App Data is the primitive that gives your agent access to mobile application intelligence from Google Play and the Apple App Store. Search for apps by keyword, get detailed app metadata, collect user reviews, browse top charts, and search live app listings — all through a unified API. Most endpoints use the Standard (async) method; App Listings provides instant live results.

All Standard and Live endpoints are available for both Google Play and Apple App Store via the same route pattern: /v1/app-data/{google|apple}/{endpoint}.

Async Workflow (Standard Endpoints)
Standard endpoints use a three-step async pattern:
- Submit a task via
POST /v1/app-data/{platform}/{endpoint} — returns a task ID.
- Check readiness via
GET /v1/app-data/{platform}/{endpoint}/tasks-ready — returns ready task IDs.
- Retrieve results via
GET /v1/app-data/{platform}/{endpoint}/:task_id — returns full results.
Google Play standard endpoints also support an HTML format: GET /v1/app-data/google/{endpoint}/:task_id/html.
Response (task submit):
Response (task get — app-searches):

Response (task get — app-info, Google Play):
Parameters (app-info)
| Param | Type | Required | Default | Description |

Google Play standard endpoints support two retrieval formats via the task-get URL:
| Format | URL Pattern | Description |
|---|
| Advanced (default) | GET /v1/app-data/google/{endpoint}/:task_id | Structured JSON with parsed fields |
| HTML | GET /v1/app-data/google/{endpoint}/:task_id/html | Raw HTML from the app store page |
Apple App Store endpoints only support the advanced (default) format.
Credit Costs
| Operation | Endpoints | Cost |
|---|
| Task submission (task_post) | app-searches, app-list, app-info, app-reviews | 10 credits |
| Live | app-listings | 10 credits |
| Task retrieval (task_get) | All standard endpoints | Free (included with submission) |
| Tasks ready check | All standard endpoints | Free |
| Meta / Utility | locations, languages, categories, id-list | Free |
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Recovery |
|---|
insufficient_credits | Not enough credits for the operation | Check balance with GET /v1/status |
invalid_platform | Unknown platform slug | Use "google" or "apple" |
invalid_app_id | Missing or malformed app identifier | Provide a valid package name (Google) or numeric ID (Apple) |
task_not_found | Task ID doesn’t exist or has expired | Resubmit the task |
task_not_ready | Task is still processing | Poll tasks-ready or wait and retry |
provider_error | Data provider returned an error | Retry after a few seconds |
Google Play endpoints support HTML format for task retrieval — append /html to the task-get URL to receive raw app store HTML instead of parsed JSON. This is useful when you need the full page layout or want to extract fields not covered by the advanced format.
