Google play app
One app's Play Store listing, with its ratings breakdown.
Address the app by app_id (the Android package name, e.g. com.whatsapp)
or by its full store url, the package is read out of the ?id= parameter.
Returns title, description, summary, icon, header image, screenshots, the developer block (name, id, site, email, address), the exact rating plus the full 1-5 star histogram, rating and review counts, installs, price/currency, ads and in-app-purchase flags, content rating, genre, release and update dates, version, Android requirements, privacy policy and what's new.
A package that does not exist in the requested country's store is a clean
404, note that means "not available in country", which is not the same as
"does not exist anywhere".
