The skill document
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:
# 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 |
/api/developers/{developerId} | A developer's full app catalog |
Required on search: search. Optional: price (all, free, paid),
country, lang. Reviews require country; optional sort (NEWEST,
RATING, HELPFULNESS).
