [
    "com.instagram.android",
    "com.openai.chatgpt"
  ]
};

const run = await client.actor('v0iddo/google-play-app-metadata').call(input);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

cURL
