Country (gl) parameter seems ignored in search() #729

Hi,
Thanks for the library!

I’m trying to use the search() method to get keyword search results by country, using the country (gl) option.
Example:

search({
  term: "fitness",
  num: 100,
  country: "US"
});

and:

search({
  term: "fitness",
  num: 100,
  country: "FR"
});

Problem

Both calls return exactly the same list of apps, even when:

  • country / gl changes
  • I use a real VPN / proxy located in the target country

lang does affect the results, but country does not.

Expected

Different results depending on the target country, since Play Store rankings vary a lot between regions.

Question

Is this a known limitation of the search() endpoint?
Is there any workaround to make country-specific searches work?

Thanks!
