GET
Search Apps
Search Google Play for apps and games. Each result is a full AppCard — description, installs, rating, genre, content rating and price — so a search result rarely needs a follow-up detail fetch just to rank or filter. Credits: 5

Example

Response

Result depth

Play server-renders about 30 results per query and exposes no page number — its infinite-scroll continuation is a cluster RPC Google no longer accepts from outside its own client, so there is deliberately no page parameter. Widen a result set with /apps/{id}/similar and /developers/{id}.
Only the apps catalogue is searched. Play’s books and movies catalogues use volume ids rather than Android package ids, so they are not returned here — their ids would 404 against every other route in this API.
