title: Google Play Music API for Android
body: <p>I'm working on a music application for Android.
  I need two things:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Get album cover for artist, album name, track name, etc;</li>
  <li>Open Google Play page for buying this album.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>For the first thing I'm currently using <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html">iTunes API</a> -- but this is not patriotic for true Android developer. If Google Play Music has similar service, I would preferred to use it. Does it exist?</p>
  
  <p>What about second? I can use this code to show all search results according with my query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
                               .setData(Uri.parse("market://search?q=&lt;My Query&gt;"));
  startActivity(intent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I want to show album or track buying page exactly. Is is possible for Google Play?</p>
