App Store App List API

Scrape App Store App List data with one API call. Returns a unified AppList for an Apple App Store chart (top free, top paid, top grossing for iPhone or iPad, new apps), optionally scoped to a category. Each item is the same canonical `App` shape as app-search. Use it to track ranking movements or build a category leaderboard. Sourced from DataForSEO's task-based App Data API.

How do I get Apple App Store top charts with an API?
Send a GET request to /v1/app_store/app-list with an app_collection parameter — top_free_ios, top_paid_ios, top_grossing_ios, or the iPad and new-app variants. The response is a ranked AppList where each app's position is its chart rank.
Which Apple App Store charts can I pull?
You can pull top free, top paid, and top grossing charts for both iPhone and iPad, plus new-app charts. Add an optional app_category parameter to scope a chart to one App Store category, such as photo_and_video or games_puzzle.
How is the charts endpoint different from app search?
The charts endpoint returns store rankings — the apps the Apple App Store currently lists as top free, paid, or grossing — in rank order. App search instead returns keyword matches, and app-listings-search queries a filterable paginated database by title.
How much does the App Store charts endpoint cost?
App-list runs on the advanced tier at 5 credits per call, since it fetches a fresh ranked chart from the Apple App Store. New accounts get 100 free credits with no card, and an empty chart is refunded automatically.
Can I track iOS chart movement over time?
Yes. Because each app comes back with its current rank, calling the charts endpoint on a schedule lets you snapshot iPhone and iPad rankings and detect movers — useful for competitor monitoring and category trend tracking.
