问题
Could anyone point me in the right direction for downloading app store statistics from:
-the Apple App Store -The Android Market -the Amazon AppStore
Specifically, I'd like to get the
-average selling price of apps -the top selling apps -the distribution of tablets vs. phones, etc. -total number of apps in store -free vs. paid apps
I've seen some sites like http://148apps.biz/app-store-metrics/
and http://www.appbrain.com/stats/
How do these sites get their data? There must be a way to export the whole app store database as a CSV file, or import it to MySQL and run queries.

It looks like the easiest place that you can do on your own it to parse it out of the itunes app store pages. I found this blog/article that sheds more light on the problem,
http://mobileorchard.com/app-store-data-mining-techniques-revealed-part-1/
I think it should start you in the right direction.

You can check the GitHub repo APK_scraping. There is a python3 script for retrieving top-selling free Apps, of different catégories, from Google Play Store.
Hopefully it will be helpful

You can find that data you mentioned, already summarized, at these links:
- https://42matters.com/stats
- https://42matters.com/top-charts-explorer
If you want to access app data and statistics, the quickest way is via 42matters APIs, which provide insight into Google Play Store, iOS App Store, Amazon Appstore, etc.
For example, the Advanced Query API will work for both Google Play and the iOS App Store. For the Amazon Appstore, you can use the Lookup API.
Hope this helps!
