## What it is
A Node.js library for scraping application data from the iTunes and Mac App Store. It provides methods to retrieve app details, search results, reviews, ratings, and version history.

## Use cases
- scrape app details from the itunes app store
- get app reviews and ratings for ios apps
- search the app store for apps by keyword
- track app version history and release notes
- find similar apps to a given ios app
- monitor competitor app metadata and pricing

## When to choose
- you need programmatic access to iTunes App Store data in Node.js
- you want an API similar to google-play-scraper for cross-store analysis
- you need app reviews, ratings, or version history without official API limits

- your project is not in JavaScript/Node.js
- you cannot tolerate breakage when Apple changes page structures
