[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 but it gives me bad results(top 10 in my code is not right top 10).

import os
import re
from serpapi import GoogleSearch
from dotenv import load_dotenv


load_dotenv()

params = {
"engine": "google_play",
"apps_category": "SOCIAL",
"api_key": os.getenv("API_KEY"),
"gl": "ua" #Adding charts doesn't change anything
}

search = GoogleSearch(params)
results = search.get_dict()
organic_results = results["organic_results"]
import pandas as pd

data = [{
'Title': app.get('title'),
'Rating': app.get('rating'),
'Installs': app.get('downloads'),
'Link': app.get('link')
} for section in results.get('organic_results', []) for app in section.get('items', [])]

df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df.to_string(index=False))
