At most 8,192 UTF-8 bytes. - `country` string: Two-letter country or storefront code, such as us or gb. - `language` string: Provider-supported language code, such as en. - `limit` integer: Maximum number of items to return. The provider may return fewer. - `next_page_token` string: Copy the opaque next_page_token from the previous response using the same account, search parameters, device, and result limit. Tokens expire after one hour; restart pagination if rejected or expired. - `device` 'desktop' | 'mobile' | 'tablet': Device presentation for the source request. - `html` boolean: Return the encoded original response rather than parsed JSON. - `zero_trace` boolean: Do not archive source or parsed response artifacts. - `category` 'ANDROID_WEAR' | 'ART_AND_DESIGN' | 'AUTO_AND_VEHICLES' | 'BEAUTY' | 'BOOKS_AND_REFERENCE' | 'BUSINESS' | 'COMICS' | 'COMMUNICATION' | 'DATING' | 'EDUCATION' | 'ENTERTAINMENT' | 'EVENTS' | 'FAMILY' | 'FINANCE' | 'FOOD_AND_DRINK' | 'HEALTH_AND_FITNESS' | 'HOUSE_AND_HOME' | 'LIBRARIES_AND_DEMO' | 'LIFESTYLE' | 'MAPS_AND_NAVIGATION' | 'MEDICAL' | 'MUSIC_AND_AUDIO' | 'NEWS_AND_MAGAZINES' | 'PARENTING' | 'PERSONALIZATION' | 'PHOTOGRAPHY' | 'PRODUCTIVITY' | 'SHOPPING' | 'SOCIAL' | 'SPORTS' | 'TOOLS' | 'TRAVEL_AND_LOCAL' | 'VIDEO_PLAYERS' | 'WATCH_FACE' | 'WEATHER': A category identifier supported by this operation. - `store_device` 'phone' | 'tablet' | 'tv' | 'chromebook' | 'watch' | 'car': Native device storefront. Cannot be combined with query or category. - `age` 'AGE_RANGE1' | 'AGE_RANGE2' | 'AGE_RANGE3': Age band, available only in the children’s category. - `chart` 'topselling_paid' | 'topselling_free' | 'topgrossing': Native top chart, up to50 results. Cannot be combined with query or pagination tokens. - `section_page_token` string: Pagination selector returned by a native shelf. Cannot be combined with another pagination token or chart. - `see_more_token` string: Pagination selector returned by a native shelf. Cannot be combined with another pagination token or chart. - `output` 'json' | 'html' | 'md' | 'null', nullable: Response content format. md returns Markdown in data.content with data.format=md; the JSON success/request envelope remains. Accept: text/markdown also selects Markdown unless output or html=true is explicit. html is an alias for html=true and retains the existing Brotli/Base64 source format. - `json_restrictor` string, nullable: Select fields within data.content for JSON or Markdown. Supports comma-separated paths, non-negative array indices, half-open slices [0:3] (either bound may be omitted), [] and .{nested,subqueries}. Up to128 selections and16 levels. Missing fields are omitted; selected declared fields retain their zero defaults. The request envelope and credit headers remain. Include next_page_token when pagination is needed. Incompatible with HTML output. This changes response presentation only; tracing-enabled history retains the complete JSON result. - `no_cache` boolean, nullable: Accepted for compatibility. Searches are always fetched without a result cache for either value; normal successful-request billing applies. ## Response `200` Request completed. One credit is charged, including recognized empty or unavailable source results and source inventory changes discovered after a valid continuation is fetched. These completed responses may preserve verified partial results; operational failures remain errors. - CatalogGooglePlayAppsResponse - `success` true, required - `request_id` string, uuid, required - `data` union, required - MarkdownSearchData - `format` union, required - '' - 'md' - `content` string, required: Markdown derived from the parsed result, after any json_restrictor selection. - ProjectedSearchData - `format` union, required - '' - 'json' - `content` object, required: Only fields selected by json_restrictor. Selected fields retain their declared types and zero defaults. - object - `format` 'json', required - `content` object, required - `has_next_page` boolean, required - `next_page_token` string, required: Opaque continuation token valid for one hour and the same account. Retain search parameters, device, and result limit. Restart pagination if the token is expired or rejected; tokens from before the authenticated-token rollout cannot be reused. - `results` object[], required - `author` string, required - `authors` string[], required - `bundle_id` string, required - `category` string, required - `category_id` string, required - `content_rating` string, required - `currency` string, required - `description` string, required - `developer` string, required - `developer_id` string, required - `developer_website` string, required - `duration` string, required - `duration_minutes` number, required - `free` boolean, required - `id` string, required - `information` object[], required - `name` string, required - `values` string[], required - `installs` string, required - `isbn` string, required - `languages` string[], required - `minimum_installs` number, required - `minimum_os_version` string, required - `name` string, required - `operating_system` string, required - `pages` number, required - `position` integer, required - `price` number, required - `price_text` string, required - `published` string, required - `publisher` string, required - `rank` integer, required - `rating` number, required - `rating_count` number, required - `rating_text` string, required - `release_notes` string, required - `released` string, required - `screenshots` string[], required - `summary` string, required - `supported_devices` string[], required - `thumbnail` string, required - `title` string, required - `type` string, required - `updated` string, required - `url` string, required - `version` string, required - `version_text` string, required - `search_parameters` object, required - `age` string, required - `category` string, required - `chart` string, required - `country` string, required - `device` string, required - `engine` string, required - `language` string, required - `limit` integer, required - `operation` string, required - `pagination_limited` boolean, required: True when further pagination is unavailable. A completed source-stale request can contain verified results or an empty array; next_page_token is an empty string. - `pagination_reason` string, required: stale_cursor means a valid continuation was fetched but its source inventory changed. The HTTP 200 response is billable; keep any verified results and restart pagination. - `query` string, required - `store_device` string, required - `type` string, required - `url` string, required - `sections` object[], required - `section_page_token` string, required - `see_more_token` string, required - `title` string, required - `serp_features` object[], required - `confidence` number, required - `engine` string, required - `extracted_at` string, required - `id` string, required - `items` object[], required - `link` string, required - `product_id` string, required - `text` string, required - `thumbnail` string, required - `title` string, required - `links` object[], required - `title` string, required - `url` string, required - `position` object, required - `absolute` integer, required - `source_result_ids` string[], required - `text` string, required - `title` string, required - `type` string, required - GoogleHtmlSearchData - `format` union, required - '' - 'html+br+base64' - `content` string, byte, required: Base64-encoded bytes. Decode Base64 first, then decompress the result with Brotli. Available deferred or lazy-loaded thumbnail sources are placed in image src attributes, within size limits; image and video files are not downloaded. When rewrite_links is true, already-resolved opaque Google anchor links use their destination URLs. Unresolved links are preserved. ## Other responses - `400`: The JSON body, source selection, or continuation is invalid. Locally malformed, forged, expired, or mismatched tokens are rejected before source work and require restarting pagination. A source may also reject an otherwise well-formed selector after acquisition. These errors do not spend a search credit. Source inventory changes discovered during a valid request return a completed response instead. - `401`: The API token is missing, invalid, expired, or revoked. - `402`: No credits remain. - `429`: Account rate limit exceeded. - `500`: The request could not be completed. --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/prismcrawl/apis/prismcrawl-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/prismcrawl/apis/prismcrawl-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/prismcrawl/apis/prismcrawl-api/revisions/eef17f6c02a5?raw)
