Matching Algorithm

Similar apps are discovered through a 3-layer matching algorithm:

Keyword overlap (best signal) — Apps ranking for the same keywords
Title-based search + genre filter — Meaningful words from the app’s title are searched on iTunes, then filtered to only include apps in the same primary genre
Same developer — Other apps from the same developer (up to 3)

The algorithm combines all three layers, deduplicates results, and returns up to 10 similar apps. The order reflects match quality — keyword-matched apps appear first, followed by genre-matched, then developer apps.

Migration from Intelligence Endpoint

Previously, similar apps were included in the GET /v1/apps/:id/intelligence response. The intelligence endpoint now returns similarApps: [] by default. Before (single call):

const intel = await fetch("/v1/apps/913335252/intelligence");
const { similarApps } = intel.data;

After (parallel calls):

const [intel, similar] = await Promise.all([
  fetch("/v1/apps/913335252/intelligence"),
  fetch("/v1/apps/913335252/similar"),
]);
