Introduction

AppEverything API gives you access to:

Quick Overview

A few quick details about our REST API:

Type Description
SSL only We require that all requests are done over SSL.
UTF-8 encoding We use UTF-8 everywhere.
Method GET for all read calls, PUT to submit a new app.
Version number The current version of our API is v1.
Multi-records format JSON dictionaries separated by newlines also known as JSON Lines (JSONL).
Date format All dates in the API are strings in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD.
Error handling Errors are returned using listed HTTP error codes.
Bulk API requests Bulk API requests return request ID to validate request:
Request ID is sent via X-Request-ID HTTP Header. You may get the status of request using Request Status API.

Compression

Our REST API allows the use of compression on the request and the response, using the standards defined by the HTTP 1.1 specification. Some clients will automatically use compression but for some it has to be turned on manually.

To use compression make sure your requests to our API include the following header Accept-Encoding: gzip. Our API will compress the response if this header is specified. For more information on how to add this header refer to code examples below.

Authentication

Requests to the REST API are protected with HTTP Basic authentication. You must provide your API key to each request made against our API. You can always get a new one here . If you lost your key you can just enter your email again and we will retrieve it for you.

Errors

The API uses the following error codes:

Error Code Meaning
400 Bad input parameter or malformed request. The error message should indicate what is specifically wrong.
401 Missing or bad API key (email datageeks[at]appmonsta.com if you need a new API key).
403 You're requesting something your subscription doesn't cover (email datageeks[at]appmonsta.com if you'd like to change your subscription).
404 The data isn't available yet. This may be because we're still collecting it.
429 You've exceeded the rate limit for the API you're trying to access. Wait a little or contact datageeks[at]appmonsta.com.
500 Something went wrong on our end. Email us at datageeks[at]appmonsta.com with the details of your API request, and we'll troubleshoot it ASAP.

Platform Specific Fields

Some of the fields are limited to only a particular platform (either Google Play or App Store). In that case we tag the field description with the appropriate icon:

Icon Meaning
android_only Field available only for Android apps.
itunes_only Field available only for iOS apps.
