An independent Google Play data service
APK Sort on apksort.com is part of the APK API network: it reads the public Google Play listing for 4.1M apps and refreshes it every night. It is an independent service, not affiliated with Google, and it serves metadata only: apksort.com does not host, distribute or link to APK files. The brand main site is apkapi.com, where the same API, documentation and account live.
Filtering Google Play: questions
What is APK Sort?
APK Sort (apksort.com) is a filter for the whole Google Play catalogue built on the APK API. It sorts and filters 4.1M apps by installs, rating, number of ratings, price, ads, in-app purchases, category, language and release or update date.
Is apksort.com an official APK API site?
Yes. apksort.com is part of the APK API network, and the brand main site is apkapi.com. A key created on apksort.com uses the same APK API, so it works across the network for keys, billing and documentation.
Can I list apps without ads and without in-app purchases?
Yes. Add free=true, ads=false and iap=false to a search, usually with a category and an install floor, and APK Sort returns only apps that are free to install, show no ads and sell nothing inside.
How do I find the best rated apps that are actually popular?
Combine min_score with min_ratings, for example min_score=4.5 and min_ratings=100000. The rating floor keeps out apps with a perfect score from a few dozen ratings.
Is there a limit on how many results I can get?
One query pages up to its 10,000th result, 100 apps per page. For bigger sets, split the filter by category or install band; each part has its own 10,000.
Is APK Sort free?
Yes, to start. An account on apksort.com includes free monthly tokens with no card. A page of up to 100 filtered apps costs 2 tokens; token packs raise the limits for large exports.
Can I download APK files from apksort.com?
No. APK Sort is a Google Play metadata service: installs, ratings, prices, flags, developers and categories. It does not host, distribute or link to APK files; the answers are JSON, not binaries.
