# App Store Rankings Scraper

Copyright © 2011, 2012 Jon Parise <jon@indelible.org>

`apprankings` scrapes App Store rankings from iTunes and writes the results

to a CSV-formatted output file.  It currently queries both the iPhone and iPad

App Stores for the *Paid*, *Free*, and *Top Grossing* lists.  It covers the

*All* and *Games* categories, but it could be further extended and

parameterized to support a much wider range of queries.

This code is released under the terms of the [MIT License][license].
