1 Apprank

This project is a webtool that will display the ranks of several apps on the appstore. You can input search keywords that will later trigger searches on the google playstore. the results of these searches will display the apps associated with the search keys in a ranked order. The rank will be saved so it can be determined how the rank of an app chnages over time.

2 Structure

It is a flask websites and i beleve it is a typycal flask directory structure. However lets describe them anyway: /alembic version controll for the database /assets thins like css, javascript and images /cronscripts this is a bit special, it are the cronscripts that will scrape the playstore etc /dist the html templates /lib additional python classes in the form of libs (now sure if it is typylal flask structure) /tools handy python tools to fake a database, clean the db etc (also not a typical flask structure) /translations

3.5 Things used

3 How to run it

This software depends on pipenv how one does pipenv one can find here: pipenv

Befor you can run this app in full and not in demo or developer mode you need to provide the SECRETS that are present in the config file. you need google oauth2 api for this and to generate the google oauth2 info.

I suggest you make a run.sh file with the example contents as follows:

` export FLASK_APP=app export FLASK_ENV=development export SECRETKEY='???????' export SECRETPASS='='???????'' export CLIENTID='='???????'' export CLIENTSECRET='='???????'' export RECAPCHASECRET='='???????'' export RECAPCHASITEKEY='='???????'' export MAILUSERNAME='='???????'' export MAILPASSWORD='='???????''

flask run --host=0.0.0.0 `

make this file executable and run it.

As to run this project in a live environment, well that is a other story for another time.
