Advanced tools
itunesconnect is node.js module wrapping iTunes Connect Reporting API. It allows to query sales/downloads reports in super easy way.
$ npm install itunesconnect
If you want to have and access to comman-line tool itcreport install itunesconnect globally. See more info about itcreport.
$ npm install itunesconnect -g
$ itcreport --help
There are 2 different report types, ranked and timed.
Ranked report is sorted by number of downloads and it can be filtered and grouped by one of the constants. Ranked report result contains just a number of sales and/or proceeds regardless of time frame. Ranked is also ignoring interval option. Good use case for ranked report is to get summary of sales and/or proceeds in some time period. You can also use filters and group to make your query more advanced.
Timed report result is a little bit more detailed. It's not sorted by number of sales or proceeds. It's embedding objects with number of sales grouped by interval option. You should understand it more looking at the examples below.
It's hard to fuly understand Apple API without documentation so my description might have some errors. I strongly recommend to play with queries and results and try to understand different types. If you also want to improove description feel free to do so.
This example shows how to fetch ranked report data from last 10 days and timed report from last 3 weeks with week interval.
Query:
var itc = require("itunesconnect");
var Report = itc.Report;
// Connect to iTunes
var itunes = new itc.Connect('apple@id.com', 'password');
// Simple ranked report
itunes.request(Report.ranked().time(10, 'days'), function(error, result) {
console.log(result);
});
// Or
itunes.request(Report('timed').time(3, 'weeks').interval('week'), function(error, result) {
console.log(result);
});
Result (ranked):
[
{
"key": 0,
"title": "App Name ",
"rptgDesc": "App",
"contentSpecificTypeId": 1,
"contentSpecificTypeName": "iOS App",
"contentGrpCd": "Apps",
"contentProviderId": 0,
"artistName": "Artist Name",
"contentProviderName": "Provider Name",
"units": 7684
},
{
"key": 0,
"title": "In App Name ...",
"rptgDesc": "In App",
"contentSpecificTypeId": 3,
"contentSpecificTypeName": "Auto-Renewable Subscription",
"contentGrpCd": "Apps",
"contentProviderId": 0,
"contentProviderName": "Provider Name",
"units": 2886
}
...
]
Result (timed):
Default group for timed report is null so it contains just all downloads.
[
{
"data": [
{
"date": "2014-07-14T00:00:00.000Z",
"units": 1234567
},
{

},
{
"date": "2014-08-04T00:00:00.000Z",
"units": 456789
}
]
}
]
Query (timed) grouped by location:
var itc = require("itunesconnect");
var Report = itc.Report;
// Connect to iTunes
var itunes = new itc.Connect('apple@id.com', 'password');
// Or
itunes.request(Report('timed').time(3, 'weeks').interval('week').group('location'), function(error, result) {
console.log(result);
});
Result (timed) grouped by location:

This example shows how to fetch ranked report data from last 2 days, both app sales and in-app sales with one of provided categories, grouped by content and returning both sales and proceeds (Moooooooooney).
Please note that limit property apply just to ranked reports
var itc = require("itunesconnect");
var Report = itc.Report;
// Connect to iTunes
var itunes = new itc.Connect('apple@id.com', 'password');
// More complex query
var query = Report('ranked', {
limit : 100,
filters : {
type: [
itc.type.inapp,
itc.type.app
],
category: [6001,6002,6003]
},
group: 'content', // content is default group for ranked report so you dont have to use it here
measures: [itc.measure.units, itc.measure.proceeds]
}).time(2, 'days');
itunes.request(query, function(error, result) {
console.log(result);
});
Same query in chainable way
var query = Report
.ranked()
.time(2,'days')
.limit(100)
.category([6001,6002,6003])
.group('content')
.type([itc.type.inapp, itc.type.app])
.measures( [itc.measure.units, itc.measure.proceeds]);
Please also reffer to Connect class docs.
Connect(<username>, <password>, [options])
Available options:
options.concurrentRequests = Number
options.errorCallback = Function //function(error) {}
options.loginCallback = Function //function(cookies) {}
options.cookies = Array
If you want to cache login cookies use loginCallback and set cookies option
Please note that cookies have expiration date
var itc = require("itunesconnect");
var options = {
loginCallback: function(cookies) {
redis.set("cache-cookies", cookies);
}
}
redis.get("cache-cookies", function (err, cookies) {
if(!err) options.cookies = cookies;
});
// Connect to iTunes
var itunes = new itc.Connect('apple@id.com', 'password', options);
Please also reffer to Query class docs.
To create new Query class instance please use Report helper functions.

Report.ranked([config])
Report.timed([config])
