`apkeep` - A command-line tool for downloading APK files from various sources

Usage

See USAGE.

Examples

The simplest example is to download a single APK to the current directory:

shell apkeep -a com.instagram.android .

This downloads from the default source, APKPure, which does not require credentials. To download directly from the google play store:

shell apk-downloader -a com.instagram.android -d GooglePlay -u 'someone@gmail.com' -p somepass .

Refer to USAGE to download multiple APKs in a single run.

Specify a CSV file or individual app ID

You can either specify a CSV file which lists the apps to download, or an individual app ID. If you specify a CSV file and the app ID is not specified by the first column, you'll have to use the --field option as well. If you have a simple file with one app ID per line, you can just treat it as a CSV with a single field.

Download Sources

You can use this tool to download from a few distinct sources.

The Google Play Store, given a username and password
APKPure, a third-party site hosting APKs available on the Play Store

Usage Note

Users should not use app lists or choose so many parallel APK fetches as to place unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the infrastructure of the app distributor.
