Google Play Movies Store API

no data yet

Our Google Play Movies Store API allows you to scrape SERP results from Google Play Movies & TV Store. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=google_play_movies. A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google_play_movies utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.

Three types of searches you can do are:
- Query Search: by using q parameter
- Category Search: by using movies_category parameter
- Plain Search: without using q or movies_category parameters

section_page_token

Optional

chart

Optional

Parameter is used for showing top charts. It can return up to 50 results. Each store contains different charts which require different values for retrieving results. To get the value of a specific chart you can use our Google Play Movies Store API JSON output: chart_options[index].value (e.g. chart=topselling_free). It shouldn't be used with the section_page_token, see_more_token, and next_page_token parameters

see_more_token

Optional

Parameter defines the see more token used for retrieving the pagination results from individual sections It is usually found in next page results. It shouldn't be used with the section_page_token, next_page_token, and chart, parameters

Serpapi Parameters

engine

Set parameter to google_play_movies to use the Google Play Movies API engine.

no_cache

Optional

Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Google Play Movies results even if a cached version is already present. A cache is served only if the query and all parameters are exactly the same. Cache expires after 1h. Cached searches are free, and are not counted towards your searches per month. It can be set to false (default) to allow results from the cache, or true to disallow results from the cache. no_cache and async parameters should not be used together.

async

Optional

Parameter defines the way you want to submit your search to SerpApi. It can be set to false (default) to open an HTTP connection and keep it open until you got your search results, or true to just submit your search to SerpApi and retrieve them later. In this case, you'll need to use our Searches Archive API to retrieve your results. async and no_cache parameters should not be used together. async should not be used on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.

api_key

Required

Parameter defines the SerpApi private key to use.

output

Optional

Parameter defines the final output you want. It can be set to json (default) to get a structured JSON of the results, or html to get the raw html retrieved.

API Results

JSON Results

JSON output includes structured data for Movies Store Organic Results, Chart Options, and Top Charts results.

A search status is accessible through search_metadata.status. It flows this way: Processing -> Success || Error. If a search has failed, error will contain an error message. search_metadata.id is the search ID inside SerpApi.

Four types of result structures you can encounter are:
- Rows Results type Organic Results
- List Results type Organic Results
- Top Charts Results
- Chart Options Results

HTML Results

HTML output is useful to debug JSON results or support features not supported yet by SerpApi. HTML output gives you the raw HTML results from Google.
This API does not have html response when using pagination, retrieving top charts, or retrieveing some movies_category results. It is just a text. search_metadata.prettify_html_file contains prettified version of the result. It is displayed in the playground.
