EveryData platform API
Google Play API
Google Play separates Google Play app discovery, app details, versions, user reviews, and developer replies across 3 documented actions (`search`, `profile`, `reviews`), keeping discovery and object-detail contracts distinct.
Start with `search` to match public results using `keyword`, and use `profile` with `app_id` to retrieve details for a specific public record, keeping the two result shapes distinct.

What does each Google Play action accept?
Each answer below pairs one callable action with its real inputs. Parameter meanings and allowed values are action-specific; a familiar name does not carry the same meaning across every platform.
Official sources are linked only to clarify the platform term beside them. They do not imply platform authorization or endorsement, and they do not add official-site features to the EveryInfra API contract.

Google Play API questions
What can I retrieve with the Google Play API?
Set platform to google_play. The current catalog lists search, app details, and reviews. These action names identify different Google Play objects or views; they are not interchangeable search modes.
Which input starts a Google Play `search` request?
A Google Play app-name or use-case query, such as note taking. It is not an exact package-name lookup. Use app_id for app details and reviews. Send it as keyword inside params.
Which fields can Google Play `search` return?
Its declared schema includes app_id, name, summary, and description. A declared field can still be absent from an individual source record, and every other action has its own field list.
Does every Google Play action return immediately?
No assumption is needed: this page labels each action's delivery mode. The current catalog contains sync delivery; poll a returned job ID only for an action labeled asynchronous.
