Search Google Play for apps by name or use case and get package ID, developer, rating, install range, price, category, content rating and last update. Use the returned app_id for details and reviews; installs is the lower bound of a range, not an exact count.

Price $1.39 per 1,000 requests ($0.001389 per call). Failed calls and empty results are not charged. Synchronous. For slow jobs add "mode": "async" to the body, take the job_id and poll.

AI prompt

Paste this into your AI assistant. It already holds this endpoint's parameters, response fields and an example request, so the assistant can ask what you need and then write the scraper.

Please help me write a data collection script with the EveryInfra Google Play Search endpoint (google_play/search).

Endpoint contract:
- Request: POST https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social with the header Authorization: Bearer <API key>. Read the key from the EVERYINFRA_API_KEY environment variable and never hard-code it.
- In the request body, set platform to google_play and action to search, and put the parameters inside params.
- Required parameters:
  - keyword: A Google Play app-name or use-case query, such as note taking. It is not an exact package-name lookup. Use app_id for app details and reviews.
- Optional parameters:
  - country: Selects the Google Play storefront country or region using a lowercase code such as us. The default is us. It changes the app storefront being queried, not the user's phone region or the developer's nationality.
  - language: Selects the language used for Play Store content and review queries, such as en or zh. The default is en. It does not change country automatically or guarantee that every returned review was written in that language.
  - page_token: Pagination token: pass back next_page_token from the previous response to get the next page; omit it for the first page. Keep every other parameter unchanged. Tokens last 24 hours and each page is one call.
  - limit: The most rows to return in this call, an integer from 1 to 100. The default applies when you leave it out, and a call can return fewer rows. Larger values return 422 before any charge. (default: 20)
- Returns a list of records. Main fields of each record: app_id, url, name, summary, description, developer, developer_email, developer_website, score, rating_count, review_count, installs; 29 fields in total, full list at https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/social/catalog?platform=google_play.
- Example request body:
{
  "platform": "google_play",
  "action": "search",
  "params": {
    "keyword": "habit tracker"
  }
}
- Price: $1.39 per 1,000 requests; failed and empty results are not charged.
- For dozens or hundreds of targets, add "mode": "async" to the body: you get a job_id at once and poll GET https://api.everyinfra.com/api/v1/jobs/{job_id} for the result.
- On 422, fix the request using the suggested parameter names and allowed values in the error; on 429 or 503, wait for Retry-After and try again.

Before writing code, ask me which targets I need, how many, which fields, and what output format I want; then confirm the plan and the rough cost with me.

Response example

Real response

Captured September 26, 2026 at 08:56 (UTC) by calling this API with the parameters in the code sample above. results and count are that call's real response with personal information (names, handles, avatars, profile links, contact details) removed; the list keeps the first 2. id, billing and quota differ on every call, so only their shape is shown.

Response fields

Business data is in results. The table lists the fields a record can contain; values the platform does not show are never made up.

Field	Meaning

`url`	Link to the record on the platform.
`name`	Name of the object itself, for account, product and business capabilities.

`developer_website`	Keeps the platform's own meaning
`score`	Keeps the platform's own meaning

`price`	Price as a number without a currency symbol; see currency.
`is_free`	Keeps the platform's own meaning

Errors and billing

401: Missing or invalid key. Authentication runs before parameter checks, so unauthenticated requests never see the parameter schema.
422: Wrong parameter name or value. The error lists the parameters and allowed values this capability accepts and the closest match; it happens before any charge.
402: Insufficient balance. Top up first.
429: The account's per-minute request limit was reached (all of its API keys count together; a key's own lower limit applies first). Wait for Retry-After and try again; a rate package in the console raises the limit.
503: Could not complete right now. Any charge for the call goes back to your balance automatically, and the billing receipt in the response states the actual outcome, including when it is not yet known. Do not resend blindly.
200 empty: The request completed without data and is not charged (billing.reason = empty_result_refunded).
