Parameters

A keyword search answers in `organic_results`; a `chart` query answers in `top_charts` instead, alongside `chart_options`. This is the only engine here where the query term is optional — a bare engine=google_play call is a valid, BILLABLE request that returns the store's default browse content, so always send `q` or `chart` deliberately. For a single app's detail page SerpApi has a separate `google_play_product` engine.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description	Example
Query parameters
`q`	string	Optional	the search term. OPTIONAL on this engine — omit it and supply `chart` to browse top-charts instead of searching	`coffee`
`gl`	string	Optional	country code, e.g. us	`us`
`hl`	string	Optional	interface language code	`en`
`age`	string	Optional	age bracket within the FAMILY category
`chart`	string	Optional	browse a chart instead of searching, e.g. topselling_free, topselling_paid
`engine`	string	Required		`google_play`
`store_device`	string	Optional	phone \| tablet \| tv \| chromebook \| watch \| car. NOTE: the param is `store_device`; there is no `store` param on this engine
`apps_category`	string	Optional	restrict to a Play category
