Broken as of 10/08/26 (Apple changed their system)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Run the script

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output: report file should be downloaded.
Actual output:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "appdailysales.py", line 353, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "appdailysales.py", line 346, in main
    downloadFile(options)
  File "appdailysales.py", line 247, in downloadFile
    urlDownload = urlBase % match[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

v1.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Apple has apparently changed the way their reporting system works, or so I'm 
told.

You are not providing any parameters when you run the script. You will get that 
error running this command line:

$ python appdailysales.py

You need to include the parameters. Run the following command to see the list 
of parameters.

$ python appdailysales.py -h

The parameters are also listed on the project home page 
(http://code.google.com/p/appdailysales/).

Here is an example of a valid call:

$ python appdailysales.py -a MyAppleID -p MyPassword -v

By default, the script does not display anything when a file is downloaded. Use 
the -v option to see what the script is doing. Here is an example of the output 
from -v parameter:

-- begin script --
reportDates:  ['08/25/2010']
saving download file: S_D_80048915_999998_20100825_20100826204941536.txt.gz
-- end of script --

Hope that helps.

Hi Kirby,

I'm calling the script as

python appdailysales.py -u -a <our_email@address.com> -p <our_password>

and if I try with the -v parameter I get this output:

-- begin script --
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "appdailysales.py", line 353, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "appdailysales.py", line 346, in main
    downloadFile(options)
  File "appdailysales.py", line 247, in downloadFile
    urlDownload = urlBase % match[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

You need to update to the latest script, version 2.1. Apple rolled out an 
completely new sales and trends reporting web site on September 9, 2010. This 
broke the old script, which from the looks of the output above is what you are 
using. The latest version of the script has been re-written to work with the 
new web site.

Awesome, thanks for the update!

One problem though..

When I run it as

python appdailysales.py -u -a <email@address.com> -p <password> 

...it runs fine, but when I try to specify a date using, for example:

python appdailysales.py -u -D 09/14/2010 -a <email@address.com> -p <password> 

then I get this output:

  File "appdailysales.py", line 207
    with open(os.path.join(options.outputDirectory, 'temp.html'), 'w') as f:
            ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The "with" statement has been removed as of script version 2.2. The latest is 
in the svn repo. I will package up a download .zip file soon.

Thanks. Now I'm getting this error (all my contracts are signed, and temp.html 
is empty):

-- begin script --
Unable to load the sales report web page at this time. A number of reasons can 
cause this including delayed reporting and unsigned contracts. Try again later 
or sign into iTunes Connect and verify access.

If the temp.html file is empty then it means the HTML was never downloaded. Not 
sure why that would happen. Maybe a redirect from the server. I would need to 
see the responses from the server to understand better what is happening. I 
wonder if this is one of the account specific issues I keep reading about. I'm 
not able to recreate the problem using the accounts I have access to, so all I 
can say is, Sorry.
