Filtering Google Play apps with one API call

Every filter of the search endpoint, how they combine, and five ready-made queries.

One endpoint, many filters

/search takes any combination of filters and returns matching apps as JSON, 100 per page at most. At least one of category, install floor, rating, release date, language or a search word is required.

curl -H "X-API-Key: $API_KEY" \
  "https://apksort.com/api/v1/search?category=EDUCATION&free=true&ads=false&min_score=4.5&sort=ratings"

Five useful queries

• Clean apps for children: category=FAMILY&ads=false&iap=false&min_installs=100000
• Paid apps that sell well: free=false&min_installs=100000&sort=installs
• Loved by many: min_score=4.7&min_ratings=1000000&sort=ratings
• Fresh and serious: released_from=2026-01-01&min_installs=1000000
• Neglected giants: min_installs=10000000&sort=updated&order=asc

Sorting

sort accepts installs, real_installs, score, ratings, reviews, released, updated and price; order=asc turns it around.
