# applecensorship.com — Apple App Store censorship monitor

> Apple Censorship (a GreatFire project) tracks the availability of iOS apps across
> Apple's ~175 App Store storefronts worldwide, recording where each app is available
> or unavailable and when its status changed.

## Data access
- App availability JSON API: https://applecensorship.com/api/apps/{appStoreId}/status
  Returns tested-storefront count, available/unavailable counts, per-country status
  (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes) and last-tested timestamps (ISO 8601, UTC) for a numeric
  Apple App Store ID.
  Example: https://applecensorship.com/api/apps/1518427877/status
- Removals feed (RSS 2.0): https://applecensorship.com/rss
  The 50 most recent removals of widely-used apps from individual storefronts.
- Filter the whole record: https://applecensorship.com/api/explore
  Every app we monitor, on any combination of filters, with exact counts. Parameters:
  status (missing|gone|everywhere|removed), store (comma-separated ISO 3166-1 alpha-2,
  matched as OR), mode (missing|left|left12m|tested, how store applies), cat (this site's
  eight editorial classes plus Apple's genres), price
  (free|paid|mixed|unknown), aud (1k|10k|100k, minimum worldwide ratings), breadth,
  basket=1 (only apps tested in all 175, so breadth figures are comparable), live=1
  (exclude apps offered nowhere), q, sort (ratings|missing|left|name), page.
  Add reset=1 to start from no filters; without it the defaults are applied.
  Example, VPN apps with large audiences unavailable in mainland China or Russia:
