how to get top new free list ?

Open bellaly20 opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

the project can't return top new free lists any more and appbrain still provide this information https://www.appbrain.com/stats/google-play-rankings/top_new_free/art_design/us

so how we can get the top new free list directly from google ?

@bellaly20 google seems to be removed the new apps per category url, for example https://play.google.com/store/apps/new/category/AUTO_AND_VEHICLES or https://play.google.com/store/apps/new/category/LIFESTYLE

I couldn't find another url where we can fetch this data. If anyone figure the urls, I'll be glad to implement.

Going to take a better look into this.

I contact appbrain to ask them about the source from which they get the op new free : and This was their response

Yes Google removed almost all places where you can see that ranking, but the server responses for old Google Play apps still exists. We decided to keep showing this data because it's interesting, even if most Android users won't use it to actually find apps anymore.

you have any idea how can this response help us to get top new free list ?
