Response

Response fields and example

This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.

The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.

Schema basis: observed response shapes, not an exhaustive field specification. See schema coverage and validation limits.

Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.

Field inside data	Type	Meaning
`_warnings`	`array \| null`	Source array was empty in the reviewed captures; item fields remain unspecified.
`collection`	`string \| null`	Optional collection supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`count`	`number \| null`	Number of records in this response, not lifetime or total matches.
`country`	`string \| null`	Optional country supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items`	`array \| null`	Returned records. Source coverage and completeness vary.
`items[].currency`	`string \| null`	Optional currency supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].developer`	`string \| null`	Optional developer supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].free`	`boolean \| null`	Optional free supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].icon`	`string \| null`	Optional icon supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].package`	`string \| null`	Optional package supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].price`	`number \| null`	Source price. Currency, taxes and availability depend on the listing.
`items[].rank`	`number \| null`	Optional rank supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].score`	`number \| null`	Optional score supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].score_text`	`string \| null`	Optional score text supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].summary`	`string \| null`	Optional summary supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.
`items[].title`	`string \| null`	Source title when supplied.
`items[].url`	`string \| null`	Original source URL when supplied.
`language`	`string \| null`	Optional language supplied by this operation. Null means unknown.

Optional fields reviewed from preserved successful responses. Additive fields and source variations remain allowed; validate the fields your workflow requires.

The example is invented and illustrates types only; zero and empty values are not claims about a real result.

Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
