Lots of info about these apps needing to be deployed via the play store.
But cannot find official docs regarding if we could deploy these apps using a private custom app store....
Is there some kind of dependency between instant apps and the google play store?
Anyone have a pointer?
Best writeup I have found so far with references. What Android Instant Apps could mean for publishers
But on the google page, no details about deploying through custom play store or any alternatives..
They announced this feature in Google I/O this year. They haven't released this to all developers but have a signup form for early access. You can find out more here.
At the very least, it will probably use Google Play Services, I think. Confirmation on it being Play Store only will probably come in the future once they open up SDK access to the public.

Google Play developer console provides an API to manage app publishing.
But, is there an API to fetch the number of installations and the ratings?
We need to automate fetching of those data with some script we could run regularly without having to manually log on to the console to fetch the data.
I have used AppMonsta. They have pretty much everything you need when it comes to app store statistics, and the APIs are well documented.
I have tried other platforms that offer the same service but IMO they offer the best API, I have tried it on an Android app. I can't remember the free tier but it was generous enough for my use case that I don't have to pay for premium.
The app reports in Google Play Console's "Download Reports" section are sent to Google Cloud Storage automatically. The bucketId of the cloud storage they are sent to is displayed on that Developer console page.
Then it is possible to download the CSV reports either using:
gsutils python tool
API for several languages
As described in https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6135870

I am working on an update to make my already published App compatible with Android Auto.
As I read in Google design Guidelines this update has to be approved by Google to then be available for distribution.
https://developer.android.com/docs/quality-guidelines/auto-app-quality
But does this mean that every update I publish from this date on needs to be manually reviewed and approved by Google, even if it doesn't change anything on the Android Auto integration of this app?
Or is it just the initial update?
No it's all updates.
Note that if the submitted app is an update to an existing app and your updated app does not meet the review criteria, the update is rejected and the existing app remains published in the Google Play store.
You can read more about the Android Auto distrubution here

Is there any official google service from where we can download Google Play Services APK?
I am using GCM on one of rugged devices for enterprise use, and for GCM will need Google Play Services APK.
I know APK is there at apkmirror also at androidapksfree but since it is for enterprise use I cannot suggest APK from these sites or getting APK from rooted device.
Is there any official google service from where we can download Google Play Services APK?
No. Play Services is licensed exclusively to device manufacturers as part of the Google Mobile Services package.

Either switch to a device that is a part of the Google Play ecosystem, or come up with a non-GCM solution for your communications.

Is there an API/service that can provide an up to date snapshot of all Android apps on google play marketplace?
thank you
There is no official Google Play API that provides data like this. If you want to index Google Play, you will have to crawl it manually.
If you want to open up lists in your app, then you can use the URLs given here.
Check with the Google Play Terms of Service first:
3.3 You agree not to access (or attempt to access) Google Play by any means other than through the interface that is provided by Google, unless you have been specifically allowed to do so in a separate agreement with Google. You specifically agree not to access (or attempt to access) Google Play through any automated means (including use of scripts, crawlers, or similar technologies) and shall ensure that you comply with the instructions set out in any robots.txt file present on the Google Play website.
However This is an unofficial open source API for the android market.

Is there any API exposed in order to retrieve information about uploaded application in the android market?
I went through http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api but it only states the number of ratings and other stuff.
I want to know the Active downloads.
Thanks in advance.

There is no official API of any sort for the Android Market, unfortunately.

That data is pirated. Anybody using it is subject to legal action by Google.
I have often asked for a supported and authorized API for this sort of information; Google has not done so to date.
"That data is pirated. Anybody using it is subject to legal action by Google." - where are you getting this from? Unofficial doesn't have to automatically imply piracy.
