Datasets API endpoint
Searches user reviews from the iOS App Store and Google Play (one document per review). Store enum: `ios`, `android`. Sort enum: `recent`, `score_desc`, `score_asc`, `helpful_desc`. Billing: this search costs 1 credit per record returned, with a minimum of 2 (an empty result costs 2, a full page of 100 costs 100).
/datasets/apps-reviews/searchSearches user reviews scraped from the iOS App Store and Google Play, stored in a search index. One document per review, so re-crawls accumulate a review corpus per app: full text, star score, author, version, helpful votes, and developer replies. Returns structured review records without triggering live scraping.

10000; page * page_size must not exceed 10000.items list rather than an error.1 credit per record returned, minimum 2. A search that returns 20 records costs 20 credits, a full page of 100 costs 100, and an empty or one-record result costs 2. You are charged for what comes back, not for the page_size you ask for, but your balance must cover the requested page_size for the call to be accepted. The response header x-credit-cost shows what a call was charged.
