How to download apk file directly from google play store.

Android, smartphone apps and games are packed as APK files. Learn how to easily download any APK file from the Google Play Store. Android apps are packaged as APK files. You'll be able to use any File Manager app to copy these files from the computer to your Android device and then touch the .apk file to install, or sideload, the corresponding app on your device.
There are various reasons why you may want to download the APK installer of an Android app from the Google Play store:
Google Play Store says that a particular app or game is incompatible with your Android device though you know that the app would work just fine.
Sometime an Android app may be not be available for download in the Google Play store of your region or country.
An app is listed on the Google Play store but you want to install that app on another Android device, like the Amazon Kindle tablet, that doesn’t have the Play Store.
An Easy Way to Download APK Files from Google Play:
Since this we will be using a web service EVOZI. This is a website which allows you to paste the App URL from Google Play Store. Once the app URL pasted it will make a direct download link. The download link will allow you download the APK file for any free Android App available on Google Play Store.
Since the App APK is brought from Play Store, their wont be any security issues. Also the internet site only allows free apps and not the paid at one time henceforth app piracy is not encouraged.
The APK file once downloaded can alongside loaded on your Android Phone and the app can be installed with just one click of a button.

So if its a pay for app do you have to pay for it, don't fancy trusting a randomer with my card details. I badly want the retail version of republique for my galaxy s3 but according to the playstore its incompatible.
It runs just fine but its a 'bad' copy that i have so I'm stuck between iraq and a hard place..

Is there a good Non-Google App Store (already tried Amazon and LG)

(this is a duplicate of my other thread. I realized the question doesn't ONLY apply to my old Nexus 4)
I'm trying to build an android phone with no Google apps on it, for privacy purposes.
I've got LineageOS on my rooted phone with no issues.
Getting apps is another matter. Amazon's app store doesn't even have Amazon's app, the LG store won't run on my phone. The various .apk-download sites I've seen either don't do paid apps, have outdated versions, or are basically for "cracked" apps, which i don't want to use.
Downloading .apk files can work, but most apps do not have such thing available, and I find often my phone's browsers choke on the link, and I have to download to my pc and then use adb to push the file across.
Is there a decent app store (or other app source) that isn't Google?

You could try Fdroid This is the website for Apk
Fdroid is all open source Apk's

What's wrong with Google? Whatever I have a few:
GetJar (Has not be well maintained, spam, malware etc. Lurking on there now)
SlideME (Abondon, apps are so old)
Aptoid (Has some stolen apk, malware)
TutuApp (dumb kids use it to get modded games and apps, don't go there)
The Internet (APKMirror is the best)
Google Play

1: I've decided, if possible, to act on the privacy concerns I've had about google for quite some time now
2: I'm a gun nut law abiding firearms enthusiast and don't appreciate their recent policy changes on Youtube. Since my information is the product they sell to make money, I wish to withhold it.
it might be a pipe dream, but a guy can try.
Thanks for the places to try, all.

In addition to Google Play and Amazon Appstore, I suggest Huawei App Store. http://appstore.huawei.com/
Just for your reference.

You could use the Yalp store app which is an app that will get and down load your apk from play store anonymously
You can download it here

That may be an ideal solution... use Google's store, but don't have Google's app on my phone...

Yeah ideal for people who have restriction's of some type.
You probably noticed that yalp store (well at least the yalp bit) is play store backward's "very fitting"

sideloading APKs from 3rd party stores

Hi,
since I dont have Google APIs and no play store installed, I rely on 3rd party web sites like APKpure to obtain software like Firefox.
I noticed one thing, I downloaded Firefox latest stable version and on all platforms, APKmirror, APKpure and apps.evozi.com they all had different hash sums!
What service would you trust most?
Apps.evozi.com doesnt work any longer, APKmirror says they check signatures.
What do you say?
I dont want to mess with sensitive banking data and dont want modified software.
Thanks!!!

APKmirror and APKpure should be fine since they check developer's certificate so you know you don't download edited packages (unless private key would be stolen of course). No idea about Evozi since it does not allow me to download anything at the moment.
As for APK checksums, I compared Firefox Beta 85.0.0-beta.4 :
SHA1 cheksums for arm64-v8a from:
Google Play - f03f796410e5dfd46eb8da25851f81850011a2d4
APKmirror - 2aebaf058c30f5fe0ff61a3a2ec7676efa519479
APKpure - f03f796410e5dfd46eb8da25851f81850011a2d4
So APKmirror indeed differs but I think there are multiple versions even across same architecture. Signature is the same so personally I would trust both. APKmirror shows nodpi, but APKpure - 120-640dpi, maybe that's the difference?
Signature for GooglePlay, APKmirror and APKpure is the same - 920f4876a6a57b4a6a2f4ccaf65f7d29ce26ff2c (SHA1, manually checked with keytool.exe)

My recommendation: Use Yalp Store what is another unique app store. It uses Google Play Store APKs but you get them without the actual Google Play Store. You can search for, install, and update apps directly from the source and I quite like that.
