Google Play App List API
Scrape Google Play App List data with one API call. Returns a unified AppList for a Google Play store chart (top free, top paid, top grossing, movers & shakers, etc.), optionally scoped to a category. Each item is the same canonical `App` shape as app-search. Use it to track ranking movements or build a category leaderboard. Sourced from DataForSEO's task-based App Data API.
