App Reviews - Python script to retrieve App Store reviews and save them to a CSV file

AppReviews

#!/usr/bin/env python

try:
    # For Python 3.0 and later
    from urllib.request import urlopen
except ImportError:
    # Fall back to Python 2's urllib2
    from urllib2 import urlopen

import json
import time

def getJson(url):
    response = urlopen(url)
    data = str(response.read())
    return json.loads(data)

def getReviews(appID, page=1):
	url = 'https://itunes.apple.com/rss/customerreviews/id=%s/page=%d/sortby=mostrecent/json' % (appID, page)
	data = getJson(url).get('feed')
	if data.get('entry') == None:
		getReviews(appID, page+1)
		return

	for entry in data.get('entry'):
		if entry.get('im:name'): continue
		
		review_id = entry.get('id').get('label')
		title = entry.get('title').get('label')
		author = entry.get('author').get('name').get('label')
		author_url = entry.get('author').get('uri').get('label')
		version = entry.get('im:version').get('label')
		rating = entry.get('im:rating').get('label')
		review = entry.get('content').get('label')	
		vote_count = entry.get('im:voteCount').get('label')

		csvData = [review_id, title.replace('"', '""'), author, author_url, version, rating, review.replace('"', '""'), vote_count]

		print '"'+'","'.join(csvData)+'"'

	getReviews(appID, page+1)

csvTitles = ['review_id', 'title', 'author', 'author_url', 'version', 'rating', 'review', 'vote_count']
print ','.join(csvTitles)
getReviews(<app store id>)

500 is the max Apple stores, you'll need to pull them periodically over time if you want to build up your own dataset of reviews

Hi I'm getting this output:

What's wrong? can someone help?

@dvlmcr69 you should change the country field.

 url = (f'https://itunes.apple.com/------> ru <-------/rss/customerreviews/page={page}/id={app_id}/sortBy=mostRecent/json')

such as us, ko, ru, ca

Does this script have the same purpose as the app_store_scraper library?
I see that the return comes different.
