The question is very simple how to get Apple search ads popularity index for any given keyword?
It's possible since i see a lot of ASO tools provide such metric. But there are not any open API documentation how to get this data.
For getting search popularity index you can also google for chrome extension like „ Apple Search Ads Search Popularity for ASO“
If you want to check your app ranking or get keyword suggestions for different appstore countries you can use this app https://applab.cloud ( I am from Germany and getting insights from US AppStore with this app )
Looks like the only way is to parse searchads.apple.com to get one. Or to use Jailbroken iPhone to create requests and get responses directly from App Store.

This is probably a very easy answer, but Google's documentation is not helpful in detailing what to expect with ads.
I am updating a site from the old paid GSS (since it will soon be phased out), and transitioning them to Google CSE. If we use the JSON/Atom API, will ads be displayed? Google is insistent on telling you that CSE is free because they display ads, but it's not clear if ads show up when using/paying for search queries through the JSON API.
Thanks!
In case anyone is trying to find the answer to this in the future, the answer is no; ads do not display by default when results are pulled using the JSON API.
This is pretty much what I expected since the ads themselves would have to be pulled from JSON, and we're not pulling in any ads. This means that sites that need the CSE but don't want Ads can get around it by implementing their search with the API. You just have to keep the query limit in mind and pay if you expect more than 100/day.
Alternatively, if you qualify as a non-profit, you can follow the prompts in the CSE control panel to register as such and implement the CSE with the provided script as usual without any ads or branding.
Is it possible to fetch ads is search results using the google custom search API ?
Need this to do a simple experiment. Search something and to see if any ad appears in the results.
Is it possible to do this ?
You probably want to screen scrap the search result window. Use some tool like phantomjs and inspect the results.
You could open one Google AdWords account and there you can make sample queries and experiments and whatever you want.
Google are not really a big fan of the experiments on their front-end, on Google AdSense, on Google CSE, CSA, etc. You could try, but you might get a wrong picture - there are some protection algorithms on the front-end.
I am trying to embed an ItuensU search feature inside my app. My question is what api I can use get the result which can be exactly same to the result user gets from Itunes search? Thanks in advance!
There's lots of buzz about Forgotify (http://forgotify.com) - a tool, that crawls Spotify against unplayed tracks.
Non-technical press articles say that they use Spotify API to crawl the songs and index only those with zero play count.
However, according to Spotify API documentation, such value is not available for single tracks:
https://developer.spotify.com/docs/apps/api/1.0/api-models-track.html
Similar question about possibility to retrieve track play count has also been answered here on StackOverflow (Get play count of a track from Spotify API) with similar results - that it's not possible.
I'm looking for a clue how Forgotify achieved what they claim they did. Any ideas? :)
The metadata api and libspotify provide the popularity score for songs. Perhaps they searched for tracks with popularity of zero. I don't know that zero popularity implies zero plays though.
They also could have implemented a remote control of the desktop client with some screen scraping. Or reverse engineered whatever internal communication the desktop does (though I suspect Spotify would have put a stop to that).
I've found a PDF file of Appstore search API, that I can use some parameters to fetch an application's detail information.(sorry I forgot the download url, but I found it in stackoverflow)
But there are so many sites that show you a Top100 list(like appshopper.com), and such as Mobclix.com also provide you the rank information.How can they do that? I didn't find the related API in the PDF file.
I also found an Appstore API by ABTO(http://www.abtollc.com/AppStoreAPI.aspx), but I really wanna do it by myself.
If I clear the 1st question, then I'd like to know the common architecture of building a website based on the appstore data. Do I need a database to cache the appstore's data, and create a batch to fetch the data frequently, execute like once per hour? I think it might not be clever to access the appstore for every user request, and may be there is a access limit of appstore?
Thanks for your help!
You can use the following link to generate a url for querying iTunes Data for things like the top 100 apps in a particular category.
http://itunes.apple.com/rss/generator/
For the top 100 free productivity apps the generated url is
http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/ws/RSS/topfreeapplications/sf=143441/limit=100/genre=6007/xml
The PDF that you link to is very old and hasn't been updated in quite some time, but even if you did get that working, it doesn't have "Top 100" selections (to my knowledge).
1.The way people do to get information from the AppStore is to parse the Xml returned from ITunes web call, and get the information they want. There's no official api release from apple.
You may be right, its more clever to save a copy of app information on your server.
