Google Play Lookup

There's no free public Google Play API. Use these approaches:

Web Search

web_search: "site:play.google.com/store/apps QUERY"

Direct App Page Scraping

web_fetch: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=PACKAGE_ID&hl=en&gl=us

⚠️ Google Play pages may return limited content or block automated requests. If web_fetch returns incomplete data, fall back to web_search results which typically include rating, download count, and developer info in the snippet.

Extract from the fetched HTML (when available):

Title, developer, rating, review count, downloads
Description, what's new, screenshots

Google Play Package ID

The package ID is in the URL: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app

Step-by-Step Instructions

Search for Apps by Keyword

URL-encode the search term
Fetch: https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=ENCODED_QUERY&country=us&entity=software&limit=10
Parse JSON response
For each result, present: name, developer, rating, review count, price, and App Store link

Get Detailed Info for a Specific App

Find the app's Track ID (from a search, or from the App Store URL — the number after /id)
Fetch: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=TRACK_ID&country=us
Present full details: rating, reviews, version, release notes, price, size, description

Compare Two Apps

Look up both apps: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=ID1,ID2&country=us
Present side-by-side comparison of key metrics

Check an App's Rating Across Countries

Look up the same ID with different country codes:
- https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=APP_ID&country=us
- https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=APP_ID&country=gb
- https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=APP_ID&country=de
Compare ratings and review counts by region

Find Both iOS and Android Versions

Search iOS: iTunes Search API with the app name
Search Android: web_search "site:play.google.com/store/apps APP_NAME"
Fetch the Google Play page with web_fetch for details
Present both platforms' data

Finding App IDs

From App Store URL: apps.apple.com/us/app/app-name/id553834731 → ID is 553834731
From search results: The trackId field
From bundle ID lookup: If you know the bundle ID (e.g., com.spotify.client)

Error Handling

No results: The search term may be too specific. Try broader terms or check spelling.
API error / timeout: Retry once. The iTunes API is generally reliable.
Rate limited: Wait 60 seconds. Consider caching results for batch lookups.
Country not found: Verify the two-letter ISO country code.
App removed from store: The lookup will return resultCount: 0. Inform the user the app may have been removed.
Google Play scraping fails: The page structure may have changed. Fall back to web_search results.

Examples

Example 1: "How's the Spotify app rated?"

Fetch: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=com.spotify.client&country=us

Example 2: "Find fitness apps with good ratings"

Fetch: https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=fitness&country=us&entity=software&limit=20

Then filter results where averageUserRating >= 4.5 and sort by userRatingCount.

Example 3: "Compare Notion and Obsidian on the App Store"

Look up both apps and present a comparison table.
