Request body
JSON, posted to this endpoint.
- querystring
minecraft
Search keywords, as typed into the App Store search box (e.g. budget tracker).
- countrystring
us
Two-letter App Store storefront country code to search (e.g. gb); results, prices, and currency follow that storefront.
- limitinteger
10
Maximum number of apps to return (1-50, default 20).
- requireFieldsarray
Optional; omit it and routing is unchanged, with the cheapest source serving. Name the output fields this request must be able to return, for example `sizeBytes` or `updatedUtc`, and it is served only by a source that returns every one of them. Fields you do not name are still returned whenever the serving source has them. This can raise your price: when the cheapest source cannot return a named field, a dearer source serves, and you are quoted and charged its price. A named field can still be absent on an app that genuinely lacks it. Naming a combination that no single source returns together is refused as invalid input, with no charge.
