What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. com.rovio.angrybirds_lite is an app for Android 2.2 (Froyo) devices.  It is 
not returned by this api even when using 2.2 deviceID

$ar = new AppsRequest();
    $ar->setQuery('pname:com.rovio.angrybirds_lite');
    $ar->setStartIndex(0);
    $ar->setEntriesCount(1);


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
App returned.  Instead no apps are returned

The license for protoc-gen-php must be checked to make sure it allows a copy in 
our repo

Is it possible to browse certain category and get like the top apps? Say get a 
list of top apps in Games. Thanks!

After retrieving 28 apps in buissnes category it shows this error....

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'HTTP request returned 
code 400' or this error 
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'HTTP request returned 
code 509'

any help please..........

The local.php contains username and password for GMail and should not be 
shipped with that information, but some placeholder to show developers what it 
should define is critical.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

I am building scrapper on this library, but the results returned are not 
complete. If I start with any category, I get 10 results and I change start 
offset by increments of 10 until the results are returned. But, instead of 
getting 5200 apps in ARCADE category, I get only about 900 of them.

Is there a way to make a request that will work fine with this, or maybe is 
there a bug in library that generate malformed requests?

Hi, if I get the number of screenshots by calling app_ExtendedInfo -> 
getScreenshotsCount(), it always returns 2, but e.g. for the app "X-Plane 9" 
there are 5 screenshots available in the Android Market (if I search with my 
Androidphone).
So it seems to be a bug why not 5 is returned, could you fix this please?


Thanks in advance,
regards Oli

I can't use test_search.php example

I can't use any all example

A lot of the code (all?) is using short tags because I'm lazy and used to it, 
but it needs to be fixed for better compability

I try to find out function to get android application download link. I didn't 
find it.

I want to place application download link on website. so user click on that and 
download application.
Please help me.
Thank you

Existing examples are broken. I assume missing local.php that examples refer to 
is just GOOGLE_EMAIL and GOOGLE_PASSWD define()s. Once I created such file I 
got:

$ php test_categories.php
PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Required fields 
are missing' in ~/android-market/proto/market.proto.php:2553
Stack trace:

#5 {main}
  thrown in ~/android-market/proto/market.proto.php on line 2553

test_search fails the same way, so maybe my assumption on what shall be in 
local.php are wrong. Any hints?


also test_search.php uses short tag (<? instead of <?php and short tag is off 
by default)

Fatal error: Call to a member function getCategoriesArray() on a non-object in 
C:\wamp\www\checkout android-market-api-php\examples\test_categories.php on 
line 19

Hi guys,

I'm using the Android Market API for PHP and I just noticed that many of the 
applications are no longer found either by name or by package name. 

Example: Package Name "alei.switchpro" don't found!

Anyone have a clue?

Best regards,
Fábio

Hi there!
I downloaded the most recent source from the svn, copied it to my server, 
configured local.php with my username/pword and renamed it.

But any example seems to work.
If I insert a
"die(print_r($response));" (in test_search)
I get:
"Response Object ( [_unknown:private] => [responsegroup_:private] => Array ( 
[0] => Response_ResponseGroup Object ( [_unknown:private] => [context_:private] 
=> ResponseContext Object ( [_unknown:private] => [result_:private] => 2 
[unknown1_:private] => [unknown2_:private] => [unknown3_:private] => 1000 ) 
[appsResponse_:private] => [commentsResponse_:private] => 
[imageResponse_:private] => [categoriesResponse_:private] => 
[subCategoriesResponse_:private] => ) ) ) 1"
So i Think that something isn't working inside :)

PD: If I don't modify anything, I get:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getAppArray() on a non-object in 
~/test_search.php on line 26"

I call it "Android Market Dashboard" :-)

Hi,

yes i still do not know how to get the creattime of the App.
May you can add a small creattime /example for that.

Thanks for the work.

I played with this library, everything worked fine until today.
Now if I'm running the test_search.php example I get the following Exception:

[16-Sep-2010 04:33:02] PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Exception' with 
message 'read_unknown(group start): Unsupported wire_type' in

# in /home/****/proto/protocolbuffers.inc.php on line 269

Does someone know what happened? I didn't modify anything in the market php api 
files...

If I leave scrapper I built using this library to run for a while, it works 
fine to a point, and than simply Google returns no data to any of the requests 
(getting apps mostly). I went through code to debug, and the errors generated 
by Google are bad requests. I than checkout Java version of this library and 
they added some new methods to their session class to flush the request and few 
other things (I don't know Java, so I didn't go deep into the code).

Can something be done in this library to prevent these problems?

Hi,

Any (even brief) documentation planned? It's now very hard to use these classes 
if you not familiar with it too much. Or at least please add some more examples 
on how to get App info and fetch app comments

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Run test_search.php
2.add $ar->getEntriesCount()



What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should return some count. But it is not showing right result, instead it 
keeps on showing some other


Please let me know, how can I get total number of apps in a particular category?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter the wrong password for GMail

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Error about faulty password or something. "Missing fields" are shown instead, 
very confusing.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Checkout code from trunk
2. Update local.php with correct device id and credentials
3. Try to run examples/test_search.php

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Search should return some data, instead there is exception mentioned in the 
summary.
