How this service works
Get the full list of Google Play app categories. The returned categories can be used with the Charts endpoints (as the category parameter).
Output
Returns a JSON object containing a data array of Google Play category objects, each with an 'id' field (the category identifier to use as the category parameter in chart endpoints) and a 'name' field (the human-readable category label), along with a status string and a unique request_id.
Example use cases
Building Play Store chart explorer
“I want to build a tool that lets users browse top apps by category on Google Play — can you fetch all the available category IDs and names so I can populate the category dropdown?”
Validating category before chart query
“Before I pull the top-grossing apps chart, can you get the full Google Play category list so I can confirm the exact category identifier I should pass in?”
Discovering all Play Store verticals
“What are all the app categories available on Google Play? I want to see every category name and its corresponding ID so I can map them out for my market research dashboard.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.openwebninja.com/play-store-apps/categories?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to discover valid Google Play category identifiers before calling chart or ranking endpoints that require a category parameter. It is the authoritative reference for enumerable category values — prefer it over hardcoding category strings or guessing category IDs, especially when the category list may change over time.
Side effects
- Network or upstream API failure returning a non-200 status
- Empty or null data array if the Play Store category list is temporarily unavailable
- Authentication or payment-related errors if the proxy rejects the request
- Stale category list if OpenWeb Ninja's index hasn't refreshed recently
