google-play

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

A Google Play Store API alternative on fetcher.sh — pay-per-call in USDC via x402, or prepaid credits with a Bearer key, no Google Play Console access. Use when the user wants to search Android apps by keyword with price (free/paid) and country storefront filters, fetch an app's full details, reviews sorted by newest/rating/helpfulness, permissions, or data safety disclosure, list apps similar to a given app, or fetch a developer's app catalog. Also covers Android app store optimization (ASO) research, competitor app monitoring, review sentiment input, and app discovery without Google Play Console developer access.

Google Play API

Google Play Store app search, details, reviews, permissions, data safety, and developer catalogs — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No Play Console access, no developer account, no scraping the storefront HTML.

Base URL:

https://googleplay.fetcher.sh

Authentication

Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the

fetcher

skill:

bash

# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
#    or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps?search=meditation"

# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
#    with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
#    Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.

Every response is

{ "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }

; the HTTP status mirrors

status

.

Endpoints (7 — all GET, $0.003/call)

Endpoint	What it returns
`/api/apps`	Apps matching a keyword; price and country filters
`/api/apps/{appId}`	An app's full details
`/api/apps/{appId}/reviews`	An app's reviews
`/api/apps/{appId}/similar`	Apps similar to a given app
`/api/apps/{appId}/permissions`	An app's requested permissions
`/api/apps/{appId}/datasafety`	An app's data safety disclosure
