Apple EPF Feed - Update Frequency

Hey there,

We recently got access to the Apple EPF feed and are hoping for some clarify from any experienced rockstars!

Whilst we can pull all the data and populate our DB with the incremental data, the actual output files from Apple seem super old and infrequent.

For example, at the time of writing this post the last files available are from 5 days ago. We are trying to create a most up to date top chart list and track new releases so this is really not acceptable.

Having researched all the huge data ( App Annie, Sensor Tower, Mobile Action, Apptopia, 42 Matters, etc etc )companies in the market, 99% of them have up to date data and many refresh 3-4 times daily.

Is there anyone out there who knows how they are achieving such reliable data as it seems we are missing something pretty basic here.

I would super appreciate any insights on how they are doing this or if you have been able to achieve this in a legit process.

Many thanks in advance.
Apple used to issue an update nearly every day. When plague-related restrictions were put in place last year the update frequency dropped drastically. It hasn't gotten better and seems maybe it's gotten even worse. The latest update at the moment is nearly a month old!

I guess this means Apple doesn't want to support the EPF feed any more and making it progressively less useful as a way to encourage people to stop using it.
