Get Google Play Store Apps HTML Dynamic Badge

Question

Suppose I want to write some article on a web-site and publish a link to the discussed Android application (which is available on Google Play).

Is there a standard way to create "badge" for this application, which shows app's name, icon, descriptions, rating, download/install count? Something like this:

or this:

or this:

I found Google Play Badge Generator, but this "Badge Generator" does not do anything special, it is just a dummy static image. Other than that I could not find anything.

I don't think there's an official way to do this (as you have already mentioned the Badge Generator). Anyway you can use one of the many Play Store API wrapper on github to extract the desidered information and build your own fancy badge.

E.g.:

• PHP+Curl: https://github.com/thetutlage/Google-Play-Store-API#itemInfo
• JS: https://github.com/basiclines/GooglePlay-JSAPI
  • This one generates simple and clear output like this: http://googleplay-jsapi.herokuapp.com/app/com.meetsapp
• many more in various languages..
