Competitors - Appeeky REST API & MCP Server

GET /v1/ai-visibility/:appId/competitors

Across all your tracked prompts, this endpoint returns the apps that ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or Perplexity surfaces — ranked by how often they appear. It’s the “you should know about these competitors” list: every app the assistants think a user with your tracked intents might pick instead of yours. Use it to:

Identify competitors you didn’t realise the AI consistently mentions in your space.
Quantify how often a known competitor is recommended versus you.
Find ASO benchmarking targets — the apps with the highest visibility in your prompts are the ones to study.

Returned sorted by appearancesTotal desc. Up to 20 rows.

Field	Description
`trackId`	Canonical App Store ID. `null` if AI Visibility couldn’t confidently match the assistant’s spelling against the App Store (rare, usually web-only products).
`name`	The app name as the assistant most recently spelled it.
`iconUrl`	Reserved — currently `null`. Will be populated in a future release; use GET /apps/:id with `trackId` to fetch the icon today.
`appearancesTotal`	Total number of times this app appeared across every (prompt × model × day) within the window. One assistant mentioning it in 3 prompts on 5 days counts as 15.
`intentsCovered`	Number of distinct intents (out of your tracked set) where this app appeared at least once. A high number means a broad competitor; a low number means a niche one.
`positionAvg`	Average rank in the assistants’ lists when this app was mentioned. Lower is better. `null` if the assistants only mentioned the app in non-list prose.
`visibilityPct`	% of distinct prompts (in the window) where this app appeared. The closest single number to your own overview `visibilityScore` for direct comparison.

Reading the table

The most useful comparison is your own visibilityPct (from GET /overview) versus the competitors here:

Your AI Visibility Score:  38   ← from /overview
─────────────────────────────────────
Calm visibilityPct:        79.2  ← appears in 79% of your prompts
Headspace visibilityPct:   64.6
Insight Timer visibilityPct: 37.5  ← about even with you

Reading the row for Insight Timer: it appears in roughly the same share of your tracked prompts as your own app, but at average position 3.6 (vs. probably 1–2 for Calm). This means Insight Timer is a comparably-known alternative AI surfaces with you, not above you. A row where intentsCovered is high and positionAvg is low is a competitor that’s actively winning the same buyer journeys you target. That’s where your ASO effort and any AI-assistant-targeted content (review-rich blogs, listicles in major publications) will move the needle the most.

Code examples

# 14-day window, ChatGPT
curl "https://api.appeeky.com/v1/ai-visibility/1234567890/competitors?country=us&model=chatgpt" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

# 30-day window, Perplexity
curl "https://api.appeeky.com/v1/ai-visibility/1234567890/competitors?country=us&model=perplexity&windowDays=30" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Pattern: enrich with App Store metadata

The endpoint returns trackId for resolved competitors. To get icons, ratings, and developer info for the dashboard:

const competitors = (
  await fetch(
    "https://api.appeeky.com/v1/ai-visibility/1234567890/competitors?model=chatgpt",
    { headers: { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } }
  ).then((r) => r.json())
).data;

const enriched = await Promise.all(
  competitors
    .filter((c) => c.trackId)
    .slice(0, 5)
    .map(async (c) => {
      const meta = await fetch(
        `https://api.appeeky.com/v1/apps/${c.trackId}`,
        { headers: { "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY" } }
      ).then((r) => r.json());
      return { ...c, iconUrl: meta.data.iconUrl, rating: meta.data.averageUserRating };
    })
);

Or use the dedicated Similar Apps endpoint if you want App Store algorithm-derived competitors instead of AI-derived ones — the two sets are often different in interesting ways.
