I want to programmatically track my app's search ranking on Apple's app store. Is there any API or website to do this, outside of the 'App Store' app on my iPhone?
Apple maintains public-facing webpages for all apps in the App Store at itunes.apple.com. If you use Google or an equivalent search engine and limit the results to that domain, you can effectively search the App Store from any web browser.
Android users can head to play.google.com to search and browse Android apps and games from any computer browser, but unfortunately for iOS users – iPhone and iPad – there's no dedicated URL to do the same.
Open the Fnd website > enter your search query in the big search bar > hit Enter. 2. Now you'll see the top three search results in apps, music, movies, TV, books, Mac and podcasts.
the following websites allow searching the iOS app store.
I'm not sure how the exact ranking is reflected, but Apple now provides an JSON API call that you can make.

This includes the ability to add in a callback parameter so you can even incorporate it into a web app without having to parse the results on your server.
The end API call would looks something like this:
http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=props&entity=software&country=US&callback=lkasdfj
