apple customerreviews with rss2email (list of countries or app stores)

In iTunesConnect you can open rss feeds for the customer reviews of your app:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/rss/customerreviews/id=123/sortBy=mostRecent/xml
https://itunes.apple.com/de/rss/customerreviews/id=123/sortBy=mostRecent/xml

The top level folder (us/de/..) of the URL changes for each country, the parameter id is the store id of the app. (here 123)

With rss2email you can check the feeds and send an email when somebody posts a review. So far, so good.

My problem is, that in iTunesConnect there are only six countries in the dropdown, where somebody has actually posted a review. But I cannot find out, what other country codes (us/de/..) there are, so I will miss reviews from other countries.

I have tried parsing possible codes from this page and got 73 two character codes:

http://www.apple.com/choose-your-country/

But this has resulted in most reviews triggering up to five emails and I don't see, which country codes have caused them or if there might be stores with codes longer than two characters.

Does anyone maybe know, how/where to get a list of all valid countries/appstores without those causing duplicates?

edit: i could not add tags for "rss2email" and "customerreviews" ..

Solution

  • You can use the country list of the Country dropdown input list of the following url:

    http://itunes.apple.com/rss/
