# List competitors

> Scored list: `shared_keywords` (search terms both apps rank for) counts most, the store's own similar-apps
list (`similar_position`) adds a boost. Feed the result into `getApp` / `listAppChanges` for a
competitor digest.




## OpenAPI

````yaml openapi.json GET /apps/{app}/competitors
openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: AppGoat API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: App Store + Google Play data for agents and apps.
  description: >
    Every app and developer in both stores, daily top charts, reviews, change
    feeds, metric history and keyword

    (search-rank) intelligence.


    **Conventions**

    - `{app}` accepts anything that identifies an app: an App Store id
    (`284882215`, `id284882215`), a Play
      package (`com.spotify.music`), an Apple bundle id (`com.spotify.client`), a store URL, `apple:<id>` /
      `play:<id>`, or a name (`spotify` → best match, with a warning in `meta.warnings`). Add `store=apple|play`
      to disambiguate. `data.linked` is the same app in the other store when we know it.
    - Freshness is automatic: app-scoped reads refresh data older than `max_age`
    seconds from the store first
      (1 credit per country fetched, capped at 10). `wait=true` (default) blocks up to ~25 s; on timeout, or with
      `wait=false`, you get the cached data with `meta.freshness.refreshing: true` and a `job_id` to poll at
      `GET /v1/jobs/{id}` (free).
    - `country` defaults to `us`; pass a comma list (paid plans) or `all`
    (Studio).

    - `include=` adds sections, `fields=` keeps only the listed top-level
    fields, lists page with `cursor`
      (pass `meta.next_cursor` back unchanged).
    - Every success is `{ data, meta }`; `meta.credits_used` is what the call
    cost and `meta.credits_remaining`
      what is left. Errors are `{ error: { code, message, hint, docs } }`: read `hint`, it says what to do next.
    - `x-credits` on each operation documents its price.

    - Watches turn store changes into events: `POST /v1/watches`, then poll `GET
    /v1/events` or add a webhook
      (`POST /v1/webhooks`). Watches, events and webhooks are free; only the plan's watched-app and keyword-slot
      limits apply. `/v1/tracked-keywords` is deprecated: use keyword watches.
