How to request app information from the Google Play store without authentication

I did some research and stumbled upon the following (possibly unofficial) url, which is used to request information about the application from the Android game store. But based on the unofficial google market api, I assume this one uses an authentication token

http://android.clients.google.com/market/api/ApiRequest

Obviously, it’s possible to request the details of an Android application without logging into one google account - how the Google play website works when viewed in a web browser.

I could not find any recommendations on how to actually do this.

The project that I am developing cannot have any unofficial libraries or codes in it, nor can it use any private API for Android.

I also went to the following link, which is obviously not an official google api link (in other words, not 100% trustworthy, that it will not change without notice)

 https://androidquery.appspot.com/api/market?app=(put the package name here)

But I suppose that any possible solution should be something like what this link does internally.

So, how to create a valid request in the google play store to retrieve information about the application (request URL, parameters, parameter formats, cookies, etc.)?

I have google a bit for this interesting case.

Short answer: there is no simple API to get this information. You need to do some work to get clean data.

It will be useful:
Is there an official API for the Google Play Store app?

Hope this helps :).
