iTunes Connect API [closed]

Does iTunes Connect has an API? How do some applications download financial and sale reports to computer? Are there some C/Objective-C API wrappers?

Solution 1:

Update 11/02/2018

On November/18, Apple finally released the Appstore Connect REST API. Referencing the Apple description:

TestFlight. Manage beta builds of your app, testers, and groups.

Users and Access. Send invitations for users to join your team. Adjust their level of access or remove users.

Reporting. Download sales and financial reports.

Update 10/03/2018

Good news on this one: on 2018 WWDC, Apple announced the Appstore Connect API - where you'll be able to access almost everything related to your Appstore Connect management. You can see two related talks here and here.

The only curious thing is that its release date was supposed to be late this summer - so it's probably delayed. Nonetheless we should be able to see a release soon.

iTunes finally released an auto download tool as noted in the PDF

Here is the class file

Solution 2:

There's no API for iTunes connect, the only way you can access the information is through the web or with a program that scrapes the web pages. If you want to create something in Objective-C, download AppSales from github, it's an iPhone app which downloads financial reports from ITC (or maybe itts). You can download it and install it on your iPhone if you have an Apple developer account. You can look through their code and see how they scrape the daily and weekly reports (hint: it's ugly).

Note that if you try to create an iPhone app to do this, Apple will reject it. It breaks the rule about "No public API". Other people have tried this and been rejected.

If you're just looking for software to do this on your computer, I'd highly recommend AppViz

Here's a nice post which compares these and more apps:
