This endpoint will provide you with a list of keywords for which the target app ranks on App Store. You will obtain keyword data and discover the app’s ranking position for each returned keyword.
The returned results are specific to the app_id specified in a POST request.
The app_id parameter can be found on the App Store website as a part of a URL pointing to a specific mobile application. It consists of numbers indicated after id in the URL string. For example, here is the URL of the TikTok app on App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id835599320
The app_id of this app is 835599320
