title: Count iOS App downloads
body: <p><strong>Problem:</strong> <br/> 
  I'm an app developer and my boss asked me how many times one of our iPhone apps was downloaded
  <br/><br/> 
  <strong>What I tried so far:</strong><br/> 
  Apple statistics:<br/>There seem to be only daily or weekly data. Furthermore, there seem to be no way to access download statistics from previous years.
  <br/>
  <br/>
  Services like <a href="http://www.appannie.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">www.appannie.com</a>:<br/>
  This might work, but I don't really want to give them the email and password of our developer account.
  <br/>
  <br/>
  Scraping the data automatically (See: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3682150/automatically-download-sales-reports-from-itunes-connect">automatically-download-sales-reports-from-itunes-connect</a>):<br/>
  I don't really want to spend time to set up and maintain such a system unless there is really no other solution.</p>
  
  <p><strong>My Question:</strong><br/>
  Is there a better way? How do other developer find out how many times their app was downloaded?</p>
