## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability google-play-app-details-api-fetcher-sh-bcd8a24f
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full Play Store details for com.whatsapp — I want to know its rating, developer, category, and what permissions it requests?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Google Play Store metadata for a specific Android app by its package name without setting up OAuth, a Google developer account, or paying a subscription. Ideal for one-off lookups, agent workflows that need app intelligence, or competitive research. At $0.003/call with pay-per-use USDC pricing via x402, it's cost-effective for low-to-medium volume use cases where the official Google Play Developer API would require account setup.

## Known failure modes

- App not found: returns 404 if the appId/package name does not exist on Google Play
- Invalid package name format: malformed appId returns an error
- Payment failure: x402 payment not accepted or insufficient USDC balance
- Rate limiting or scraping block: upstream Google Play may throttle requests intermittently
- Region-restricted app: some apps may not be available in all regions and return incomplete data
