Overview

This node performs a search query specifically targeting the Google Play Games Store using SerpApi's official API. It allows users to retrieve live search data related to games available on the Google Play Games platform. This is useful for developers, marketers, or analysts who want to gather information about games, categories, and trends in the Google Play Games Store.

Use Case Examples

  1. Searching for a specific game title to get detailed information and metadata.
  2. Retrieving top charts or popular games in a specific category or country.
  3. Filtering search results by device type or language to tailor the data for specific user demographics.

Properties

Name Meaning
Search Query (q) Defines the query string to search in the Google Play Games Store.
Country (gl) Specifies the country to use for the Google search, affecting localized results.
Language (hl) Specifies the language to use for the search results.
Games Category (games_category) Defines the games store category to filter the search results.
Device (store_device) Defines the device type for sorting the search results.
Next Page Token (next_page_token) Token used to retrieve the next page of search results. Should not be used with section_page_token, see_more_token, or chart parameters.
Section Page Token (section_page_token) Token used for pagination within individual sections. Safer than see_more_token. Should not be used with next_page_token, see_more_token, or chart parameters.
Chart (chart) Parameter to show top charts in the store. Different charts require different values. Should not be used with section_page_token, see_more_token, or next_page_token.
See more token (see_more_token) Token used for pagination in individual sections, usually found in next page results. Should not be used with section_page_token, next_page_token, or chart parameters.
Disable Caching (no_cache) Forces fetching new results instead of using cached ones. Cache expires after 1 hour. Cached searches are free and do not count towards monthly search limits.
Async (async) Whether to perform the search asynchronously. If true, search is submitted and results retrieved later via Search Archive API. Should not be used with no_cache or on accounts with Ludicrous Speed enabled.
ZeroTrace Mode (zero_trace) Enterprise feature to skip storing search parameters, files, and metadata on SerpApi servers. May make debugging harder.
Output (output) Defines the format of the final output, either JSON (structured) or raw HTML.
JSON Restrictor (json_restrictor) Restricts fields in the response to specified fields and ranges, e.g., organic_results[0:3].{title,snippet}.

Output

JSON

  • search_metadata - Metadata about the search query and results.
  • search_parameters - Parameters used in the search query.
  • search_information - Information about the search results such as total results and time taken.
  • organic_results - List of organic search results from the Google Play Games Store.
  • related_searches - List of related search queries.
  • pagination - Pagination information for navigating through search results.

Dependencies

  • SerpApi API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the SerpApi API key credential is correctly configured and valid.
  • Check that the search query (q) parameter is not empty to avoid empty results.
  • Avoid using mutually exclusive pagination parameters together (e.g., next_page_token with section_page_token).
  • If using async mode, ensure to handle retrieval of results via the Search Archive API separately.
  • Be aware of rate limits and caching behavior to optimize search performance and cost.
