search_apps | Search the APK catalogue by name, publisher or package id. Start here when you have a phrase and need a package name. Returns 24 results a page out of at most 60 matches, so paging stops at page 3 — narrow the phrase rather than paging for more. `facets` counts the matches by type and category befor |
get_app | Full record for one package: description, screenshots, rating, tags, and whether a download would be refused. Does NOT list downloadable files — use list_versions for those. An app not in the catalogue yet is looked up on Google Play live, for up to 20 seconds; UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE / UPSTREAM_BUSY t |
check_availability | Free. Whether we hold a downloadable build of each of up to 100 packages, the newest one's versionName and versionCode, and `versions`: every build we hold by versionCode and versionName, highest code first — the cheap way to check for updates before calling list_versions or get_download_url. Send e |
list_versions | Every APK/XAPK build held for a package, newest first, each with its SHA-256. Call this before get_download_url when you want a specific build — the apkId it returns is what that tool takes; without one it serves the newest. Free when we hold no builds for the package (an empty list); request_fetch |
get_download_url | Mint a short-lived signed URL for one build — the newest held unless you pass an apkId from list_versions. Costs 10 credits — the most expensive call here, and the only one that hands over a file. Check get_version_security before handing anything to a person. The URL expires in about 5 minutes; fet |
request_fetch | Ask us to download an app from Google Play when list_versions came back empty. Costs 10 credits, even when we already have builds (`READY`) or Google Play doesn't list the app — so call list_versions first. Free only when a fetch for the app is already running (`FETCHING`). A fetch usually takes a f |
get_fetch_status | Where the fetch request_fetch started stands now: FETCHING (keep waiting), READY (call list_versions), or FAILED with a reason. Free when the fetch is still running (`FETCHING`); the final answer costs 1 credit, and so does a check when no fetch was requested (`FETCH_NOT_FOUND`). When FAILED carries |
request_variant | Ask for an on-demand build of an app's newest release that the ordinary download does not carry: every language (`+all-langs`), the 32-bit ARM build (`armeabi-v7a`), both ARM ABIs in one bundle (`universal`), the newest build for an older Android version (`@sdkNN`), or exactly what one real device g |
get_variant_status | Where one variant of an app stands: READY with the build (its `variantId` goes to get_download_url), FETCHING (keep waiting, 10–30 seconds between checks), FAILED with a reason (request_variant retries), or NEEDS_FETCH (nobody has asked for it, or it expired — call request_variant). Free when the bu |
list_developer_apps | Every app we hold from one publisher, most-installed first. The slug comes from `developerSlug` on any app row. |
list_categories | The category taxonomy, for filtering a search. Free — this call costs no credits. |
list_chart | A ranked section of the catalogue. Google Play's charts (hot, grossing, latest, editors-choice), the catalogue's newest releases (new), what people downloaded here in about the last day (popular), or the newest builds we stored (updated). An unrecognised section falls back to 'hot' rather than faili |
list_similar_apps | Apps related to one package — alternatives and neighbours, as the app's page on the site shows them. Free when there is nothing to list (an empty `items`). A package that is not in the catalogue is a 404 rather than a guess. |
get_play_details | Google Play's full store listing for one package, in any storefront: the star histogram, install estimate, IAP price range, release date, declared permissions, content-rating descriptors, legal publisher and contact details — the store data get_app leaves out. Usually null: the written-review count, |
list_reviews | One page of Google Play user reviews for a package, live: stars, text, helpful votes, the app version the reviewer ran, and the developer's reply. Sort by newest (default), rating or helpfulness; up to 100 a page. Walk further pages by passing `nextCursor` back as `cursor` with the same sort, num an |
get_version_security | What one build actually IS: its SHA-256, the anti-malware verdict, the certificates that signed it, and every Android permission it declares with a plain-English gloss. Defaults to the newest build, so you do not need list_versions first. `findings` is the part to read first: it applies our rules to |
list_sdks | What OTHER companies' code is inside an app: the ad, analytics, attribution, crash-reporting, push and sign-in libraries matched in the build, each with its vendor and where it was recognised. Defaults to the newest build. This is the privacy question, not the safety one — these libraries are ordina |
get_protection | Whether this build is wrapped in a commercial protector — DexProtector, Jiagu, Bangcle, Legu, AppSealing, Google's own PairIP — and what that means for everything else you can find out about it. Defaults to the newest build. A PROTECTOR IS NOT A MALWARE SIGNAL: anti-piracy, anti-tamper and anti-chea |
