## 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-permissions-api-b13e3468
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up all the permissions that the app com.whatsapp requests on the Google Play Store? I want to see exactly what system access it has.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to Android app permission data without OAuth, subscriptions, or a Google account. Ideal for security audits, privacy analysis, automated app vetting pipelines, or competitive research where you need to check permissions for arbitrary apps on demand. Prefer this over manual Play Store browsing or Google's own APIs when you need lightweight, low-friction access billed per call in USDC.

## Known failure modes

- App ID not found on Google Play — returns 404 or empty result
- Invalid or malformed app package name — returns error
- App has been removed from Play Store — may return not found
- Rate limiting or scraping detection by Google — may return error or partial data
- Payment failure via x402 — request not processed

## How this service works

Google Play (play store) data and scraping API: App search, app details, reviews, permissions, data safety, and developer catalogs. 7 REST endpoints from $0.003 per call — no account, no OAuth, no subscription. Pay with x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana) or prepaid credits.

## Output

Returns the list of permissions declared by the specified Android app on Google Play, including permission names, groups, and descriptions (e.g. ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, CAMERA, READ_CONTACTS). The response reflects what the app has declared in its manifest and what Google Play surfaces publicly.
