App Store Icon Downloader

Setup

First, you need to create your own Google Programmable Search Engine (CSE) API and the API key to access it.

Using a custom search engine can help narrowing the result to only the App Store.

To create the search engine, open this link

• Fill apps.apple.com in the "Sites to search" section
• Language can be any
• Name your search engine

Save the Search engine ID.

Next, create a new project in Google Cloud Platform

Go to Marketplace and enable Custom Search API for this project.

Go to API and service

Click on Create credential -> Create API key. This is the API key we want to use.

Finally, create .env and fill as follows

CSE_ID='<CSE ID>'
API_KEY='<API Key>'
