Web Scrape/Crawl Google Play Store/iTunes


I would like to find the most downloaded apps from the previous month in Google Play store(or I can make do with itunes too actually), and perform further exploratory data analysis with the data on these apps.

Python is familiar to me. But I don't know what approach is used to achieve this.


Solution

  • There is another alternative package which works for scraping google play store data, below is the link

    https://pypi.org/project/google-play-scraper/

    In case, your looking straight for sample code follow the below steps

    from google_play_scraper import app
    
    result = app(
    'com.nianticlabs.pokemongo',
    lang='en', # defaults to 'en'
    country='us' # defaults to 'us'
    )
    print(result)
