title: Scraping the mac app store
body: <p>I've been wondering if this is possible? I know Apple has made it hard, but is it really impossible?</p>
  
  <p>All the apps have an id, which you can use to find the website for the app - <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clear/id504544917" rel="nofollow">https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/clear/id504544917</a> - but I can't seem to figure out how to get a list of these id's. Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>All the apps are listed in the Mac App store (the app on your mac). Would it be possible to scrape information from there somehow? How would one go about that?</p>
  
  <p>Let me know if this is totally impossible.</p>