list_trackers | The privacy question on its own: which advertising, analytics, install-attribution, crash-reporting, push and social sign-in SDKs are in this build, and nothing else. `list_sdks` is the same evidence unfiltered — every recognised library including HTTP clients and UI toolkits — so use that one when |
list_permissions | Every Android permission this build declares, sensitive ones first, each with a readable label, its capability family and a sentence saying what the app can actually do with it. Defaults to the newest build. This is the same labelling compare_versions diffs, so the two cannot name the same permissio |
get_manifest | What the artifact's own AndroidManifest.xml says beyond the permissions it requests — targetSdk, compileSdk, debuggable, cleartext traffic, backup, sharedUserId, install location, uses-feature, uses-library, and the components it exports without a permission guard — plus the native libraries it ship |
get_raw_scan | The whole stored analysis record for one build, exactly as stored and with none of our rules applied — for when you want to judge the facts yourself rather than read our conclusions. It carries two things no other tool publishes: the EVIDENCE DIGEST every SDK match is drawn from (dex package prefixe |
lookup_hash | Which app and which build a file checksum names. Use this when you have a hash and no package name — an APK pulled off a device, a sample from a threat feed, a digest in an incident report. Takes an MD5 (32 hex), SHA-1 (40) or SHA-256 (64) and works out which from the length, so do not try to label |
lookup_certificate | Every package we hold that one signing certificate is on record for. Android only installs an update signed by the key that signed what is already on the device, which makes the signing key the closest thing an app has to an identity across package names — so a key you found on one repackaged app is |
list_developer_certificates | Every signing key on record for one publisher's apps — lookup_certificate read the other way round. Each key says how many of the publisher's apps it signs and, in `elsewhere`, how many packages OUTSIDE the publisher it is also on: zero is ordinary, above zero is a key shared across the publisher's |
get_signing_history | Which certificate signed which releases of a package, and where the key moved. Android will only install an update signed by the key that signed what is already on the device, so a `hasKeyReplacement: true` means the newer build is not an update of the older one — it is a different app under the sam |
compare_versions | What changed between two releases: permissions gained and lost, whether the signing key moved, size and minimum Android. Name either side by version name or by version code — the code is tried first, because a version name is free text the developer sets and is often a placeholder. Order does not ma |
get_apps | Summary rows for up to 100 package ids in one call — use this instead of calling get_app in a loop. Costs 1 credit PER PACKAGE, so a hundred ids cost a hundred credits however they arrive. Ids we do not hold come back in `notFound` rather than failing the call. Returns the SUMMARY row, not the full |
get_account | How many credits are left on the key you are using, and what that key is. Free. Every successful call also reports this in `_meta`, so reach for this one when you need to know before you spend — a download costs 10 — or when your calls have been failing and you have not seen a balance in a while. |
console_list_apps | The apps you manage in the APKCube Developers Console — every app of every developer whose team you are on, 50 a page, with your role on each. Only works for a signed-in user (OAuth) on a verified developer's team. Free. |
console_app_stats | Downloads of one of your apps: per UTC day for the last 30 days (with the 30 before for comparison), the lifetime total, and the top countries of the last 7 days. Counts come from our own download log, not Google Play. Free. |
console_list_uploads | Builds submitted for your apps from the console or the Publishing API, newest first, with each one's status (uploading, verifying, scanning, held, published, rejected …) and, for a held or rejected build, the reason and its stable code. Pass packageName for one app. Free. |
console_upload_status | Where one upload stands, with the scan summary once it has one (VirusTotal counts, signing certificates and how each compares with the keys on record). Poll every 15–30 seconds while status is verifying, scanning or publishing; `held` waits for a person and can take days. Free. |
console_security_report | Every build we store for one of your apps with our scan verdict, VirusTotal counts, signature scheme, how its signing key compares with the keys on record, and any notice you have put on it — plus a one-line verdict on the signing history. `verdict: null` means not scanned, which is not the same as |
console_update_listing | Change the text visitors read on your app's page: the short description (≤80 characters), full description (≤4000, plain text), what's new (≤500) and a YouTube link. Omit a field to keep it; pass null or an empty string to show Google Play's text for it. Goes live immediately; our moderators review |
console_set_version_notice | Put a warning on one stored build of your app — `vulnerable` or `withdrawn`, a message of up to 300 characters, and optionally the version code to use instead — or lift it (`lift: true`). With `blockDownload: true` downloads of that build are refused. Applies immediately and is reversible; it does n |
