Search App Store with one API call

Read App Store — iOS apps and customer reviews — without building or maintaining a scraper. Official iTunes endpoint. Same response shape as every other platform here, so one parser handles all of them. 1 credit a call.

The call

curl -H "x-api-key: $SS_KEY" \
  "https://api.socialsearchapi.com/v1/appstore/search?query=llm+agents"

This call costs 1 credit once you are on credits. A new account gets 5 free calls on any platform — verify an email and this command runs as-is.

Why not just scrape it yourself

The iTunes Search endpoint is public and stable; the review feed is a paginated RSS document per country that has to be walked and normalised. Included so app research sits in the same schema as social.
