Connecting to apple playstore & google playstore to extract data

[sushantk19]

Hello,

has anyone been able to successfully extract the data apple app store & google playstore using talend studio components? if yes, can you please share the design?

First of all, yes you can do this. You can interact with ANY system using APIs using Talend. The Google playstore will use OAuth 2 for your credentials and authentication. The Apple one does not make this clear by naming it, but it looks pretty much the same. Once you have this sorted, then it is simply a case of experimenting with the APIs that are within your scopes for those environments.

I demonstrated an OAuth authentication process using using Fitbit with Talend in a video podcast shown here.....

You can download the job to explore it here....

@Richard Hall​ : I am not able to see any components of job when i try to import the job from the above mentioned link. Can you please share the job import once again so that i can check?

You will need to be using Talend Open Studio ESB v8 for this. I built it using that version and it is not backwards compatible.

We use talend studio v 7.3. it does not work on that. Can you share your job design with some screenshots for this? how do we pass URL? which talend componets do we use and its property settings?

[sushantk19]

any other method we can achieve this?

If you download Talend Open Studio ESB v8 from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/talendesb/ you can run it side by side your v7.3 instance. You can then replicate the job with access to all of the config settings.

This is just as a guide as to how to deal with OAuth 2 authentication for Google and possibly Apple. I am afraid that we do not support third party software and while some people may have ideas on how they have done it, it is best to get an understanding of the tools you are wanting to use.

@Richard Hall​ : do you how to generate the bearer token for accesing apple istore or google playstore? also, if possible can you pls share your job design as i am not able to access your code in ESB V8

Hi @Sushant Kapoor​ ,

I am afraid I have never used the Apple iStore like this. The API docs for this should provide examples of how to do this. They are not always the clearest descriptions of how to do this (or consistent with other guides....different providers always do it differently) but you should be able to follow it if you are going to be able to make use of the rest of application's APIs.

I am afraid I do not have the capacity to do this to work it out. I have to focus on Talend questions. Maybe an Apple forum would be able to help you get past this hurdle.

With regard to the demo job, what is stopping you from accessing the code? Is there a problem with the download?
