Overview
--------
The goal of `itunesr` is to help iOS App Developers access iTunes App Store Ratings and Reviews programmatically, since iTunes Connect doesn't provide this data straightforward.
Installation
------------
``` r
# install itunesr directly from CRAN:
install.packages("itunesr")
# the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("amrrs/itunesr")
```
Dependency Packages
------------
* jsonlite
* xml2
* lubridate
* curl
Getting started
---------------
``` r
library(itunesr)
getReviews(368677368,'us',1)
```
```itunesr``` can be loaded just like any other R-package with ```library(itunesr)```.
**Note:** If you're trying this behind a Firewall, you might get:
```Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : Timeout was reached```

Examples
---------------
### Code
```r
library(itunesr)
#Latest (Page 1) Uber Reviews for the Country: US
uber_reviews <- getReviews(368677368,'us',1)
#Displaying the column names
names(uber_reviews)
#Ratings count from the 50 Reviews
table(uber_reviews$Rating)
```
### Output
``` r
> library('itunesr')
> #Latest (Page 1) Uber Reviews for Country: US
> uber_reviews <- getReviews(368677368,'us',1)
> #Displaying the column names
> names(uber_reviews)
[1] "Title" "Author_URL" "Author_Name" "App_Version" "Rating" "Review" "Date"
> #Ratings count from the 50 Reviews
> table(uber_reviews$Rating)
1 2 3 4 5
19 3 7 4 17
```
### Using itunesr output with Tidyverse
``` r
> amazon_reviews <- getReviews("297606951","us",1)
> library(tidyverse)
> amazon_reviews %>% count(Rating)
# A tibble: 5 x 2
Rating n
1 1 25
2 2 8
3 3 9
4 4 4
5 5 4
```
