Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

App downloads and chart ranking trends for iOS and Android. Free key at trendsapi.ai

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http app-store https://app-store.api.trendsapi.ai/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "app-store": {
      "url": "https://app-store.api.trendsapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "app-store": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://app-store.api.trendsapi.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer token. Get your free API key at https://trendsapi.ai

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is App Store Trends API safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.2) reached the registry 15 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Opencu

App Store and Google Play chart API

App Store and Google Play demand via the Trends API. Android download history plus live iOS and Play charts.

Key: trendsapi.ai/#get-key. HTTP contract and every source: trendsapi-ai/trendsapi.

Authentication

pip install trendsapi-app-store

export TRENDSAPI_KEY=your_key

Python 3.9+. Same key as the HTTP API.

from trendsapi_app_store import TrendsAPI

client = TrendsAPI() # TRENDSAPI_KEY

client = TrendsAPI(api_key="YOUR_KEY")

Keyword helpers default to source: "app downloads". Pass source= to hit any other platform with the same client. Official full client (every source, no preset): trendsapi.

Methods

MethodREST modeReturns
get_time_series(keyword, source=, data_mode=)get_time_serieslist[TrendsDataPoint]
get_growth(keyword, percent_growth=, source=, data_mode=)get_growthGetGrowthResponse
get_live(limit=, offset=, category=)get_top_trendsGetTopTrendsResponse
get_top_trends(type=, ...)get_top_trendsGetTopTrendsResponse

source is lowercase (app downloads). type is exact (App Store Top Free). Mixing them is a 400.

from trendsapi_app_store import TrendsAPI

client = TrendsAPI() # TRENDSAPI_KEY

client = TrendsAPI(api_key="YOUR_KEY")

series = client.get_time_series("com.openai.chatgpt") print(series[-1].date, series[-1].value)

growth = client.get_growth("com.openai.chatgpt", percent_growth=["3M", "12M"]) print(growth.results[0].growth, growth.results[0].direction)

hot = client.get_live(limit=10) print(hot.data) # [[1, "..."], ...]

get_time_series

points = client.get_time_series("com.openai.chatgpt")

Each point:

FieldAlwaysMeaning
dateyesYYYY-MM-DD
valueyes0-100 index for this series
keywordyesEcho
volumenoAbsolute volume when available
source or datatypenoPipeline label

Python returns list[TrendsDataPoint]. Use .date and .value, not ["date"]. JS returns the same fields as object properties.

get_growth

g = client.get_growth("com.openai.chatgpt", percent_growth=["12M", "3M", "YTD"])

print(g.results[0].growth, g.results[0].direction)

percent_growth default: ["12M"]. Presets: 7D 14D 30D 1M 2M 3M 6M 9M 12M/1Y 18M 24M/2Y 36M/3Y 48M 60M/5Y MTD QTD YTD. Custom: {"name": "Launch", "recent": "2024-06-01", "baseline": "2024-01-01"}.

FieldMeaning
search_termKeyword
data_sourceSource
resultsOne object per window (period, growth, direction, dates, values)
metadataCounts / success flag

Several windows still count as one request. Python: growth.results[0].growth. JS: growth.results[0].growth.

get_live

hot = client.get_live(limit=10)
FieldMeaning
as_of_tsSnapshot time
typeFeed name
limit, offset, countPagination
data[rank, label] rows

Python: hot.data. JS: hot.data. Optional offset= and category= (Amazon Best Sellers by Category, Top Websites only).

Async

import asyncio

from trendsapi_app_store import AsyncTrendsAPI

async def main(): c = AsyncTrendsAPI() return await asyncio.gather( c.get_time_series("com.openai.chatgpt"), c.get_time_series("com.openai.chatgpt", source="google search"), )

asyncio.run(main())

Each 200 is one billed request.

Pandas

from dataclasses import asdict

import pandas as pd from trendsapi_app_store import TrendsAPI

df = pd.DataFrame(asdict(p) for p in TrendsAPI().get_time_series("com.openai.chatgpt")) df["date"] = pd.to_datetime(df["date"]) print(df.set_index("date")["value"].resample("ME").mean().tail())

Call (curl)

FieldValue
EndpointPOST https://api.trendsapi.ai/api
AuthAuthorization: Bearer $TRENDSAPI_KEY
Historysource: app downloads with get_time_series or get_growth
KeywordAndroid bundle ID, e.g. com.openai.chatgpt (not chatgpt)
Live typeApp Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, Google Play
curl -sS -X POST https://api.trendsapi.ai/api \

-H "Authorization: Bearer $TRENDSAPI_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"mode":"get_time_series","source":"app downloads","keyword":"com.openai.chatgpt"}'

Source notes

  • chatgpt as keyword is 404. Use the Play Store id.
  • app downloads is Android history. iOS lists are live feeds only.
  • Live type values: App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, Google Play.
