Description

Google Play shows "1,000,000,000+". The exact counter sits behind that band, and Google overwrites it every day. AppCurves reads it every night for every app on a Play chart — 203 markets, 54 categories, Top Free, Paid and Grossing — and keeps every reading. Free, no account.

Could you build this?

Partial The front-facing analytics UI and charts are standard, but reliably scraping hidden Google Play internal protobuf/API responses across 203 regions daily requires specialized anti-bot bypass infra.

What it would actually take: Requires a distributed scraping pipeline (Python/Go, Celery, residential proxy rotators) interacting directly with Google Play's internal gRPC/Protobuf endpoints across 203 country codes. The challenging component is bypassing Google's strict device attestation, CAPTCHA rate limits, and IP blocks while storing time-series installation numbers across millions of app ranks.
