Does AppHub let us see reviews of our apps from all marketplaces at once? As I didn't find any, o took some time writing some code to print them all in a file, so i won't waste my time looking for them in every single language.
I'd appreciate any better solution. In the worst case, I'm glad to share the code with anyone who finds it usefull.
It uses BeautifulSoup. The only parametter is the id of the app, like this:
wp7reviews.py 62289160-6970-4674-85a0-aef3dbe3f93d
Here is the code
import sys
import getopt
from urllib2 import URLError
from urllib2 import HTTPError
import urllib2
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup
opts, extraparams = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], '')
# starts at the second element of argv since the first one is the script name
# extraparms are extra arguments passed after all option/keywords are assigned
# opts is a list containing the pair "option"/"value"
#print 'Opts:',opts
#print 'Extra parameters:',extraparams
try:
appid = extraparams[0]
except:
#Awsome Linkit appid as default appid
appid="62289160-6970-4674-85a0-aef3dbe3f93d"
allreviewsFILE = open("allreviews.txt", "w")
def output(text):
allreviewsFILE.write(text)
#print text,
def outputln(text):
allreviewsFILE.write(text+'\n')
#print text
def geturl(lang):
return "http://catalog.zune.net/v3.2/"+lang+"/apps/"+appid
try:
request = urllib2.Request(geturl("en-us"))
fd = urllib2.urlopen(request)
content = fd.read()
fd.close()
soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(content)
try:
outputln("App title: "+soup.findAll("a:title")[0].string)
outputln("");
except:
print "Failed to get App Title"
langs = ["en-us", "en-gb", "de-de",

outputln("Here we got reviews from each marketplace")
for lang in langs:
request = urllib2.Request(geturl(lang)+"/reviews")
fd = urllib2.urlopen(request)
print "Fetching "+lang+"...",
content = fd.read()
fd.close()
print "OK"
soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(content)
#print soup.prettify()
contents = soup.findAll("a:content")
ratings = soup.findAll("userrating")
l = len(contents)
if l > 0:
outputln("----------- "+lang+" ---------------------------------------------------")
outputln("")
for i in range(0, l):
output(ratings[i].string+"/10 - ")
if len(contents[i].contents) > 0:
try:

else:

outputln("")
