Well, yeah I see there's already support for Apkpure, then why yet another 3rd party store? because it's even better. Its library is much larger since it can scrap from Google Play on demand, while most other alternative stores only upload apk files for selective apps. I guess the coverage is even broader than Google Play since some old apps currently not in Google Play can be found there, too.

I found two projects relating to deal with this site, vijaykumar234/apk-support-downloader and shauryashekhar/webScrapper, although I didn't test them myself and dunno if they still work.

Further more, the webScrapper project covers quite a lot of sites and maybe requests like #341 and #552 are easily doable now.

I'm not sure I understand how https://github.com/shauryashekhar/webScrapper works or how it could be integrated into Obtainium (hasn't been updated in 3 years either).

The approach taken by https://github.com/shauryashekhar/webScrapper could be replicated in Dart, but would need a web scraping plugin that's more capable than the simple manual HTML scraping in use right now. Maybe https://pub.dev/packages/beautiful_soup_dart.

If I'm understanding correctly, this is talking about a particular website or just these 2 repos? If there's a website I'd really like to check it out.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured it out. Duh.

I've just checked a few apps I use with aptoide atm and most of them are available on apk.support as well and they were generally more up-to-date than on aptoide.
