# App Store app API

> Get an app's details from the App Store. Call the App Store app API and get JSON back in one request. 1 credit per call. Failed calls cost nothing.

Returns an app's details from the App Store. The app is identified by its URL or ID.

## Request

Exactly one of `appUrl` or `appId` is required. A request that sets both, or none, fails with `invalidRequest`.

  stophy = Stophy()  # reads STOPHY_API_KEY
  result = stophy.appstore.app(app_id="284882215")

  ```

## Response

If successful, the response body contains the standard envelope. `data` contains the app's description, developer, price, ratings, version and screenshots.

The following example is a real response, truncated: each list shows one item and long strings are cut.

  description: >-
    Every endpoint is a POST that takes its input as a JSON object body. Unknown
    fields are rejected with 400.


    Responses leave out empty values: null, empty strings, empty objects and
    empty nested lists are not sent.


    x-credits is what one call costs. Every call costs the same, whatever it
    returns, unless an operation's description says it costs per 10 results, or
    per second of audio. Then x-credits is the lowest price and x-credits-max
    the most one call can cost. Where an operation takes limit, send it to
    return fewer results and pay for fewer.


    When a response has a cursor, send it back unchanged with the same input to
    get the next page. When it has a page, send the next page number.
