# google_play.app_list

**beta** **7 credits** **needs a pack**

Google Play top chart (top free, top paid, top grossing, movers and new releases) for a store country.

`GET /v1/google_play/app_list`

> [!NOTE] **Beta.** This endpoint has not yet been verified against the live source, so fields may be missing or differ until it becomes stable. Failed calls are refunded.

> [!NOTE] **Needs a pack.** Needs a purchased pack and a verified email; free credits do not reach this endpoint. See [pricing](https://onekey.dev/pricing).

## What you get

A list of Google Play results in Onekey's unified shape, in `data` (an array). An empty array is a normal, successful answer and is charged like any other; a source that reports "nothing found" as an error returns a free `404 not_found` instead.

## What it costs

- **7 credits** for a fresh fetch, charged only when it succeeds.
- **Free when served from cache (0.2 credit for a cached response over 100 KB).**
- **Free** if the request is invalid (never charged) or the source fails or reports not found (refunded).

## Field mapping

How this endpoint's source fields become Onekey's [unified schema](https://onekey.dev/docs/schema.md). Fields the source lacks come back as `null`.

| Source path | Onekey field | Transform |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `app_id` | `entity.id` | - |
| `title` | `entity.name` | - |
| `url` | `entity.url` | `safeUrl` |
| `icon` | `media.thumbnailUrl` | `safeUrl` |
| `rating.value` | `entity.stats.rating` | `toNumber` |
| `rating.votes_count` | `entity.stats.ratingCount` | `toNumber` |
| `rank_group` | `entity.stats.rank` | `toNumber` |
| `developer` | `author.displayName` | - |
| `developer_url` | `author.url` | `safeUrl` |

## Caching and freshness

- Fresh for about 30 minutes. Repeat calls in that window are served from cache and are free.
- Between 30 minutes and 6 hours the cached copy is still served instantly and marked `stale: true` while Onekey refreshes it in the background.
- If the source is down when a refresh is needed, the last copy can be served for up to 1 day more (marked stale).
- A "not found" is remembered for 2 minutes and is free.
- The cache is shared across all customers, which is what keeps repeat calls cheap.

## What can go wrong

| Status | Code | What to do |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 401 | `unauthorized` | Check the `x-api-key` header. |
| 402 | `insufficient_credits` | [Add credits](https://onekey.dev/pricing); your balance must cover the price. |
| 404 | `not_found` | Unknown endpoint path. |
| 422 | `invalid_params` | Fix the parameters using the table above. Free. |
| 429 | `rate_limited` | Wait `Retry-After` seconds, then retry. |
| 502 | `upstream_error` | The source failed. Refunded; retry with backoff. |

See [Errors](https://onekey.dev/docs/errors.md) for the full list and retry guidance.
