I wasn't thinking of limiting it to only free apps, but I'm not sure I have the time to do a good job of collecting the payment information and displaying, so at this point I'm only considering download, install, category and index information. BUT... I'm always open to expanding it later..

Sounds good. Please drop me a note when you have this ready or are looking for beta- testers. Time allowing, I might even be able to help with some of the implementation, if you are interested in sharing the code. Feel free to contact me directly by email; I don't always watch this newsgroup too

@String I use mopapp.com for reporting purposes, great tool, they are in beta. Today I did a quick data validation vs Checkout and it seems they overstate figures a bit, we're investigating it. @Brad Are you thinking about a tool for free apps only? Cheers, Tom On Nov 7, 5:44 pm, String

That sounds like a real possibility. (I'm curious, though: What's the advantage of writing it on the phone, instead of as a desktop Java app? Are the SDKs more available on the phone, or is it just a matter of your being more familiar with the dev env?) David On Nov 3, 6:32 pm, Brad Gies

By doing it on the phone, I can update some of your market stats at the same time using the your phone settings, and because I don't have an unlimited number of phones or Google accounts it will make sure my account doesn't get banned for making too many queries. For instance, I keep track

David, I came up with an interesting thought about this last night (yeah... about 2 in the morning... :), and that is that I could program an Android app to pull the data from the market. That way you could store the login credentials on your own phone. The app could have a daily

To be frank, your site would need to establish a REALLY strong reputation for trustworthiness before we could consider trusting it with our Market login credentials. They are too tightly coupled with customer, billing and credit card info. But, if I needed to login in to your webpage manually

Well.. at least you understand the problem of creating something to do it :) I would like to do it, but I just haven't come up with a way to do it that would be acceptable to enough developers to make it worthwhile, so for now, I use it only for myself. I have looked into OAuth which means

Thanks. In what ways have you found the numbers to be untrustworthy? Are the numbers exposed via the API any different? Also, can you point me to the API you recommend? A quick search just now found several unofficial APIs, but no official support. Thanks, David On Oct 28, 5:50 pm, TreKing

David, I'm in the process of developing a website that collects market statistics and developer statistics, and one of the features I'm adding is a utility to collect my own market download numbers daily so I can put them into a spreadsheet and chart/graph them so I can easily spot trends.
