PlayStoreInfo
Get details about any app in the Google Play Store. This gem uses MetaInspector
to scrape the
app's Play Store web page and retrieve the necessary data.
Compatible with ruby >= 2.3.0
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'play_store_info'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
