{
  "name": "get_app",
  "arguments": {
    "request": {
      "action": "aso",

        "platform": "<platform>",
        "storeId": "<storeId>"
      }
    }

}

```

## Response

Position is Search API order, not native App Store rank. `demand` is Apple's weekly search popularity for the phrase (1 to 100, with Apple's 1 to 5 tier). Where Apple reports nothing for a US phrase, `popularityEstimate` carries PeekPanda's own estimate: a tier (`very_low`, `low`, `medium` or `high`), never a number on Apple's scale, with `estimatedAt` and the `modelTrainedAt` of the weekly model behind it. The two never appear together: when `demand` is set, `popularityEstimate` is null. Neither is a search count.
