Apple App Store Product

Retrieve Apple App Store product page details through Frevana.

Purpose

This skill is for looking up details for a specific Apple App Store product.

Inputs:

product_id (or --id)
optional type (default: app)
optional country (default: us)
optional output; defaults to ./out/apple-product-<timestamp>-<pid>.json
optional SerpAPI flags: serpapi_output (json | html), no_cache, async, zero_trace

Output:

validated response JSON with Apple App Store product details
the same validated JSON saved to a local file on every successful run

This skill validates that the response is JSON and returns it unchanged. Do not rewrite or reshape the returned data unless the user explicitly asks for a transformation.

What This Skill Needs

user-provided product_id
optional type, country
FREVANA_TOKEN in the environment variables, or an explicit --token override for the current run
curl
bash
python3

Execution Order

Use this flow so the request stays simple and reliable:

Confirm the user has provided product_id.
Prefer the script over ad hoc curl commands.
Let the script read FREVANA_TOKEN first.
In interactive shell usage, if FREVANA_TOKEN is missing, the script may prompt for it.
In non-interactive or agent workflows, fail fast if the token is missing and tell the user to set FREVANA_TOKEN or pass --token explicitly.
Run the script once. It prints the validated JSON to stdout and saves the same JSON to a file.
Use the saved JSON file for any follow-up parsing or summarization instead of calling the API again.
Return the validated response JSON, or summarize the product details if the user does not need the full payload.

Commands

Basic product lookup

bash <skill-path>/scripts/get_apple_product.sh \
  --product-id "6444058226"

--id is accepted as an alias for --product-id.

Lookup with region country

bash <skill-path>/scripts/get_apple_product.sh \
  --product-id "6444058226" \
  --country us

Save response JSON to a specific file

bash <skill-path>/scripts/get_apple_product.sh \
  --product-id "6444058226" \
  --output ./out/my-apple-product.json

Token override for the current run

bash <skill-path>/scripts/get_apple_product.sh \
  --product-id "6444058226" \
  --token "your bearer token"

Fixed Request Shape

The script sends this payload shape, omitting optional fields that were not provided:

{
  "product_id": "6444058226",
  "type": "app",
  "country": "us"
}

Only product_id is required. Do not invent optional parameter values when the user did not provide them.

Response Shape

The API returns JSON. Common sections include:

search_metadata
search_parameters
product_results / product

Output

Success: the script validates that the response body is JSON, writes it to a file, prints the saved path to stderr, and prints the JSON to stdout
Default file path: ./out/apple-product-<timestamp>-<pid>.json
With --output: the same JSON is written to the specified file path instead of the default path
Failure: the script prints the response body or parsing error and exits non-zero

Notes

Require --product-id (or --id)
If the user provides an App Store URL (e.g., https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6444058226), extract the numeric ID after id (6444058226)
If curl is missing, stop and tell the user to install curl
If python3 is missing, stop and tell the user to install python3
Do not echo the Bearer token back to the user
Summarize the key fields the user actually cares about instead of dumping raw JSON unless they ask for the full payload
