SensorTower App Market Scraper

A data collection tool that gathers mobile app market statistics from SensorTower: rankings, downloads, and pricing for the top apps across countries and categories.

A tool for collecting mobile app market data from SensorTower, the industry reference for app store intelligence. It gathers rankings, download counts, pricing, publisher, and release information for the top 100 apps, on both iOS and Android, in several countries and categories, going back 90 days.

Rather than parse web pages, the scraper calls SensorTower’s underlying API endpoints directly, which makes collection faster and far more reliable than HTML scraping. Results land in a JSON dataset by platform and country, and failed requests get logged separately, so gaps in the data are visible and recoverable.

A small tool built for dataset creation, the collection step at the start of any app-market analysis.
