Connect App Store Connect

App Store Connect is the spine of everything AppApex does. A single read-only API key backfills 90 days of downloads, proceeds, conversion funnels, search terms, and reviews. It takes about three minutes.

What you'll need

Admin or Account Holder access in App Store Connect (only needed to mint the key).
About three minutes. The key is read-only, so there's nothing to undo.

Create an API key

1
Open the API keys page
In App Store Connect go to Users and Access, then Integrations, then App Store Connect API.
2
Generate a Team key
Click the plus button, name it AppApex, and assign the Developer role. Developer is enough for read-only sync.
3
Download the .p8 file
App Store Connect shows the private key once. Download the .p8 file and copy the Issuer ID and Key ID from the same screen.

Add the key to AppApex

1
Open the integration
In AppApex go to Settings, then Integrations, then App Store Connect.
2
Paste your credentials
Drop in the Issuer ID and Key ID, upload the .p8 file, and save.

Stored encrypted

Credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest. The key is read-only - write access is only ever requested per Autopilot action, never at the integration level.

What syncs

Your first sync starts immediately and usually finishes in 30 to 60 seconds for a single app. AppApex back-fills 90 days of history so the agents have a baseline to reason against.

Downloads, proceeds, and product page conversion funnels
Search terms and impression-to-download rates
Ratings and the full review stream

One key covers every app on your team. Add more apps later and they sync against the same connection automatically.
