TrendsConnector
App Downloads connector
App Downloads connector for Android install trends, store ranking charts, and the top apps on Google Play.
In one connection, your AI assistant can query App Downloads through TrendsConnector, on the same free key as every other source. Ask for up to five years of weekly history, compare growth over 3 months, 12 months or year to date, or pull the live App Downloads board with no keyword at all. Every series comes back on a shared 0 to 100 index, so App Downloads can be compared against Google, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon and the rest in a single answer, with no per platform account, scraper or API key to manage.
App Downloads at a glance
| Series | What you pass | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Android app downloads | Android bundle ID e.g. com.openai.chatgpt | History and growth |
| Android app store ranking charts | Android bundle ID e.g. com.himshers.hims | History and growth |
| Top apps on Google Play | No keyword needed | Live board, right now |
What you can pull
- Android downloads
- Store rankings
- Google Play top apps
History and growth queries return weekly points on a 0 to 100 index, with absolute volume where the source provides it. Growth queries can compare several windows, and several sources, in one call. Live boards return the current ranked list, and on paid plans the biggest climbers against an earlier snapshot.
How to ask
Pass an Android bundle ID, such as com.openai.chatgpt, for downloads and ranking charts. The Google Play top list needs no keyword.
Example prompt for your AI
Using TrendsConnector, show me the download trend for Android app com.openai.chatgpt.
Example call
The same data is available as an MCP tool for your assistant and as a direct REST call for your own code. One key works for both.

}Connect it in three steps
- 1. Get a free key. 100 requests a month, no credit card. Your key is shown on screen and emailed to you, and it works immediately.
- 2. Paste one config. Add the TrendsConnector MCP server to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code or Windsurf. The server URL is
https://api.trendsconnector.com/mcpand the only value you change is your key. - 3. Ask in plain language. Use the example prompt above, or your own keyword. Your assistant calls the connector and answers with the series, the growth, or the live board.
Full per client setup, including Claude.ai Connectors and copy paste JSON for every supported client, is in the docs connect guide. The machine readable reference is at /docs.md and /openapi.json.
What this does not include
This is Android. iOS top charts are on the App Store connector. A display name is not enough. Use the bundle ID.
TrendsConnector returns trend data: history, growth and live boards on a normalized scale. It is not a scraper, and it does not return raw posts, videos, listings or personal data from App Downloads. If you need a neighbouring signal, one key already covers it: see the related connectors below instead of signing up for a second tool.

Questions
What identifier does Android use?
The bundle ID, such as com.openai.chatgpt, not the name shown in the store.
Does this include the iOS App Store?
No. iOS top free and top paid are on the App Store connector.
How do I connect the App Downloads connector to Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT?
Get a free API key, then paste the TrendsConnector MCP config into your client (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code and Windsurf are covered in the docs). The same key also works as a Bearer token for direct REST calls. There is nothing to install per platform.
Is the App Downloads connector free?
Yes, to start. The Free plan includes 100 requests a month, every data source, and both MCP and API access, with no credit card. Paid plans (Starter $19, Pro $49, Business $199 a month) raise the request limit and history depth. Annual billing saves 20 percent.
How much App Downloads history can I get?
Where the source supports it, about five years of weekly history, returned on a shared 0 to 100 index with absolute volume where available. Free includes 90 days, Starter one year, Pro two or more years, and Business the full archive.
Can I compare App Downloads with other platforms in one question?
Yes. The growth tool takes a comma separated source list, so one call can compare App Downloads against Google, YouTube, TikTok, Amazon or any other supported source over windows such as 3 months, 12 months or year to date, all on the same scale.
Do I need a separate App Downloads account or API key?
No. One TrendsConnector key covers every source and both access methods (MCP and REST). Upstream platform access is handled for you.

Setup differs per client, so each of those pages carries the exact config for that tool. The full list is on all connectors.
Related connectors
Every connector runs on the same key, so adding a related source is a new question to your assistant, not a new signup. The full list is on the sources section of the homepage.
