Google Play App Competitors Live

‌
This endpoint will provide you with a list of mobile applications that intersect with the target app for its ranking keywords on Google Play. You will obtain the IDs of competitor apps along with search volume and ranking data on competitor ranking keywords.

The returned results are specific to the app_id specified in a POST request.

The app_id parameter can be found on the Google Play website as a part of a URL pointing to a specific mobile application. For example, here is the URL of the Telegram app on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.telegram.messenger

The app_id of this app is org.telegram.messenger

POST

Your account will be charged for each request.
The cost can be calculated on the Pricing page.

All POST data should be sent in the JSON format (UTF-8 encoding). The task setting is done using the POST method. When setting a task, you should send all task parameters in the task array of the generic POST array. You can send up to 2000 API calls per minute, each Live API call can contain only one task.

You can specify the number of results you want to retrieve, filter and sort them.

Below you will find a detailed description of the fields you can use for setting a task.

Description of the fields for setting a task:

Field name	Type	Description

`filters`	array	array of results filtering parameters optional field you can add several filters at once (8 filters maximum) you should set a logical operator `and`, `or` between the conditions the following operators are supported: `<`, `<=`, `>`, `>=`, `=`, `<>`, `in`, `not_in` example: `["intersections",">",500]` `[["competitor_metrics.google_play_search_organic.pos_1","<>",10],"and",["avg_position",">=","10"]]` `[[["intersections",">=",50],"and",["competitor_metrics.google_play_search_organic.pos_1","in",[1,5]]], "or", ["sum_position",">=","10000"]]` for more information about filters, please refer to Dataforseo Labs - Filters or this help center guide
`order_by`	array	results sorting rules optional field you can use the same values as in the `filters` array to sort the results; possible sorting types: `asc` - results will be sorted in the ascending order; `desc` - results will be sorted in the descending order; you should use a comma to specify a sorting type; example: `["intersections,asc"]` Note: you can set no more than three sorting rules in a single request; you should use a comma to separate several sorting rules; example: `["intersections,desc","sum_position,asc"]` default rule: `["intersections,desc"]` Note: if the `item_types` array contains item types that are different from `organic`, the results will be ordered by the first item type in the array
`limit`	integer	the maximum number of returned apps optional field default value: `100` maximum value: `1000`
`offset`	integer	offset in the results array of returned apps optional field default value: `0` if you specify the `10` value, the first ten apps in the results array will be omitted and the data will be provided for the successive keywords
`tag`	string	user-defined task identifier optional field the character limit is 255 you can use this parameter to identify the task and match it with the result you will find the specified `tag` value in the `data` object of the response
