The job

What the App store search API gives your agent

An app store search shows who you compete with. Your agent sends a term and reads back the apps that rank for it, with their ratings, review counts and prices. For an app team it shows the field. For an investor it shows how crowded a category is.

The providers cover the two big stores. One searches the Apple App Store by term, with a country, a language and a device filter. Two search Google Play, one with category and chart options that also covers books and movies, and one that returns ratings, installs and price. The App Store results also return screenshots.

Sample calls

The request and what comes back

Each run is one POST to /v1/runs with an endpoint id and an input. These are illustrative calls with generic values. The run's result holds the provider's own fields.

Request
{"endpointId":"searchapi-io-apple-app-store","input":{"term":"habit tracker","country":"us"},"wait":30}
ResponseSample output
// POST /v1/runs, then read run.status and run.result
// result: searches the Apple App Store by term, with a country, a language and a device, and returns ratings, reviews, pricing and screenshots

Before you start

Settle these before the first run

  • Pick the store and the country. Rankings and prices differ per country, and the same term finds different apps in different stores.
  • Use charts for trend work. One provider also returns top charts and top-grossing lists for the Apple store.
  • Fetch the app page for depth. A search returns cards, and a product endpoint returns the full listing for one app.

FAQ

Questions people ask

Search the same term in both stores, then line up rating, review count, price and installs side by side. Your agent builds the table and notes which fields a store does not return.
