FAQ

Common questions

What app rankings data does Trends MCP provide?

Historical Android app store ranking chart positions sourced from AppBrain via Google Play. Returns normalized ranking trend data showing how an app's chart position has changed over time.

What format does the keyword need to be in?

You must use the Android bundle ID (package name), not the display name. For example: 'com.spotify.music' for Spotify, 'com.openai.chatgpt' for ChatGPT. Find the bundle ID in the Google Play URL: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=THIS_PART.

How is the rankings data normalized?

App ranking positions are normalized to a 0-100 scale for consistent comparison. A higher normalized value indicates a better (lower number) chart position. This allows ranking trends to be compared across apps and over time.

Can I use this to track competitor apps?

Yes. Compare ranking trends across competing apps in the same category to identify which products are gaining or losing chart position over time - useful for competitive intelligence and product benchmarking.

How does app rankings differ from app download data?

App download data tracks estimated install volume. App rankings track chart position on the Google Play store. Both are useful: downloads measure absolute growth, rankings measure relative competitive position within the store.
