How to Fetch Android Market Data When There Is No API

How to fetch Android Market data when there is no API?

There is a Java project on Google code which attempts to build an open source api for the market: http://code.google.com/p/android-market-api/

There're also some JRuby bindings for it: http://github.com/jberkel/supermarket.

However they both require a Google/Market account, and the API is only partially implemented (searching, comments and images at the moment). Also, the reconstructed protocol buffer descriptor (market.proto) could be used to generate bindings for languages other than Java.

There is an API currently hosted on Google Code. I've made use of it in one of my own apps and I think it works quite well. You are able to access everything that is visible in the market including comments and screenshots.

Getting Data from Android Play Store

There's an unofficial open-source API for the Android Market you may try to use to get the information you need. Hope this helps.
