run = client.actor("v0iddo/google-play-app-reviews").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 = {
  "packages": [
    "com.whatsapp",
    "com.spotify.music",

console.log(items);
