App Store Scraper

Comprehensive toolkit for retrieving structured data from Apple's App Store and iTunes APIs using curl and jq. The API endpoints return JSON that can be parsed and formatted for analysis. The similar-apps page returns HTML.

Quick Start

Tools Required:

• curl for HTTP requests
• jq for JSON parsing and formatting

Example (field selection only; scripts must run the Retrieval Validation gates first):

# Get app details
curl -fsS "https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=553834731&entity=software" | \
  jq '.results[0] | {name: .trackName, rating: .averageUserRating}'
