Quickstart
From zero to your first response in a couple of minutes. Every endpoint is a single authenticated HTTP call — no SDK required.
1. Get an API key
Create a key in your dashboard. New accounts start with free credits, no card required. Keys look like appmanai_live_… and spend credits from your balance.
Copy the secret when it's shown — it's only displayed once.
2. Make your first request
Send the key as a Bearer token. Looking up supported countries is free — reference data costs nothing, so you can build a valid request before spending anything:
curl https://appmanai.com/api/v1/resources/countries \
-H "Authorization: Bearer appmanai_live_xxx"3. Query the stores
Every read is a GET with query parameters. store is ios or android and country is an ISO code like US. For example, search apps:
curl -G "https://appmanai.com/api/v1/apps/search" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer appmanai_live_xxx" \
--data-urlencode "store=ios" \
--data-urlencode "country=US" \
--data-urlencode "q=habit tracker" \
--data-urlencode "limit=10"Parameters that take a list are repeated:
curl -G "https://appmanai.com/api/v1/keywords/metrics/sap/batch" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer appmanai_live_xxx" \
--data-urlencode "country=US" \
--data-urlencode "keywords=habit tracker" \
--data-urlencode "keywords=daily planner"The two /generate/* endpoints are the exception — they are POST with a JSON body, because they take draft copy rather than a lookup key.
Every response carries a few headers worth reading:
X-Request-Id— the id of this request; quote it in any support report.X-Credit-Cost/X-Credit-Balance— what the call cost and what's left. A call that finds no data costs0and also carriesX-Credit-Waived: no-data.X-RateLimit-Limit/X-RateLimit-Remaining/X-RateLimit-Reset— your current rate-limit window.
