We hope that researchers will make available the lists of apps used in their publications to ensure reproducibility of their experiments.

How to Get Access?

Please send an application email to androzoo@uni.lu including the name of your research institution and the name of the person requesting access. Ensure that the following template is filled out in the body of your email:

{
  "name": "Your Full Name",
  "institution": "Your Research Institution",
  "email": "Your Institutional Email Address"
}

(You can copy, paste, and fill it out with your information.)

Applications sent without this template may not be processed.

Make sure to send your application from your university (or research institution) email account. Requests sent from personal email accounts (e.g., gmail, qq) will not be processed.

Downloads/Time Limits

There are two limits regarding access to AndroZoo:

  • API keys will automatically expire after a period of 6 months from the date of access.
  • The maximum number of requests is limited to 500,000 APKs during this 6-month period. If you exceed this limit, the API key will be automatically deactivated.

Once the API key has been deactivated, and if you still need access to AndroZoo, you must send a new email providing a valid justification for why you require continued access to the dataset.
