Dataset Details
This data aims to cover our internal company research needs and start collecting and sharing the macOS app dataset since we have yet to find a suitable existing one. Full application metadata was sourced by the public iTunes search API for the US, Germany, and Ukraine between December 2023 and January 2024.
The data is organized into 43 columns ranging from such essential details as app names, descriptions, and genres, along with release and version information, user ratings, and asset links.
Data Collection and Processing
The data was fetched by querying the iTunes Search API with the request:
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term={term} &country={country}&entity={entity}&genreId=genre &limit={limit}&offset={offset}},
where the term parameter was selected in a way that maximized app types and skipped games; country and offset had to be specified to avoid the API limitations.
The data is provided in its original form without any additional cleaning or transformations. It contains over 87,000 samples and is grouped by the country API and is presented in the corresponding CSV files: metadata-US.csv, metadata-DE.csv, and metadata-UA.csv.
