# Google Play App Info API (https://www.socialcrawl.dev/platforms/google_play/app-info)

> Returns the full canonical `App` record for one Google Play app keyed by its package name (`app_id`) — title, description, developer block (incl. email/address/website), rating, price, install count + display ('1,000,000,000+'), version, size, screenshots, genres, chart tags, similar apps, and update date. The `app.store` field is always "google_play"; Apple-only leaves (advisories, languages) are null. Get the `app_id` from /v1/google_play/app-search. Sourced from DataForSEO's task-based App Data API.

TL;DR: `GET /v1/google_play/app-info` costs 5 credits per call and returns SocialCrawl's unified JSON schema. Single x-api-key auth, 100 free credits on signup.

## FAQ

### How do I get full app detail from the Google Play app data API?

Send a GET request to /v1/google_play/app-info with the package name (app_id) like com.spotify.music. The response is a single canonical App with description, developer, install count, current version, screenshots, genres, and similar apps.

### What fields does the Google Play app-info endpoint return?

Beyond title and icon, app-info returns the full description, developer name, install count, content rating, current version, last-updated date, screenshot URLs, genre list, average rating with count, and a list of similar apps.

### Where do I find the package name to pass?

Run app-search or app-listings-search first — every result carries its package name as app_id. That value (for example com.spotify.music) is the identifier you pass to app-info and app-reviews.

### How much does the Google Play app data endpoint cost?

App-info runs on the advanced tier at 5 credits per call. New accounts get 100 free credits with no credit card, and a package name that returns nothing is refunded automatically.

### Can I get screenshots and similar apps?

Yes. The detail response includes an array of screenshot URLs and a similar-apps list, each entry carrying its own package name so you can fan out from one app into related listings.
