App Intel SDK — App Store & Google Play data for Node, Python and AI agents
Official clients + MCP server for the App Intel API: one JSON API for iOS App Store and Google Play app data — search, full app details (screenshots, preview videos, in-app purchase price lists, install brackets), reviews, top charts & rankings by country, similar apps, keyword suggestions (ASO), download & revenue estimates, and daily rank / rating history.
Get your key first (free tier: 300 requests/month): subscribe on RapidAPI → https://rapidapi.com/kotuaigor/api/app-intel-api-app-store-google-play-data → copy the X-RapidAPI-Key from any endpoint page. Plans & pricing.
JavaScript / TypeScript — app-intel-api
Zero dependencies, fetch-based. Node 18+, Bun, Deno, browsers, edge runtimes.
npm i app-intel-apiimport { AppIntel } from "app-intel-api";
const api = new AppIntel({ rapidApiKey: process.env.RAPIDAPI_KEY!, country: "us" });
// 1) find the app
const { data: hits } = await api.search("candy crush", { store: "ios" });
// 2) pull everything about it (screenshots, videos, IAP prices, estimate…)
const { data: app } = await api.app(hits[0].id, { estimate: true });
console.log(app.name, app.iap.items, app.previewVideos, app.estimate);
await api.app("com.king.candycrushsaga"); // Android by package name
await api.app("com.burbn.instagram", { store: "ios" }); // iOS by bundle id
await api.reviews("com.king.candycrushsaga", { sort: "rating", limit: 50 });
await api.charts({ store: "android", chart: "top-grossing", category: "GAME", country: "gb" });Every call resolves to { data, meta: { cached, stale?, fetchedAt } }; errors throw AppIntelError (status, code, requestId). Full method list → packages/client.
Python — app-intel-api
Sync and async clients (httpx). Python 3.9+.
pip install app-intel-apifrom app_intel_api import AppIntel
api = AppIntel("YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY", country="us") # or set RAPIDAPI_KEY in env
hits = api.search("candy crush", store="ios")["data"]
app = api.app(hits[0]["id"], estimate=True)["data"]
print(app["name"], app["iap"]["items"], app["previewVideos"], app["estimate"])
api.app("com.king.candycrushsaga") # Android
api.reviews("com.king.candycrushsaga", sort="rating", limit=50)
api.charts(store="android", chart="top-grossing", category="GAME", country="gb")from app_intel_api import AsyncAppIntel
async with AsyncAppIntel("YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY") as api:
top = await api.charts(store="ios", chart="top-grossing", category="Health & Fitness")Docs → packages/python.
MCP server — app-intel-mcp (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, …)
