REST API quickstart

The GetAppNiche REST API lets you pull the same iOS App Store data you see in the app — app search with revenue and download estimates, ASO keyword difficulty, and reviews — into your own scripts, Google Sheets, n8n/Zapier-style automations, or anything else that can make an HTTP request. You don’t need to be a full-time developer: if you can run a curl command or paste a snippet into an automation tool, you can use it.

Base URL:

https://api.getappniche.com

1. Create an API key

Sign in (or create an account), then go to Settings → API Keys at app.getappniche.com/settings/api-keys. Click Create key, name it, and copy the secret — it’s shown once. Keys look like getappniche_... and can be rotated or revoked anytime.

2. Authenticate

Send your key as a Bearer token on every request:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY

3. Endpoints

Search apps

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getappniche.com/api/v1/apps?search=habit%20tracker&min_revenue=3000&limit=10"

Useful query parameters: store, category, search, min_rating, min_reviews, min_downloads, min_revenue, growth filters, limit (max 100), offset, sort_by, sort_dir.

App detail

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getappniche.com/api/v1/apps/apple:284882215"

Keyword difficulty

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getappniche.com/api/v1/keywords/difficulty?keyword=habit%20tracker&store=apple&country=US&language=en"

Reviews

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  "https://api.getappniche.com/api/v1/reviews?store=apple&store_id=284882215&limit=20"

Python example

import requests

API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}

resp = requests.get(
    "https://api.getappniche.com/api/v1/apps",
    headers=headers,
    params={"search": "habit tracker", "min_revenue": 3000, "limit": 10},
)
resp.raise_for_status()
data = resp.json()

for app in data["items"]:
    print(app["title"], app["revenue_est_monthly"])

JavaScript example

const API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY";

const url = new URL("https://api.getappniche.com/api/v1/apps");
url.searchParams.set("search", "habit tracker");
url.searchParams.set("min_revenue", "3000");
url.searchParams.set("limit", "10");

const resp = await fetch(url, {
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}` },
});
if (!resp.ok) throw new Error(`API error ${resp.status}`);
const data = await resp.json();
console.log(data);

Credits and rate limits

• Your plan includes 5,000 API credits per month, refreshed automatically each month.
• Every response includes credits_charged, so you always know what a call cost.
• Balance and per-request history live at app.getappniche.com/settings. Extra packs of 500 credits are available inside the app.
• Rate limit: 60 requests per minute per API key. Exceed it and you get HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header telling you how long to wait.

Errors and how to fix them

Using an AI assistant instead?

If you want Claude, Cursor, or another AI agent to query this data directly — no code at all — connect the MCP server instead: see Connect AI agents (MCP). For a summary of both options, see the API & MCP overview.
