# Daily ASO check: your app's keyword ranks on both stores

**Use case:** 

Check where your app and your competitors rank for your keywords on the App Store and Google Play, in every country you list, with the change since the previous run. Replace the sample apps (Headspace and Calm) and keywords with your own, then schedule it daily for a rank history. $1.50 per 1,000 rank rows.

## FAQ

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

Replace apps with your App Store id (the number after id in the app link) and your Google Play package (the id= part), or paste the full links. Then put in your own keywords and countries.

### How do I see which keywords moved since yesterday?

Schedule the task daily with the same input. Each row has previousRank, rankChange and changeStatus (UP, DOWN, ENTERED, DROPPED_OUT). Set historyName to keep comparing after you add keywords.

### Why is my app NOT_IN_RESULTS for a keyword?

It is not in the first searchDepth apps the store listed. Google Play lists only about 20-50 apps per search. An app not sold in a country is named in the run status and not charged.

### Does it give search volume or keyword difficulty?

No. It reports measured positions from the stores' public search only, with no third-party estimates. Ranks are the public order; in-app search can be personalised for some users.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [App Store & Google Play Keyword Rank Tracker (ASO)](https://apify.com/tagadanar/app-keyword-rank-tracker.md) with a specific input configuration.

## 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/tagadanar/app-keyword-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`).
