Feature Request: Appstore Release Notes #39

Open QuynhNguyen opened 7 years ago

QuynhNguyen commented 7 years ago

Would love to have a list of release notes. Or even just the count would be amazing!

Thanks

I'm sorry but I don't really have that, I should be keeping a CHANGELOG but for now your safest bet is to just review the commits. Maybe the releases list can be extracted from npm somehow

@facundoolano Sorry, I meant the AppStore App's release note. Thanks!

There's an additional lookup endpoint that returns this data:

https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?mt=8&id=

Give that a try using an iPhone user agent. It contains a lot of version history data (versionHistory).

This opens the App, it ID I pasted in, in iTunes or AppStore. Depends if I open it on iPhone or a Computer. How did you extract data from this? Even curl gives the code for "Connecting to Apple Music..."-site back.

I'm also interested in a scraping endpoint for update notes in app store. If someone hat insights for this, please tell us :-)

@Pit-Storm Curl with an iPhone user agent returns this data: https://pastebin.com/gHyh9V8C

The key "versionHistory" includes the release notes.

Note: You can also add the &cc= parameter to the URL for the country code (ex: &cc=de for Germany).

Here's another method that worked for me: https://github.com/RSS-Bridge/rss-bridge/blob/master/bridges/AppleAppStoreBridge.php
