Looks really useful. Some Feedback : I think that a free app sent as a demo would be a great idea, so we can see what it would be like. One other thing, where in the world is this available? I didn't see that listed on the site.

Thanks for the feedback osxrand

We need to really promote the free demos. Currently if you send us a message through our contact form and use the word demo anywhere in the message you will get a free demo. But, if you would like a Demo osxrand just send your email to mac(at)given.to and I'll send you a great song.

At the moment we only offer items from the US Apple App store but will add new countries based on demand.

I was checking this out, but I think the API doc is very light on the authentication part. Can you share specifics about the OAuth part?

@ismaelc Our authentication process is fairly simple in the fact when you sign up for an account you are given a auth_key and auth_secret which then gives you access to make a call request. Very similar to other API's. Our API was built by developers for developers to be very easy to implement and use for a wide range of products.

Is this OAuth? URL parameter keys? etc

Added this to Mashape (left the OAuth part as manual entry). Would you like me to transfer it to you so you can make changes to it in the future? https://www.mashape.com/community/given-to
