# How do I get SERP data from Google Play and App Store? Google Play and App Store have search engines allowing users to search for mobile applications with keywords. Using the [Google App Searches](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/app_searches/task_post/) and [Apple App Searches](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/apple/app_searches/task_post/) endpoints of [App Data API,](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/overview/) you can access SERP data from both platforms. These endpoints will provide ranking data for each application along with additional app information: its ID, icon, reviews count, rating, price, and other data. #### Collecting SERPs from Google Play 1. Call the Google App Searches Task POST endpoint. `POST https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/app_searches/task_post` 2. Specify the keyword for which you wish to receive an app list. Example `"keyword": "vpn"` 3. Specify the location parameters by adding the `location_name` or `location_code` field to the POST body. You will receive the full list of available locations by making a separate request to the [Locations endpoint.](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/locations/?bash) `GET https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/locations` 4. Specify the language parameters by adding the `language_name` or `language_code` field to the POST body. You will receive the full list of available languages by making a separate request to the [Languages endpoint.](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/languages) `GET https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/languages` 5. Specify the number of apps to be returned in the API response. To do so, add the `depth` parameter and set it to the desired value. **We strongly recommend** setting the parsing depth in the multiples of 100 as our system processes 100 results in a row. Thus, if you specify `depth` as `101` you will be charged for 200 results. Default `depth` value: 100. Maximum `depth` value: 200. Your POST request should be structured as in the following example: `[ { "keyword": "vpn", "location_code": 2840, "language_code": "en" } ]` 6. Send your request and use the Task ID from the response to retrieve the results from the [Google App Searches Task GET Advanced](https://docs.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/app_searches/task_get/advanced/) endpoint. `GET https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/google/app_searches/task_get/advanced/$id` ### Example of the API response: ``` { "version": "0.1.20220428", "status_code": 20000, "status_message": "Ok.", "time": "0.0819 sec.", "cost": 0, "tasks_count": 1, "tasks_error": 0, "tasks": [ { "id": "05161130-2806-0428-0000-7c28f324e6f7", "status_code": 20000, "status_message": "Ok.", "time": "0.0292 sec.", "cost": 0, "result_count": 1, "path": [ "v3", "app_data", "google", "app_searches", "task_get", "advanced", "05161130-2806-0428-0000-7c28f324e6f7" ], "data": { "se_type": "organic", "se": "google", "api": "app_data", "function": "app_searches", "keyword": "vpn", "location_code": 2840, "language_code": "en", "device": "desktop", "os": "windows" }, "result": [ { "keyword": "vpn", "se_domain": "play.google.com", "location_code": 2840, "language_code": "en", "check_url": "https://play.google.com/store/search?c=apps&q=vpn&hl=en&gl=us&price=0", "datetime": "2022-05-16 08:30:26 +00:00", "se_results_count": 0, "items_count": 100, "items": [ { "type": "google_play_search_organic", "rank_group": 1, "rank_absolute": 1, "position": "left", "app_id": "free.vpn.unblock.proxy.turbovpn", "title": "Turbo VPN - Secure VPN Proxy", "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=free.vpn.unblock.proxy.turbovpn", "icon": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/G7AkY7FY1XZQU8Xp_h5OGGovDxySJ2tLSlPxNRfl9E3lKDzyqY-2QYByz3CHovWRcg", "reviews_count": null, "rating": { "rating_type": "Max5", "value": 4.659049, "votes_count": null, "rating_max": 5 }, "is_free": true, "price": { "current": 0, "regular": null, "max_value": null, "currency": null, "is_price_range": false, "displayed_price": null }, "developer": "Innovative Connecting", "developer_url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Innovative+Connecting" }, { "type": "google_play_search_organic", "rank_group": 2, "rank_absolute": 2, "position": "left", "app_id": "free.vpn.unblock.proxy.turbovpn.lite", "title": "Turbo VPN Lite - VPN Proxy", "url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=free.vpn.unblock.proxy.turbovpn.lite", "icon": "https://play-lh.googleusercontent.com/K7Dt5JJVovywDkii68EEcxY6TEHlyRWUQ75xPrbx1e1-wKJR41CwiPVAcHa0E-0GgIE", "reviews_count": null, "rating": { "rating_type": "Max5", "value": 4.640302, "votes_count": null, "rating_max": 5 }, "is_free": true, "price": { "current": 0, "regular": null, "max_value": null, "currency": null, "is_price_range": false, "displayed_price": null }, "developer": "Innovative Connecting", "developer_url": "https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Innovative+Connecting" } // Additional app items omitted for brevity ] } ] } ] } ``` #### Collecting app lists from App Store 1. Call the Apple App Searches Task POST endpoint. `POST https://api.dataforseo.com/v3/app_data/apple/app_searches/task_post` 2. Specify the keyword for which you wish to receive an app list.
