i used https://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/ but it's old and sometimes buggy when trying to download some apps.

this api is great, but missing search for free apps.

What do you mean by 'missing search for free apps'

Akdeniz commented 11 years ago

Hi @yaronyosef ,

You can check this answer : https://github.com/Akdeniz/google-play-crawler/issues/6#issuecomment-15925197

For example to list free apps under TOOLS category:

java -jar googleplay.jar -f crawler.conf list TOOLS -s apps_topselling_free

yaronyosef commented 11 years ago

yes, i saw that answer, your solution for listing apps is only for top selling in specific category without a query term.

but i'm looking for a way to do an open search for a term and get all the results fiterd for free downloads.

currently, the results are a mix of paid and free apps.

is there an option like that?

Akdeniz commented 11 years ago

No, there is not. Your only chance is searching for a query and filtering returned results afterward.

Fuzion24 commented 11 years ago

You can do this very nicely interactively from the SBT console, if you'd like :)

yaronyosef commented 11 years ago

ok, thank you. it would be great to have this feature in the future :)
