can't get kr rankings.

[berrybar]

• Operating System: windows 10
• Node version: 10.16.0
• google-play-scraper version: 8.0.4

Description:

When I tested in the US and Japan, I was able to get the value. But when I set it to Korea, I couldn't get the value at all. It hasn't been since December 1st in Korea, and it seems to have found a problem. It seems that the Korean Google Play ranking collection url is pointing to the wrong path. Can I get feedback on this?

Example code:

await G.list({
            category: G.category.GAME,
            collection: collection,
            num: 200,
            lang: 'ko',
            country: 'kr',
            throttle: 10
        })

Error message:

Error: The collection topgrossing is invalid for the given category, top apps or new apps

What I found in the region kr, hk and tw, app detail page layout upgrade to the new version. The lib's parse function should be updated so.

I agree with that opinion.

I also encountered this problem. How did you solve it? Please tell me

我在kr、hk和tw地区发现，app详情页布局升级到新版本。lib的解析 我也出现了这个问题，你是怎么解决的，麻烦告知一下

I use the dev branch code locally, but I found that the app store can't get information in Kr, HK and tw

I also have this problem. How did you solve it? Please tell me

Looks like google completely changed the kr store as @ansoncen pointed out. The URL used by the lib is redirecting to /apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/top/category/GAME/?hl=ko&gl=kr

I'm not sure if this new store version has the top or new URL anymore.

Apparently, it does have some way to get the top/new apps, but differently than we do today: https://play.google.com/store/apps/category/GAME?hl=ko&gl=kr

@icarcal

There is still no way to solve this problem, right? Now apps in Kr and other countries can't get useful information

I have raised a concern that google may sooner or later apply the new store to all the regions.

Yes i think that's very likely. Ideally we'd have support for both and switch when they do, but I don't have the bandwidth to start working on the new scraper at the moment.

[ansoncen]

Any updates on this? I found all the play store page has been updated to the new layout, while the API still works for the time. I found some browsers still can open the old version (could be the A/B test), this might be the reason the API still works for now.

[facundoolano]

can you check if this still happens with the latest version?

The mall under th (Thailand) has no data

你能检查一下最新版本是否仍然发生这种情况？
