# Scrape Google Play app details and search

> Scrapes the Google Play Store. `mode=app` with `app_id` (e.g. `com.whatsapp`) returns one app's full detail as JSON: title, developer and contact, category, `score`/`ratings`/`reviews` and the star `histogram`, `installs`, price / in-app purchases, content rating, description, screenshots, icon, `version`, `updated`, what's new and similar apps. `mode=search` with `q` returns matching apps (package id, title, developer, score, installs, icon, price). `hl`/`gl` set language and store country.
