[Python] Using Python and the Google Play API, need to: download information about the top 10...

The task suggests using the Google Play API, but Google, if I understand correctly, does not provide the ability to download information (the task asks for a rating, number of downloads) about third-party offers. I tried to use SerpAPI, for example, but it did not give any adequate results. Can someone suggest other options for completing the task?

from serpapi import GoogleSearch
import os
import json
from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv()

params = {
"api_key": os.getenv("API_KEY"),
"engine": "google_play", # Changed from "google_play_product"
"store": "apps",
"gl": "ua",
"hl": "en",
"category": "SOCIAL", # Changed from "apps_category"
"charts": "top_free",
"num": 10
}

search = GoogleSearch(params)
result = search.get_dict()

# Pretty print the results
print(json.dumps(result, indent=2))

# If you want to extract just the app list:
if 'organic_results' in result:
print("\nTop Free Social Apps:")
for i, app in enumerate(result['organic_results'], 1):
print(f"{i}. {app.get('title', 'N/A')} - {app.get('rating', 'N/A')} stars")
print(f" Developer: {app.get('developer', 'N/A')}")
print(f" Link: {app.get('link', 'N/A')}")
print()
