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.

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

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 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.

Now if I put on a video as background audio, the audio plays but the app crashes, so I have to force close the app to shut the audio off and even open the app again. It also runs very hot. more than normal. Like I said, theoretically the app is fine but they need to make it stable again.",

You can't X out of that video and watch another one as it will lag too even if you haven't like the next video. You have to completely X out of the video, close the app and come back in to stop the lagging. Otherwise, I love the app. Hope to see a fix soon. Thanks.",

I hate when playlist Auto expand when you click on a video that's in a playlist including the download playlist. I do it so quick. It glitches out and completely makes it useless with clicking any buttons. I have to restart the app every single time. I want to switch to a different video. Nothing on the screen responds! I would love to see a toggle to turn off auto expand playlist please",
