Parameters

NameInTypeRequiredDescription

countryquery^[a-z]{2}$NoApple storefront as two lowercase letters. Defaults to us.

Known errors

400invalid_request for an unknown query parameter or a country that is not two lowercase letters.

401authentication_required for a missing or invalid credential.

402subscription_required when access is not entitled.

403authorization_required for a missing context:read scope or unavailable preview access.

429rate_limited; wait for the Retry-After seconds, then send the same request again.

Source

Chart placements come from dated public App Store chart observations. chart.historyDays says how much chart history exists, so movement is day over day, not a trend. Paid ads are collected per chosen app, so an app without ads has not been collected. Organic posts are matched by product name, not account ownership, and their views are as last counted. pulse.organic.viewsCountedAt says when. Keyword positions are observed App Store search result positions, not search volume.

Refresh

This GET reads stored evidence and never calls Apple or an advertising library. Keyword and organic aggregates are precomputed off the request path, and the dates in the payload say how fresh each stream is.

Rate limits

Market reads share the standard read budget of 60 requests per minute with every other PeekPanda read. During the preview the count is kept per client network address, not per plan, and it resets at the end of each one-minute window. A 429 response carries Retry-After when the server can say how long to wait: wait that many seconds, then send the same request again. Peak and Panda quotas for these reads are not enforced yet, and stored reads do not use your refresh allowance.

Bounded lists

This read has no cursor. Each board holds at most 15 apps and each search list at most 20 queries. Every weekly series has exactly 8 Monday-start weeks, oldest first, and the last one is the current, partial week. Findings and suspects list only the apps that meet their rule, so any of them can be empty. A suspect sits on at least 3 of the four boards: chart, paid, organic and search.
