# App Store & Google Play Keyword Rank Tracker - Multi-Country (`tidynest/app-rank-tracker-multi-country`) Actor

Track your app's keyword position in every storefront, on both stores, in one run. Rankings only exist per country - measured: the same app ranks 3 in the US, 2 in France and 1 in Japan for the same keyword. Official Apple and Google endpoints only.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## App Store & Google Play Keyword Rank Tracker — Multi-Country

**A ranking only exists per country.** "We rank #4 for *todo list*" is not a fact until you say
where. This Actor checks your app's position for your keywords in **every storefront you care
about, on both stores, in one run** — and returns one tidy row per keyword × country × store.

### Why multi-country is the whole point (measured, not claimed)

Same app, same keyword, same minute — **Todoist** on *"todo list"*:

| Country | App Store rank | Google Play rank |
|---|---|---|
| 🇺🇸 US | 3 | 4 |
| 🇫🇷 FR | 2 | 5 |
| 🇩🇪 DE | 4 | 4 |
| 🇯🇵 JP | **1** | 3 |
| 🇧🇷 BR | **1** | 4 |

A single-country tracker would have told you "#3" and hidden the fact that you already own Japan
and Brazil — or, on a worse day, that you dropped out of the top 20 in your biggest market.

### What you get

- **Keyword rank** per country, per store, with `results_scanned` so you can tell "not in the
  top 200" from "the storefront returned nothing".
- **National top charts** (Apple *Top Free* and *Top Paid*, any country, up to 200 entries) when
  you switch `includeCharts` on — useful for spotting who moved into your category.
- One row per measurement, with a UTC timestamp: run it daily and you have a rank history.

### Honest limits (so you don't discover them yourself)

- **Apple search returns at most 200 results.** Below that, `rank` is `null` and `found` is
  `false` — we don't fake a position.
- **Google Play serves 17–30 results per keyword page** depending on the country. It is a top-30
  tracker on Play, not a top-100 one. Going deeper would require a headless browser, which would
  make the Actor slower, costlier and fragile.
- **Apple has no open top-grossing feed and no per-genre chart** (both return 404). Only Top Free
  and Top Paid exist.
- Play charts are not covered: there is no open endpoint for them.

### Sources

Official and public endpoints only — Apple's iTunes Search and Lookup APIs, Apple's marketing RSS
feeds, and Google Play's public search page. **No anti-bot circumvention, no residential proxies.**
That is a deliberate design choice: an Actor built on hostile targets breaks the week its target
changes. This one doesn't have that failure mode.

### Input

```json
{
  "keywords": ["todo list", "task manager"],
  "appStoreId": "572688855",
  "googlePlayPackage": "com.todoist",
  "countries": ["us", "gb", "fr", "de", "jp", "br"],
  "stores": ["app_store", "google_play"],
  "includeCharts": false
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "row_type": "keyword_rank",
  "store": "app_store",
  "country": "jp",
  "keyword": "todo list",
  "app_id": "572688855",
  "app_name": "Todoist: To Do List & Calendar",
  "rank": 1,
  "results_scanned": 183,
  "found": true,
  "checked_at": "2026-08-31T13:20:00+00:00"
}
```

Pricing is per result row, so a run costs exactly what you asked for: keywords × countries × stores.

Search terms to check your app's position for, e.g. "budget planner".

## `appStoreId` (type: `string`):

  ],
  "appStoreId": "572688855",
  "googlePlayPackage": "com.todoist",

apify call tidynest/app-rank-tracker-multi-country --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,tidynest/app-rank-tracker-multi-country"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
