Getting Data from Android Play Store [closed]
I have seen some Apps and Websites who use Data from the Android Play store. E.g. Apps or Sites with a top Apps ranking etc. But how can you get the Data? From where I can parse it?
Solution 1:
There's an unofficial open-source API for the Android Market you may try to use to get the information you need. Hope this helps.
Solution 2:
I've coded a small Node.js module to scrape app and list data from Google Play: google-play-scraper
var gplay = require('google-play-scrapper');
gplay.List({
category: gplay.category.GAME_ACTION,
collection: gplay.collection.TOP_FREE,
num: 2
}).then(console.log);
Results:
