About

AppKrakken parses Apple's RSS feeds to retrieve the top 400 apps in various categories for the US market, for a total database of ~40k apps. These feeds are fetched once daily. Individual apps are checked for price changes at the rate of 500/10 minutes using Apple's affiliate API.

A working installation is available at http://appkrakken.heroku.com
