About this skill

App review mining & ASO

Pull App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android) app details, reviews, ratings, rankings, and similar-app lists as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API.

When to use this skill

  • "What are the reviews / ratings for ?"
  • "How is ranked?" / "top apps in ."
  • "Find apps similar to " / competitive ASO research.
  • "Pull this app's details / privacy / version history."
  • Building an app-review sentiment or competitor-tracking pipeline.

Setup (one-time)

  • Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at https://crawlora.net.
  • Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY in the environment before running the helper.
  • The helper reads CRAWLORA_API_KEY from the environment and sends requests to https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1. Missing/invalid key → 401.

How it works

Choose the store (both have parallel endpoints), then the job:

  1. Find the app — /appstore/search?term=... or /googleplay/search?q=... to resolve the app id / bundle id.
  2. Details — /appstore/app, /googleplay/app for metadata, rating summary, description, and developer.
  3. Reviews — /appstore/reviews, /googleplay/reviews (paginate) for the review text, score, and date to mine sentiment and themes.
  4. Rankings — /appstore/list, /googleplay/list for store charts by category.
  5. Competitors — /appstore/similar, /googleplay/similar for similar apps.

Full endpoint list, methods, and params: reference/endpoints.md.

Calling the API

# Find an app, then pull its reviews (GET, key=value params):
scripts/crawlora.sh /appstore/search term="notion" | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /appstore/reviews id=1232780281 country=us | jq '.data'

scripts/crawlora.sh /googleplay/search term="notion" | jq '.'
scripts/crawlora.sh /googleplay/reviews app_id="notion.id" | jq '.'

Use scripts/crawlora.sh for all requests; it keeps the API key out of command-line arguments.

Endpoint reference

See reference/endpoints.md for every App Store and Google Play endpoint this skill uses (method, path, params, description).

Examples

  • Review sentiment: resolve the app id via search → /appstore/reviews (paginate) → classify each review's sentiment and summarize top complaints/praise.
  • Cross-store compare: pull /appstore/app and /googleplay/app for the same product to compare ratings and review volume across platforms.
  • Category ranking watch: /googleplay/list for a category to track where an app sits in the charts over time.

Notes & limits

  • Credits / pay-on-success: billed only on 2xx; free tier 2,000 credits/mo. Key at https://crawlora.net.
  • Public data only — public store pages; respect Apple's and Google's terms.
  • Security: key lives in CRAWLORA_API_KEY only — never hardcode, query-param, or commit it.
  • Reviews are paginated and locale-specific — pass country/page to widen coverage.
