Regular Search API
The Regular Search API delivers a JSON object of Google Play Store app data, based on an app's full name. It can be used to deliver data to users searching for app information in real-time.
Calling the Regular Search API is as simple as running an HTTP Get request. Example: if you search for data an on app called Facebook, use the following URL:
http://api.wheredatapp.com/search?q=facebook
Looking for data from any other app? Just replace "facebook" with your app name search parameter!
The result of the above request will be:
- Apps Category: e.g. "Social"
- App Rating: e.g. 3.9
- Date updated: e.g. 1435805622
- Icon URL: "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/ZZPdzvlpK9r_Df9C3M7j1rNRi7hhHRvPhlklJ3lfi5jk86Jd1s0Y5wcQ1QgbVaAP5Q=w300"
- App Title: "Facebook"
- Download URL: "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana"
- Package: "com.facebook.katana"
- Number of Ratings: e.g. ratings_count: 29588232
- Short Description: "Keeping up with friends is faster than ever"
And this is how a result will look:
