## Eligibility

### Is this the Google Play Developer API or Play Console?

No. This is public Play Store listing data as JSON — search, app details, reviews, permissions, and the Data safety section. It is not the publisher API and not App signing.

### Is this about Android API level or targetSdk?

No. Those are Play Console submission rules for apps you publish. googleplay.fetcher.sh reads the public store listing, including permissions and Data safety, as JSON.

### Do I need an official developer account?

No. fetcher.sh is not the official Twitter, YouTube, or Google API. You do not register an app, complete OAuth, or wait for platform review. Call a URL; data comes back as JSON.

### Is there a monthly minimum or subscription?

No. There is no monthly plan, no seat fee, and no minimum volume. Pay per call from $0.002. Credits never expire. A $1 credit top-up is only if you want a prepaid API key instead of paying each call.

### Can I pay for a single request?

Yes. Call any endpoint with no credential and pay that one request in USDC via x402. No account, no invoice, no leftover plan.
