Any Android Market API from Google?

Question

Not sure if its a possible duplicate. If so please merge to the appropriate.

I am looking for Google Market API that can pull the following information:

1. List of categories (in Apps, Books, Movies) in the Google Market
2. List of Top free apps/books/movies (by no. of downloads, ratings etc.) in a given category.
3. List of Top Paid apps/books/movies (by no. of downloads, ratings etc.) in a given category.

Is there an official Google Market API available?

I came across the below project but the feature set it provides doesn't support this functionality. http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/

Any help is highly appreciated.

I would like you to mention that this API is only for paying customers.

The question was for an API "... from Google". This is clearly not from Google, but a paid service, so your answer of "Yes there is..." is not correct.
