Love the new web-based App Store that launched today!
I’m really hoping Apple will eventually provide a JSON/REST API for search results.
Google doesn’t officially offer one either, but because of how the Play Store works for Chrome and Android, developers can use a third-party library like google-play-scraper.
For small independent developers like myself, it’s a bit of a disadvantage being priced out of expensive data brokers such as Sensor Tower, who are obviously scraping the App Store anyway.
It’s also uncomfortable knowing those companies harvest data from App Store Connect while charging us to access analytics based on our own apps.
Would it be too much to ask for an official—or even semi-official—way to retrieve country-specific keyword rankings for apps?
