Google Play API

Name: google-play
Author: fetcher-sh

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).

Scenarios

Free apps only:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "search=meditation" -G \
  --data-urlencode "price=free" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps"

Paid apps, German storefront:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "search=photo editor" -G \
  --data-urlencode "price=paid" \
  --data-urlencode "country=de" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps"

An app's full details, then reviews sorted by rating:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps/com.spotify.music"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "country=us" -G \
  --data-urlencode "sort=RATING" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps/com.spotify.music/reviews"

Permissions and data safety disclosure:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps/com.spotify.music/permissions"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps/com.spotify.music/datasafety"

Apps similar to a given app, and a developer's full catalog:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/apps/com.spotify.music/similar"

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
  --data-urlencode "country=us" -G \
  "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/api/developers/Spotify+AB"

MCP

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "google-play": {
      "url": "https://googleplay.fetcher.sh/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer bby_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Free: search_endpoints, describe_endpoint, check_balance. Paid: fetch_data (any endpoint above), topup_credits, plus the named shortcut googleplay_apps. Drop the headers block to pay per call with x402 instead — see the fetcher skill for the full flow.

Errors

400 — missing/invalid parameter (message names it)
401 — unknown or rotated key
402 — payment required (x402 challenge) or topup_required (credits exhausted)
404 — not a priced path
No rate limits; no refunds on upstream failures (settlement precedes delivery)
