Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Google Play Books Search API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/google-play/books with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Google Play Books Search API cost?
$0.0001 per call. Every organization gets 100 free calls per UTC day, shared across eligible SandBase APIs including this one; after that each call is billed at this price from your SandBase balance. There is no subscription.
What parameters does the Google Play Books Search API accept?
No parameters are required. Optional: hl (string), gl (string), q (string), chart (string), next_page_token (string) and section_page_token (string) and 5 more. The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Google Play Books Search API return?
A JSON response returned in the same HTTP request (synchronous).
Do I need a Google Play developer account or API key?
No. Google Play Books Search runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Google Play API access separately.
