# Track App Store keyword rankings for your app

**Use case:** 

Check where one iPhone app ranks for 3 App Store search keywords and in the Top Free Productivity chart, across 5 countries (US, UK, Germany, Canada, Australia). Returns one row per keyword or chart and country with the rank, or found=false when the app is not in the top results. Schedule it daily to build an ASO rank history.

## FAQ

### What does the App Store keyword ranking task return?

The App Store keyword ranking task returns one row per keyword or chart and country: the app's position, or found=false when the app is outside the top results, plus app name, rating and version.

### Where does the ranking data come from?

The App Store keyword ranking task reads Apple's public iTunes Search API (top 200 results per keyword) and Apple's public top charts feeds. It needs no login, cookies or proxies.

### How do I track my own app instead of the example app?

Replace the App Store URL or numeric ID in trackAppIds with your app, and put your own search terms in keywords. Add any storefront codes, such as jp or fr, to countries.

### Can I run the rank tracker every day?

Yes. Attach an Apify schedule to the App Store keyword ranking task to run it daily, then send the rows to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook through Apify integrations or the API.

### How much does one run of this task cost?

The App Store keyword ranking task is priced per saved row (see the Pricing tab of the Actor). This example saves about 20 rows per run, so a daily run costs a few cents a month.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/echolab/app-store-rank-tracker.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
