ranma: If you're using Certbot, you may want to have a look at simp_le (fork by zenhack; the original code by koba is broken and unmaintained).

(On a discussion on unaccessible URLs - talking on Appshopper): Half the time when you come across an app page, it's either 1) Listed, 2) Delisted, or 3) Listed, but upon clicking a link that sends you to their digital store, actually delisted. |

My concurrency settings aren't working properly unfortunately - I set it to 10 threads, but it only processes 1-2 URLs at once after the first 10 URLs - meaning it's very slow (about 400 URLs per hour). |
21:50
🔗
|
iSO |
Appshopper appears to fetch the images directly from their digital store's app page (but not copy and hosted in their own servers), as right-clicking the broken images have a different (older) URL to link images - "http://a1.phobos.apple.com" or "http://a1.phobos.apple.com/us/r1000/038/Purple/5f/04/81/mzl.vjhdzyui.320x480-75.jpg" (the first image). |

What's more interesting on how Appshopper app pages are archived on their website is when clicking on app pages, the URL has a category, followed by a name (I'll talk this particular part later). The result is: http://appshopper.com/reference/the-night-sky |
22:01

iSO |
Funny thing is that you can freely swap the category names! http://appshopper.com/games/the-night-sky |
22:02

The app page doesn't take that altered category name into account that as to the right of the app page, it still says "Reference". |
22:02
🔗
|
iSO |
Fortunately, it only works on valid category names, not http://appshopper.com/ujhgvhjhg/the-night-sky - as it will give you "AppShopper.com: Page Not Found". |
22:18
🔗
|
iSO |
On ID naming scheme: When an app page is archived on Appshopper, to determine the page ID, Appshopper will scan the App name at the time it was found/released and apply it as a name. This link is an example of the ID name and the display name matched (a quirk is that it ignores capital letters): http://appshopper.com/games/gems |

However, if there's another app named "Gems", or something extremely similar (as it ignores anything that's not alphabet letters, numbers, languages in a different language [that is a LOT more harder to manually dig around if you don't know the language well!], and bizzare character letters like the Roman number 2 and not just "II" [arguably even harder!

If that app is submitted with that current name on release (and not as a changed name), the ID name would've been "the-gems-fever-and-the-miners-path-panic-retrogaming-8-bits-pixel-art" (ignores " ' ", and "!", replaces " " with "-") |

