Although manually checking the features and details of a top few apps are easy, it won’t give you the necessary insights and big picture. Manually collecting the data is no more a feasible option since the number of apps out there is in millions. This is where web scraping technologies come to the rescue. Web scraping is the technique of programming automated web crawlers to crawl and extract data available on the web. Web scraping can be used to extract any publicly accessible data on the web. The extracted data is stored into a document file that can be later used for analysis.

With our years of expertise in web scraping technologies, PromptCloud can create customized web crawlers that can crawl specific data points related to apps from the stores, like the category, star rating, user review, downloads count, app id and the developer information. Reviews for different versions of the apps can also be extracted separately. The data points extracted is dependent upon the client requirements. The extracted data is provided in popular formats like CSV, XML or JSON which makes it easier to use in your analytics software. With our powerful tech stack and infrastructure specifically built for web scraping, you can safely leave the burden of data acquisition for us to deal with.
