FetchLayer FetchLayer API

Getting Started

Search Google Play apps and fetch their reviews in three steps.

1. Get your API key

Create an account and generate a FetchLayer API key from your dashboard.

2. Search for an app

bash
curl -X POST https://api.fetchlayer.dev/playstore/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ss-your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"habit tracker","country":"us","price":"free"}'

Tip

Only query is required. Every app in apps carries an appId — the package name the reviews endpoint takes.

3. Fetch reviews

bash
curl -X POST https://api.fetchlayer.dev/playstore/reviews \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ss-your-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"appIdOrUrl":"com.spotify.music","pages":1,"reviewsPerPage":20,"sortBy":"newest"}'

Tip

Pass either a Google Play package ID or a full listing URL in appIdOrUrl. Add rating, date, language, or version filters only when needed.
