App Store Metadata Api Json Data: Dataset Structure and Field Coverage

Datadory delivers app store metadata api json data covering comprehensive field definitions, entity mappings, and historical time series — structured for direct analytics and delivered on demand.

1,744 datasets. Pick your catch.

Which endpoint should you use for which job?

The choice follows from freshness versus volume. Live checks want the API; population-scale analysis wants the bulk table; desktop-macOS coverage exists only as an API-derived snapshot.

Read the temporal column carefully when mixing sources: the iTunes Search API serves only present state, the AppGoblin table is a February-March 2026 crawl (appgoblin_updated_at runs 2026-02-06 to 2026-03-19), the Kaggle snapshot froze in June 2021, and macpaw-research collected its corpus in December 2023-January 2024.

Questions worth asking

Does the iTunes Search API require an integration key?

No. Both /search and /lookup respond to plain HTTPS GET requests without a key, token or registration, returning UTF-8 JSON shaped as a resultCount integer plus a results array. The practical limit is throughput, not money: Apple permits approximately 20 calls per minute, after which it expects heavier users to move to the Enterprise Partner Feed.
