# APKCube

> A free Android APK catalogue and download service. Current releases, old
> versions and per-architecture variants, every file signature-verified before
> it is served. Programmatic access is metered in credits against an API key.

## For agents and integrations

- [Developer portal](https://apkcube.com/docs): what is available and how to start.
- [REST API reference](https://apkcube.com/docs/api): every endpoint, with credit prices.
- [OpenAPI 3.1 spec](https://apkcube.com/api/v1/openapi.json): the machine-readable contract. Import this to generate tools or a client.
- [MCP server](https://apkcube.com/docs/mcp): Streamable HTTP endpoint at https://apkcube.com/api/mcp, authorized with OAuth 2.1 — no key to configure, the client registers itself and asks the account owner to approve it.
- [Agent skill](https://apkcube.com/docs/skill): a single markdown file for agents that can run a shell but do not speak MCP.

## Notes that save a round trip

- Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer akc_...`. Keys are created at https://apkcube.com/account/keys.
- `installs` is Google Play's bucket string ("10,000,000+"), not a count.
- Catalogue metadata is scraped from Google Play and can trail the store.
- Downloads are refused for taken-down apps, paid apps we hold no file for, and
  listings under the operator's rating threshold. Every app row carries an
  `availability` field so this can be checked before spending a download credit.
- Listing the versions of a package is the step before downloading one: the
  `apkId` a download takes comes from there.
