Look up a single app by its store ID. Returns app metadata including name, developer, category, rating, reviews, installs (Android), and price. Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).
sonar_app_search
Search apps in the App Store or Google Play by keyword. Returns ranked list of apps with metadata (results are returned in store ranking order). Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).
sonar_app_aso_score
Calculate an ASO (App Store Optimization) audit score (0-100) for an app. Returns the overall score plus an itemized breakdown of checks (title length, keyword usage, screenshots, ratings, etc.) so you can identify what to improve. Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).
sonar_app_extract_keywords
Extract the most likely target keywords from an app's title and description, ranked by relevance. Useful for understanding what an app (yours or a competitor) is optimizing for. Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).
sonar_app_reviews
Fetch user reviews for an app. Supports filtering by star rating range and sorting by recent or helpful. Useful for sentiment analysis, feature-request mining, and competitive research.
sonar_app_revenue
Estimate monthly revenue for an app, based on install counts, ratings, and category benchmarks. Returns the dollar estimate, a confidence grade (high/medium/low) with the factors behind it, and the methodology used — always communicate the confidence alongside the number.
sonar_keyword_search
Research a keyword and related terms. Returns difficulty (0-100), popularity score, and results count for the seed keyword plus related autocomplete suggestions. Use this to find keywords worth targeting.
sonar_keyword_metrics
Difficulty + popularity for a specific keyword (or up to 25 in bulk). Use this when you already know which keywords you care about — costs 1 credit per keyword. Works without an API key for up to 5 keywords/day (free tier, per IP); an API key removes that cap. Use sonar_keyword_search instead when you want related keyword ideas alongside metrics.
sonar_keyword_suggestions
Get autocomplete suggestions for a seed keyword from the App Store or Google Play. Returns terms with a priority score (higher = more searched). Lighter and faster than sonar_keyword_search — use when you only need term ideas without difficulty/popularity scoring. Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).
sonar_top_charts
Get a store top chart (free / paid / grossing, overall or by category) with day-over-day movement: per-app rank delta, apps new to the chart, biggest movers and apps that dropped out. Use to see what's rising in a market or category. Note: summary, movers and droppedApps always describe the full top 200 — `limit` truncates the returned entries only. Movement is empty on the first day a chart is requested (no previous snapshot yet). Works without an API key (free tier, limited daily use per IP).
sonar_list_apps
List the apps tracked in the caller's Sonar workspace (own apps + competitors), each with its latest snapshot (rating, review count, version, installs). Returns the Sonar app UUIDs needed by sonar_get_app, sonar_app_keywords, sonar_app_rankings, and sonar_app_changes. Cursor-paginated (default 100 per page). Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).
sonar_get_app
Get full details for one tracked app in the caller's Sonar workspace: store metadata plus up to 90 daily snapshots of rating, review count, version, and installs. Requires an Indie plan (trial counts).
