PICO Store Lab — Python SDK

PICO app search, sign-in, and downloads for Python, with a pico-store-py command-line tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This package is part of PICO Store Lab.

Install with python -m pip install pico-store-lab.

from pathlib import Path
from pico_store_lab import PicoStoreClient, StoreTarget

client = PicoStoreClient()
found = client.search("YouTube VR").items[0]
target = StoreTarget(found.item_id, found.package_name)
client.item(target)
client.send_code(email)
auth = client.login(email, code_from_user)
client.download(target, auth, Path("selected-app.apk"))

Configure the request identity and region with StoreConfig:

from pico_store_lab import StoreConfig

client = PicoStoreClient(
    config=StoreConfig(
        device_name="YOUR_DEVICE", language="en", zone="Europe/London", web_region="uk"
    )
)

Other fields include store_host, account_host, web_store_host, manifest_version_code, app_id, client_type, passport_aid, and device_platform. The default profile reflects the observed A9210/Japanese-language overseas-store requests. Select any exact StoreTarget from search. download() confirms ownership, acquires an available free offer if necessary, then gets the APK metadata. Paid offers are purchased on the official store.

email and code_from_user come from your app's UI. PicoStoreClient performs the requests and verified download; pass a custom transport if you need different HTTP behavior. Low-level builders and parsers remain public. Use pico-store-py --help for the smaller CLI surface.

The player guide gives the complete search → status → send-code → login → download command sequence, including device installation.
