Dataify Google Play

When the user requests "call Google Play" or "app store search/ranking", or explicitly mentions the Google Play search field, the dataify-google-play skill i...

Use this skill to turn a user's Google Play request into a Dataify Scraper API call.

Required Pre-Call Confirmation

Before every real API call, follow this confirmation flow. These rules override any older workflow order in this skill.

1. Parse the user's request into the API body fields and fixed engine value.
2. Apply defaults only when the parameter description explicitly states a default. Do not use example YAML values, sample prompts, placeholder values, or examples such as pizza, us, en, dates, airport codes, or tokens as defaults.
3. If a required parameter has no documented default and cannot be inferred from the user request, ask for that parameter before building the table.
4. Show a Markdown table before calling the API. Do not include Authorization. Include the complete body field list from this skill's reference document, including engine, even when a field is currently blank.
5. The table must have exactly these columns: 参数名, 当前值, 默认值, 说明.
6. After the table, ask the user whether they want to modify any parameter. Do not call the API until the user explicitly confirms.
7. If the user changes a parameter, regenerate the table and ask for confirmation again.
8. If the token is missing, stop and tell the user to sign in at Dataify Dashboard to obtain DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.

Use the bundled preview helper whenever possible to generate the confirmation table from this skill's reference document:

bash

python3 scripts/preview_params.py --params-json '{"q":"USER_QUERY"}'

Pass every parsed current value to preview_params.py using --params-json or matching --field value arguments. The helper reads defaults and descriptions from references/*api.md; if the helper cannot parse a default, leave the default blank rather than inventing one. 9. After confirmation and token handling, call the bundled Python script with python3 and return the API response body directly without summarizing, extracting, cleaning, translating, or reshaping it.

Workflow

1. Parse the user's request into Dataify Google Play fields. Use q as the app-store search query and set engine to google_play.
2. If the token is missing, stop and tell the user to sign in at Dataify Dashboard to obtain DATAIFY_API_TOKEN.
3. Build request parameters with only the fields the user requested plus required defaults. Use json: "1" unless the user asks for another output format. Do not treat example values in the API docs as defaults.
4. Before calling the API, show the complete field checklist as a Markdown table with exactly these columns: 参数名, 当前值, 默认值, 说明. Include every request field from references/google_play_api.md, including engine. Then ask the user whether to modify parameters. Only call the API after the user confirms.
5. Run the bundled Python script with python3. Run it from this skill directory, or use the absolute path to scripts/google_play.py.

bash

python3 scripts/google_play.py --q "meditation app" --gl us --hl en --json 1

For many fields, pass one JSON object with shell-appropriate quoting:

bash

python3 scripts/google_play.py --params-json '{"q":"meditation app","gl":"us","hl":"en","json":"1"}'

To preview the normalized payload for the required confirmation table, use --dry-run:

bash

python3 scripts/google_play.py --request "搜索美国 Google Play 上的冥想 app，英文，JSON" --dry-run

If the user provided a token in the conversation instead of an environment variable, pass it with --token and avoid echoing it back in the final answer:

bash

python3 scripts/google_play.py --token "USER_TOKEN" --q "meditation app" --gl us --hl en

6. Return the script output directly to the user. Do not summarize, extract, clean, translate, or reshape the API response.

Field Mapping

Use references/google_play_api.md when you need the exact field list, defaults, and parameter values.

Core rules:

• Always submit the API request as form data with Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
• Always force engine to google_play.
• Keep request values as strings unless the script accepts and normalizes a boolean.
• Omit optional fields that the user did not request.
• Ask a follow-up only when required q cannot be inferred and the request is not a category/chart/device-only request supported by the user's provided fields.
• Normalize token values in the script. A token without Bearer is accepted and prefixed automatically.
• Do not use more than one of next_page_token, section_page_token, see_more_token, and chart together.
• Do not use store_device together with apps_category or q.
• Use age only when apps_category is FAMILY.

Common mappings:

• "JSON" -> json: "1"
• "JSON+HTML" -> json: "2"
• "HTML" -> json: "3"
• "Light JSON" -> json: "4"
• app search phrase -> q
• country or region for Google Play behavior -> gl
• interface/search language -> hl
• Google Play category -> apps_category
• next page token -> next_page_token
• section page token -> section_page_token
• top chart / popular ranking -> chart
• see more token -> see_more_token
• phone/tablet/tv/chromebook/watch/car device browsing -> store_device
• kids/family category -> apps_category: "FAMILY"
• age 5 and under -> age: "AGE_RANGE1"
• age 6 to 8 -> age: "AGE_RANGE2"
• age 9 to 12 -> age: "AGE_RANGE3"
• bypass cache -> no_cache: "true"
