How to get installed applications permissions

Question

I need to develop an android application to detect malwares.

I am looking to develop this based on permissions used by all the applications installed. Please let me

Answer 1

You can use this REST API to get details about an app, including permissions required by the app. For instance, to see what permissions WhatsApp is requiring, locate the "permissions" node in the response from this GET request: http://playstore-api.herokuapp.com/playstore/apps/com.whatsapp

More notes about how to make API calls for this could be found on the GitHub page.
