Returns metadata from an app that AppTweak has been able to gather from the App Store or the Google Play Store.
The applications' metadata are all the elements (title, subtitle, screenshots, etc.) that you can find on an app store page of an application. Each store displays different types of metadata. The metadata are store-specific (iOS vs Google Play) but they can also be device, country, and/or language specific. Make sure to specify the correct ones in the query parameters.
App Metadata are available through two endpoints:
- App Metadata - Current which returns the lates - most recent - metadata available
- App Metadata - History which returns the historical metadata changes
