App Store Charts Tracker - top apps by country, with rank deltas

Daily App Store top charts (free and paid) and Apple Music most-played for any country, with the part the raw feeds don't give you: rank changes vs your last run - who climbed, who dropped, who entered the chart, who fell off.

Official Apple marketing feeds. No key, no scraping, no review risk.

What you get

One row per chart entry:

{
  "country": "ca",
  "media": "apps",
  "chart": "top-free",
  "rank": 4,
  "id": "6476561442",
  "name": "FIFA World Cup 2026",
  "artist": "FIFA",
  "url": "https://apps.apple.com/...",
  "genres": ["Sports"],
  "prevRank": 9,
  "rankDelta": 5,
  "isNewEntry": false
}

Plus a per-chart delta report after the first run: new entries, movers, and dropouts (apps that left the chart, with their last rank).

FAQ

Why not Google Play too? Play has no official chart feed and its markup churns; scraping it means breakage and maintenance you would pay for. If demand shows up in Issues, a Play tier is the planned v2.

How fresh are the charts? The feeds carry Apple's own updated timestamp, typically refreshed daily.

Where do deltas come from? The actor stores each chart's ranks between runs (per country + chart). First run saves the baseline; every run after reports changes.