Appshopper seems to have a limiter, when I opened 15-20 links at once there. |

But it's still random. |
23:33
🔗
|
JAA |
Yeah, that's often the case, especially for pages which weren't archived through a browser. |
23:33
🔗
|
iSO |
I have other archive project ideas, but that probably requires specialized tools or something that doesn't use Archive Warrior. |
23:34
🔗
|
iSO |
I know there were attempts that when archiving pages, 1 or 2 images/GIFs are not archived, but sometimes it's just all of them. |
23:35
🔗
|
JAA |
Regarding the future, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a script which scrapes http://appshopper.com/all/ and archives the corresponding pages continuously (directly, not through the Wayback Machine). |
23:35
🔗
|
iSO |
That has a page limit of 500. |
23:36
🔗
|
iSO |
Can be narrowed further with only new http://appshopper.com/all/new |
23:36
🔗
|
iSO |
Or price changes: http://appshopper.com/all/prices |
23:37
🔗
|
iSO |
Thing is, those types of pages, that attempt to emcompass all the pages they archived, that's only partial. |
23:37
🔗
|
JAA |
Yeah, but if you do it continuously, that's not really a problem. You'd just grab it often enough. |
23:38
🔗
|
iSO |
You have to grab links from the categories, that's where truly all of the recorded entries of that specific entry are there. |
23:38
🔗
|
JAA |
Yeah, the initial grab would need to work differently. I was just talking about keeping up with updates. |
23:38
🔗
|
iSO |
That's also because there's a delay on how long it'll appear on Appshopper after the app shows up in the digital store. |
23:39
🔗
|
iSO |
Ah~ |
23:39
🔗
|
JAA |
Also, I can definitely go further than 500 on /all. http://appshopper.com/all/50 for example. |
23:39
🔗
|
JAA |
(Which should show items 981 to 1000) |
23:40
🔗
|
JAA |
Ah wait, you meant 500 pages. Nevermind. |
23:40
🔗
|
iSO |
Yes, that's the max sadly. |
23:40
🔗
|
iSO |
Past that pt, and it's considered gone forever, unless there's a price change, or an update. |
23:41
🔗
|
JAA |
As of right now, the 10000th entry (last on page 500) was updated 3 days ago. So fetching /all every day would easily be enough. |
23:41
🔗
|
iSO |
Unless you search it on their website. |
23:41
🔗
|
iSO |
If to fetch all, there's going to be constant duplicates, and that's a waste of time and energy. |
23:42
🔗
|
iSO |
I would recommend doing new if to find the new ones. |
23:42
🔗
|
iSO |
"All" emcompasses new apps, updates, and price changes (doesn't show delistings at all). |
23:43
🔗
|
JAA |
Oh. Yeah, I guess delistings would be a bit more complicated |
23:43
🔗
|
JAA |
Maybe a periodic grab of the entire site would be easier then. |
23:43
🔗
|
iSO |
When searching in Appshopper with keywords, it can only grab up to 50 pages. |
23:43
🔗
|
JAA |
Although that might obviously miss some updates etc. |
23:43
🔗
|
iSO |
Every 2 days I would be good. |
23:43
🔗
|
iSO |
*it would |
23:44
🔗
|
iSO |
Of course, in my POV, I'm talking about the Games category. |
23:44
🔗
|
JAA |
You mean every app page every two days? |
23:44
🔗
|
iSO |
Uh, I was thinking when checking the app list. |
23:45
🔗
|
iSO |
Every app? That would be overkill~ |
23:45
🔗
|
iSO |
Well, then again, there are actually updates that are 1 day apart. |
23:45
🔗
|
iSO |
I don't remember if it applies on the same day. |
23:46
🔗
|
JAA |
Yeah, the website isn't very verbose about how the whole thing is working. |
23:46
🔗
|
JAA |
I also wasn't able to find any ToS. |
23:47
🔗
|
iSO |
Not even at the bottom of the page? |
23:47
🔗
|
iSO |
Ugh, I still hate this new layout Appshopper put out, it's slower. |
23:47
🔗
|
iSO |
Slower for me to shift info. |
23:48
🔗
|
iSO |
I have to manually click "Show More" to see the full description, and I have to wait for the animation to scroll in-between images. |
23:48
🔗
|
JAA |
Nope, very minimal "about" page, a contact link, some links for copyright owners wanting to whine, but no ToS. |
23:48
🔗
|
iSO |
Just damn slow when comparing to the previous layout. |
23:49
🔗
|
bwn |
iSO: this site doesn't seem particularly large, you could possibly run it through grab-site or wpull and get a good initial grab? |
23:49
🔗
|
iSO |
Wait, 3 million pages isn't considered large? |
23:49
🔗
|
JAA |
It would probably need a nudge or two because the category pages are hidden behind a <select>. |
23:50
🔗
|
JAA |
Well, I'd say it's large but not huge. |
23:50
🔗
|
iSO |
Ah. |
23:52
🔗
|
bwn |
JAA: hm, grab-site sees the category pages |
23:53
🔗
|
iSO |
Sigh, all the crappy iOS games, not the F2P ones, that's another league of questionable, it's those games that just change the graphics and change nothing else type of deals. |
23:53
🔗
|
bwn |
iSO: both grab-site and wpull will take lists of urls for your delisted apps, you'd just need to assemble them |
23:54
🔗
|
iSO |
Another monkey wrench on delisted apps is that there are some of them that do come back, but I'm not sure if that's recorded by Appshopper (unless an update counts). |
23:54
🔗
|
iSO |
Coming back in the same ID name. |
23:55
🔗
|
iSO |
Or a price change counts as well. |
23:55
🔗
|
JAA |
bwn: Interesting. Any clue how it finds them? I don't see a link anywhere. |
23:56
🔗
|
iSO |
It's probably fetching directly from the digital store website. |
23:56
🔗
|
iSO |
Hang on, |
23:56
🔗
|
iSO |
I think I recall a full list on the Apple App Store. |
23:58
🔗
|
iSO |
I know it's there, I came across it accidentally a couple of times. |
