App schema
The unified SocialCrawl app-store listing schema. Every field, its type, per-platform availability, and a machine-readable JSON Schema, generated from the canonical Zod source.
Every SocialCrawl endpoint that returns a app-store listing gives you this exact shape, whatever the source platform. Write your parser once and the same code reads app data from every platform below. That is the unified schema: one contract instead of a dozen raw upstream formats.

Extension fields (ext)
Platform-specific passthrough. Each field is present only on the platforms that expose it and is absent everywhere else, so treat every ext.* field as optional. These carry the richer, per-platform signals the unified leaves cannot hold, and the join keys that chain endpoints together.
| Field | Type | Nullable | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ext.appdata | object | Yes |
Platform availability
2 platforms return the App shape. id, store are never null on any platform. The fields below vary: yes means the platform populates it (the value may still be null); a blank means the platform never provides it, so it is always null.
| Platform | url | title | subtitle | icon | description | developer.id | developer.name | developer.url | developer.email | developer.address | developer.website | rating.value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple App Store | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |
| Google Play | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes | yes |

Validate responses programmatically against the JSON Schema (2020-12):
Point a validator (Ajv, jsonschema, or your framework's) at that URL, or hand it to an agent so it can check the shape without a live call.
