## Source

Apple public Search + Search hints. Difficulty from page-one rating counts Apple returns (page_one_median_rating_count: median page-one ratingCount, log10 scale, 1M ratings = 100). Demand is autocomplete order from apple_search_hints (rank + variant count), not volume and not Apple Ads popularity. Apple Ads Insights is not wired. Positions are observed_search_api_position from itunes.apple.com/search us/en_us.

## Refresh

Snapshots younger than 24 hours are served from storage; search hints are reused for 7 days. Trigger/worker drains aso_refresh_job under the shared 4s pacer (2,500 Apple calls per UTC day). App refresh cooldown is 60 minutes. Users may start 40 refreshes per UTC day. Caps: 25 tracked apps, 100 keywords per app, 200 queries per job.
