We’re happy to announce today the release of a few new RSS feeds which provide a way to view activity in the Apple App Store without having to load up iTunes or the App Store on the iPhone yourself. The first two feeds are the most recent stream of new and updated applications added into the App Store updated hourly.
We just started aggregating this data yesterday so the updated application feed is only based off of applications we’ve seen updated since yesterday. This feed will grow as we discover more applications releasing updated versions. The links inside of both of these feeds will take you directly into the App Store. If you’re using NetNewsWire on the iPhone, you’ll need to click “Open in Safari” for it to work. Loading the feed directly in mobile safari and clicking will load the application in the App Store just fine.
Our next two feeds are updated nightly and show the top 100 list of free and paid applications and also their ranking as of when we updated the list the previous day. Like the previous two feeds, clicking the links inside the feeds will take you directly into the App Store.
Just like Pinch Analytics, we are releasing these feeds free of charge and they may be used however you’d like.
