Google Play Product API
Our Google Play Product API allows you to scrape SERP results from Google Play. The API is accessed through the following endpoint: /search?engine=google_play_product. A user may query the following: https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google_play_product utilizing a GET request. Head to the playground for a live and interactive demo.
API Parameters
Localization
gl
Optional
Parameter defines the country to use for the Google Play search. It's a two-letter country code. (e.g., us (default) for the United States, uk for United Kingdom, or fr for France). You can find the full list of Google Play country availability here: Google Play Countries. Afterwards, head to the Google countries page page for a two-letter country code.
hl
Optional
Parameter defines the language to use for the Google Play search. It's a two-letter language code. (e.g., en (default) for English, es for Spanish, or fr for French). Head to the Google languages page for a full list of supported Google languages.
Reviews Parameters
all_reviews
Optional
Parameter is used for retriving all reviews of a product. It can be set to true or false (default).
platform
Optional
Parameter is used for filtering reviews by platform.
It can be set to:phone: Phone (default),tablet: Tablet,watch: Watch,chromebook: Chromebook,tv: TV.
It should be used only when all_reviews parameter is set to true.
rating
Optional
Parameter is used for filtering reviews by rating.
It can be set to:1: 1-star,2: 2-star,3: 3-star,4: 4-star,5: 5-star.
It should be used only when all_reviews parameter is set to true.
sort_by
Optional
Parameter is used for sorting reviews by relevance.
It can be set to:1: Most relevant (default),2: Newest,3: Rating.
It should be used only when all_reviews parameter is set to true.
Serpapi Parameters
no_cache
Optional
Parameter will force SerpApi to fetch the Google Play Product 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.
zero_trace
Optional
Enterprise only. Parameter enables ZeroTrace mode. It can be set to false (default) or true. Enable this mode to skip storing search parameters, search files, and search metadata on our servers. This may make debugging more difficult.
API Results
JSON Results
JSON output includes structured data for Apps store, Audiobooks store, Books store, Movies store, TV store, and Reviews 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.
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 showing all reviews, just a text. search_metadata.prettify_html_file contains prettified version of the result. It is displayed in the playground.

Tapping the screen to remove the dim, or just leaving it be until it went away was perfectly fine. Also, for whatever reason, when watching shorts now, there's a play and next button plastered to the middle of the screen that don't go away? I don't get it. 💀",

Usually you can just skip the ad and not worry. The last couple of weeks when I try to watch a video the first ad will play with its 5 seconds til skip and when I go to skip that ad will end but the second one will then play and ill have to wait to skip that one. When it's the same ad it's pretty annoying",

"snippet": "Latest update has absolutely ruined the TV queue feature, went from clicking a video and having the option to play or queue to just playing the video with the queue option stuffed away in the video options. No warning to this update either, just a sudden loss of a useful feature. Between this and the obscene level of ads on even un-monetized videos, this app has become a shadow of what it once was. I'd say try something else if it didn't monopolize the market on top of becoming user unfriendly.",
