Google Apps Results API
For some app-related searches on mobile and tablet, Google search includes the "Apps" block with apps from the app store. Google shows it either as a list of several apps or as a single app card. SerpApi is able to scrape and make sense of this information by extracting position, title, link, product_id, rating, reviews, reviews_original, categories, snippet, and thumbnail of these apps.
The API endpoint is https://serpapi.com/search?engine=google
