Price: 20 credits

List the Huawei AppGallery apps or games of one store category

How to use it

The way to enumerate a vertical on this store, since keyword search caps out well below a full category. Every category is exhaustible: ask for more than it holds and you get the whole thing, in the order the store lists it. The category list is read from the storefront on each call, so a storefront that does not carry the one you asked for answers 412 rather than a different list.

Parameters

• access-token string required

Request body

• timeout integer — Max scrapping execution timeout (in seconds) (default: 300; min: 20; max: 1500)
• regional_catalog boolean — Read the catalog of the region the request comes from instead of the store's global one. It changes the result on /huaweiappgallery/apps/search only; the other endpoints already read a regional storefront and return the same apps either way (default: false)
• category string required — Store category to list (one of: "news_and_reading", "business", "cars", "social", "education", "finance", "food_and_drink", "kids", "lifestyle", "entertainment", "navigation_and_transport", "personalized_themes", "photo_and_video", "shopping", "sports_and_health", "tools", "travel", "sports_games", "action_games", "card_and_board_games", "puzzle_and_casual_games", "role_playing_games", "strategy_games")
• count integer required — Max number of apps to return (min: 1)

Errors

• 422 — The request body did not validate Check the fields against this schema. A URN with the wrong prefix is the most common cause.
• 408 — The request ran past its time limit Raise `timeout` in the request body, up to the maximum this endpoint documents. Lowering `count` or turning off the `with_*` flags also helps, because less work finishes sooner.
• 412 — This storefront does not carry the requested category. Retrying will not help: either the entity does not exist, or the input points at a different one.
• 429 — Too many requests: a rate limit or a usage window is exhausted When the response carries an X-Retry-After header, wait that many seconds and retry: the same number is in the body as `detail.retry_after`, and the limit clears once that window passes. The message in the body names the limit that was hit.
• 500 — Something broke on our side Retrying will not help. If it keeps happening, send us the X-Request-ID from the response headers.
• 529 — Rate limit reached, or the endpoint is overloaded Wait at least 30 seconds, then retry.

Response headers

• X-Error — Error message text (present only on error)
• X-Request-ID — Unique request identifier
• X-Execution-Time — Execution time in seconds
• X-Result-Count — How many records the body carries. 0 means an empty result, which is a normal answer and not by itself an error. A non-zero count can come back together with X-Error when the failure happened partway through — read this header and X-Error independently.
• X-Total-Available-Results — How many records exist for this query, when the endpoint can say. On a `dry_run` request this is the answer and the body is empty. It saturates: the endpoint's documented maximum means 'at least that many', any smaller number is exact.
• X-Warning — Present when the request body carried keys this endpoint does not document. They were ignored, so any filter you meant to apply through them did not apply. Check the spelling against this schema and retry.
• X-Retry-After — Seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on 429.
