Getting number of user ratings for all apps on App Store

276 Views Asked by At

I've been approved for using EPF(Enterprise Partner Feed) to download metadata of App Store. However, I want to get the number of user ratings for all apps and this information is not included in EPF data.

The current solution is using iTunes Search API (https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=909253) but there are around 1 million apps. Sending 1M requests per day to this API seems to be a huge load to both sides.

iTunes Search API could take up to 200 ids per request, just concatenate them with comma.

By sending 200 ids per request, I need only 5000 requests to query all apps. It won't be a problem to my server as well as to Apple server(would not be banned).
