Competitor Tracking API tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or poststrends___get_growthFreePoint-to-point growth for a keyword on one or more sources. Each window is a preset string (12M, 3M, YTD, and the other listed periods). Values are on a 0-100 scale, plus absolute volume when available. Designed for growth questions; for charting or custom math, get_time_series provides the full series. app downloads and app rankings are keyword sources (Android bundle ID). They are not the App Store / Google Play live boards on get_top_trends. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.
trends___get_time_seriesFreeFull historical series for one keyword and one source (0-100 values, plus volume when available). Suited for charting or custom math. Live 'what's trending now' boards are on get_top_trends. get_growth answers most growth questions with less data. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.
trends___get_top_postsFreeLive top posts for one hashtag on one social source. Fetched live on every call; nothing is stored. For when the user already has a hashtag and wants the posts winning on it. get_top_trends ranks the hashtags themselves. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.
trends___get_top_trendsFreeLive top-trending board for exactly one feed type. No keyword. For 'Amazon Best Sellers by Category', 'Google Trends by Category', 'Top Websites', 'Substack by Category', and 'TikTok Trending Hashtags by Category', category selects the board. Default sort is current rank. Use sort='rank_change' for climbers vs a prior snapshot (window 1d, 3d, 7d, 14d, or 30d). If the requested board is not in the database yet (for example a country that is not collected on the schedule), the board is fetched live. App Store Top Free, App Store Top Paid, and Google Play are live store boards, not keyword lookups. App history is available via get_growth or get_time_series with source app downloads or app rankings and an Android bundle ID. Live boards are only available here, not via get_time_series. Returns a plan-limit message when the request is rate limited or the monthly quota is used up.
