App Review Scraper

Bare bones script for noticing changes (i.e., new reviews) in the reviews associated with an Android app at Google or Amazon.

This is meant to be run from a cron job once a day or so, to inform you of new reviews. Currently it shouts about any change, and is not tested on apps with lots of reviews.

Usage

Edit the AMAZON_REVIEWS_URL and/or GOOGLE_PROD_URL at the top of main.py.

Edit the _configFilePath directory.

Edit the main method to add the sites to the save file (change 'False' to 'True'). Run main.py once to initialize the save file.

Setup a cron entry to run main.py (or use the review-scraper.sh wrapper).

TODO

  • Remove hardcoded config path (default to current directory?)
  • Add command-line options (--config, --addsite, --verbose)
  • Test on apps with more than 2 reviews (pages of reviews? Sort by date?)
  • Better summary of what has changed.
  • Move hard-coded Bititoc URLs to documentation
  • Add some doc
