get play store app version in Ionic 2

Question

I want to check app version which i have uploaded on playstore for force update. What should i do ? I tried to hit http request but getting cors issue and it will give result in html . I tried following api call

this.http.get( "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moglix.vendor").subscribe(data => { alert(data); });

I checked other solution like How get the app version on the play store it is not working for me.

I have alternative of rest api but i want to look into any functionality from play store only .

Please take a look at this plugin: Ionic Native App Update Plugin

Using this plugin, you're able to check if an update is available for your application. Note: This requires a back-end to store the app version information, and should be updated simultaneously with your APK.

Using JQuery you can use it in your ionic1 with angularjs projects:

$.get("https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=--bundleID--", function(data){
            htmlContentsArray=$('<div/>').html(data).contents();
            htmlContents=htmlContentsArray['prevObject']['0']['childNodes']['141'].outerText;
            if(htmlContents == ''){
                htmlContents=htmlContentsArray['prevObject']['0']['childNodes']['144'].outerText;
            }
            latest_version_array=htmlContents.split('Current Version');
                var latest_version_string=latest_version_array['1'];
                var latest_version=latest_version_string.substr(0,5);
});
