We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common

  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Read public Google Play data as clean JSON.

    line 34
  2. Very specific:

    You need iOS data: Use the app-store-api skill.

    line 47
  3. Very specific:

    Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh.

    line 71
  4. Distinctive:

    Every response uses the same envelope:

    line 79

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Google Play API skill

Read public Google Play data as clean JSON. This Google Play API skill returns Android app metadata, user reviews, keyword search results and the store's category list — the Android half of app store optimisation work, at 1 credit per call.

This skill wraps 4 live Google Play endpoints from the ScraperSocial API. Public data only, returned as clean JSON.

When to use this skill

  • You are doing ASO for an Android app and need listing data or rankings for a keyword.
  • You need Play Store reviews to track sentiment after a release.
  • A user pastes a Play Store link and asks what the app is or how it is rated.

Do not use this skill when

  • You need Play Console data — installs, revenue, crash rates, or anything tied to a developer account. This reads the public storefront only.
  • You need iOS data. Use the app-store-api skill; app identifiers differ between the two stores.

Setup

export SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY=sk_live_...   # https://scrapersocial.com/app/keys

Signing up at scrapersocial.com/signup includes 100 free credits, no card required.

Permissions and scope

These scripts do exactly three things and nothing else: read one environment variable (SCRAPERSOCIAL_KEY), send HTTPS requests to https://api.scrapersocial.com (the host is a constant in the code, not configurable), and print JSON. They run as node scripts/<name>.js with no other shell use, no file writes and no persistence. call_endpoint.js accepts only the 4 documented /v1/google_play/ paths in the table below and refuses anything else before a request is made.

Every script also accepts --limit, --cursor, --fields, --format and --fresh. --limit is clamped to 50: above that the API returns an async job instead of data.

Example

node skills/google-play-api/scripts/app_search.js "habit tracker"

Every response uses the same envelope:

{ "data": {}, "meta": { "count": 20, "next_cursor": "..." }, "request_id": "a18e4ef88ad4b00b" }

meta appears on paginated endpoints only. Keep request_id — support traces calls with it.

FAQ

How do I get Google Play reviews as JSON?

get_app_reviews.js with the app handle, 1 credit per review returned. Page with --cursor.

How do I find an app by keyword?

app_search.js with a query returns matching apps and their handles, which you pass to get_app_info.js.

Is this an official Google Play API?

No. ScraperSocial is independent and not affiliated with Google. It returns publicly available storefront data only.
