App Store ASO & Competitor Intelligence Scraper

Scrape Apple App Store and Google Play competitor data for ASO (App Store Optimization) research. Search apps by keyword, pull top chart rankings by country and category, or enrich a specific app with full cross-platform iOS/Android pairing, rating data, pricing, and developer metadata — all in one run.

Features

  • Three modes: search (keyword → iTunes Search API), charts (Apple RSS top-free/paid/grossing fan-out with full iTunes Lookup enrichment), lookup (specific app ID → full metadata + cross-platform match)
  • Competitor set: co-charting peers returned with each chart result (id, name, rank, rating count)
  • Cross-platform pairing: best-effort iOS↔Android name+developer fuzzy match with confidence rating (high / medium)
  • Full metadata: rating average, rating count, price, currency, bundle ID, release date, last update, version, description, icon URL, screenshot URLs
  • 23 output fields covering both App Store and Google Play data in a unified schema
  • Supports all Apple App Store country codes (us, gb, jp, de, etc.)

Modes

search

Query the iTunes Search API by keyword. Returns up to 200 iOS apps per keyword. When includeGooglePlay is enabled, attempts to match each result to its Google Play counterpart using the iOS bundle ID.

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchTerms": ["photo editor", "fitness tracker"],
  "country": "us",
  "maxItems": 100,
  "includeGooglePlay": true
}

charts

Pull top-free, top-paid, or top-grossing charts from the Apple RSS feed, then enrich each entry via iTunes Lookup for full rating/pricing data. The competitor_set field contains co-charting peers for each app.

{
  "mode": "charts",
  "chartTypes": ["top-free", "top-grossing"],
  "country": "us",
  "chartLimit": 50,
  "includeGooglePlay": false
}

lookup

Enrich one or more specific apps by ID. Accepts iTunes track IDs (numeric, e.g. 389801252) for iOS or Play package names (e.g. com.instagram.android) for Android. Includes cross-platform pairing when includeGooglePlay is enabled.

{
  "mode": "lookup",
  "appIds": ["389801252", "com.spotify.music"],
  "country": "us",
  "includeGooglePlay": true
}
