New apps API: daily Google Play releases as data

Pulling new releases by date range, category and traction, and turning them into a daily digest.

The call

curl -H "X-API-Key: $APKAPI_KEY" \
  "https://apkapi.com/api/v1/new?since=2026-10-20&min_installs=10000&category=FINANCE"

since and until bound the release date (default: the last seven days), min_installs sets the traction threshold, category and lang narrow it. Sort with sort=installs to see breakouts first.

A daily digest

import datetime, os, requests
day = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=1)).isoformat()
r = requests.get("https://apkapi.com/api/v1/new",
                 params={"since": day, "until": day, "min_installs": 1000, "sort": "installs", "per": 50},
                 headers={"X-API-Key": os.environ["APKAPI_KEY"]}).json()
for a in r["results"]:
    print(a["title"], a["installs"]["label"], a["category"]["name"])

Cost

Two credits per page of up to 100 apps; a daily digest costs about 60 credits a month.
