Frequently Asked Questions about App Store API

Written by Meghna Anand

Please check out our API documentation. Your questions may already be answered in this documentation.

What's the difference between the App Store API, Console Data API, AppTweak API, and AppTweak.io?

AppTweak's API (documented at developers.apptweak.com) is organized into three suites, all accessible under a single API subscription:

  • App Store API — Pull store data powering AppTweak.com: metadata, top charts, keyword rankings, download estimates, and more across 3M+ apps from the App Store and Play Store in 100+ countries.

  • Console Data API — Fetch data from your App Store Connect, Google Play Console & Google Play Report when you have active integrations on your AppTweak account.

  • AppTweak API — Query information about the API itself: your credit balance, usage history, and supported country/language combinations.

All three suites use the same API token. Plans are available here.

AppTweak.io API (deprecated)
The AppTweak.io API is the legacy version of the App Store API. It is maintained but no new endpoints will be released. New plans cannot be purchased on AppTweak.io — all new subscriptions go through the current API plans linked above.

How do the App Store API credits work?

You will pay a fee of 1 credit for each request that you’ll make in the App Store API. If you don’t get an error, you’ll only pay for the data that you get. If we don’t have the data, we won’t charge you beyond the 1 credit for the request.

I would like to move my current AppTweak.io credits to the new App Store API. What are the next steps?

You can simply reach out to our team and we'll check together how we can handle your transfer towards the new API.

Is there a free trial?

Yes, there's a 7-day free trial with 100,000 API credits.

How far does the API data go back?

This depends on the type of data that you’re looking for. Our oldest data are top charts and category ranking and date back from 2015. However, this depends on the type of data, the country, the store, or the app.

What are the most popular BI platforms used?

You can visualise your data with your preferred BI tool. The most commonly used among our clients are Google Data, Tableau, or Power BI.

Is it possible to export AppTweak into Google DataStudio?

Yes. To do this, you'll have to reformat the response JSON files to a CSV format.
