There are many free apk download websites such as apkmirror, today i will tell you how to build a website like apkmirror, the programming language i used is node.js, the database i used is mongodb, search engine used is elasticsearch, the web framework i use is eggjs.
Part I analysis apk file and save data
The tool we need is appt, you can install it with sudo apt-get install aapt on ubuntu, the command to analysis apk file is aapt dump badging test.apk, as we need execute the command in node.js script so i use execSync to call the command, the code block is below.
const { execSync } = require('child_process');
const fs = require("fs");
const md5 = require('md5');
const { sleep, getDir } = require('../util');
const analysis = (output) => {
const res = {};
let out = output.toString().replace(/'/g, '');
out = out.split('\n');
let tmp = out[0].split(' ');
res.package = tmp[1].split('=')[1];
res.versionCode = tmp[2].split('=')[1];
res.versionName = tmp[3].split('=')[1];
tmp = out[2].split(':')
if (tmp[0] == 'sdkVersion') {
res.sdkVersion = tmp[1];
}
tmp = out[3].split(':');
if (tmp[0] == 'targetSdkVersion') {
res.targetSdkVersion = tmp[1];
}
tmp = out[out.length - 2].split(':');
if (tmp[0] == 'native-code') {
res.variant = tmp[1].trim().replace(/ /g, '|');
tmp = out[out.length - 6].split(':');
res.screen = tmp[1].trim();
tmp = out[out.length - 4].split(':');
res.locales = tmp[1].trim();
} else {
res.variant = 'noarch';
tmp = out[out.length - 5].split(':');
res.screen = tmp[1].trim();
tmp = out[out.length - 3].split(':');
res.locales = tmp[1].trim();
}
return res;
}
const filters = ['.', '..'];
const run = async () => {
while (true) {
const dirs = fs.readdirSync(getDir('tmp'));
for (const dir of dirs) {
if (!filters.includes(dir)) {
const name = getDir('tmp', dir);
try {
const output = execSync(`/usr/bin/aapt dump badging ${name}`);
const res = analysis(output);
const stats = fs.statSync(name);
res.fileSize = stats.size;
const newName = getDir('apk', `${res.package}_${res.versionCode}_idoras.com.apk`);
const tasks = [];
const url = `https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=${res.package}`;
tasks.push({ _id: md5(url), url, host: 'play.google.com', type: 'detail', package: res.package, done: 0 });
await global.db.collection('tasks').insertMany(tasks, { ordered: false }).catch(() => {});
const one = await global.db.collection('apk').findOne({ _id: res.package }).catch(() => {});
if (one) {
const a = +one.versionCode;
const b = +res.versionCode;
if (b > a) {
await global.db.collection('apk').updateOne({ _id: res.package }, { $set:{ udate: Date.now(), versionCode: res.versionCode, versionName: res.versionName, done: 1 }}).catch(() => {});
}
} else {
await global.db.collection('apk').insertOne({ _id: res.package, versionCode: res.versionCode, versionName: res.versionName, cdate: Date.now(), udate: Date.now(), done: 0, down: 0 }).catch(() => {});
}
res._id = `${res.package}_${res.versionCode}`;
await global.db.collection('variant').insertOne({ ...res, cdate: Date.now() }).catch(() => {});
fs.renameSync(name, newName);
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
fs.unlinkSync(name);
}
}
}
if (dirs.length == 0) {
console.log('no apk files to analysis');
await sleep(60000);
}
}
};
module.exports = run;
The getDir and sleep is util function, you can find the source code below.
const req = require('request');
const path = require('path');
const os = require('os');
const agent = new require('socks-proxy-agent')('socks5://localhost:1080');
let root = '/data';
const options = {
headers: {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/92.0.4515.107 Safari/537.36'
},
timeout: 30000,
encoding: null,
};
if (os.platform() == 'win32') {
options.agent = agent;
root = 'd:/data';
}
const request = req.defaults(options);
const getDir = (...paths) => {
paths.unshift(root);
return path.join(...paths);
};
const sleep = (time) => new Promise((resolve) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve();
}, time);
});
const fetch = (url) => new Promise((resolve) => {
console.log(`down ${url} started`);
request(url, (err, res, body) => {
if (res && res.statusCode === 200) {
console.log(`down ${url} 200`);
resolve(body);
} else {
console.error(`down ${url} ${res && res.statusCode} ${err}`);
if (res && res.statusCode) {
resolve(res.statusCode);
} else {
// ESOCKETTIMEOUT 超时错误返回600
resolve(600);
}
}
});
});
module.exports = { getDir, sleep, fetch };
The main logic is we get basic information from appt, parse the output, get apk id such as com.moonvideo.android.resso, and insert a task to get apk logo and images and brief from play.google.com, i wrote a little crawler framework, each website with one parser bind with the host, every url have a type, each type bind with a function, the play.google.com’s parser code is below.
const { URL } = require('url');
const md5 = require('md5');
const cheerio = require('cheerio');
const slugify = require('slugify');
const resolve = (from, to) => {
const resolvedUrl = new URL(to, new URL(from, 'resolve://'));
if (resolvedUrl.protocol === 'resolve:') {
// `from` is a relative URL.
const { pathname, search, hash } = resolvedUrl;
return pathname + search + hash;
}
return resolvedUrl.toString();
}
const fns = {
detail: async (page) => {
const host = page.host;
try {
const $ = cheerio.load(page.con.toString(), { decodeEntities: false });
const brief = $('div.DWPxHb > span > div:nth-child(1)').html();
const name = $('h1.AHFaub > span').text();
const dev = $('div.qQKdcc > span:nth-child(1) > a').text();
const tag = $('div.qQKdcc > span:nth-child(2) > a').attr('href').split('/')[4];
const images = [];
const tasks = [];
$('button.Q4vdJd > img').each((i, ele) => {
let url = $(ele).attr('src');
if (!url || !url.startsWith('https')) {
url = $(ele).attr('data-src')
}
tasks.push({ _id: md5(url), url, type: 'download', host: (new URL(url)).hostname, done: 0 });
images.push({ _id: md5(url), url });
});
const logourl = $('div.xSyT2c > img').attr('src');
tasks.push({ _id: md5(logourl), url: logourl, type: 'download', host: (new URL(logourl)).hostname, package: page.package, done: 0 });
const res = await global.db.collection('tasks').insertMany(tasks, { ordered: false }).catch(() => {});
res && console.log(`${host}-detail insert ${res.insertedCount} from ${tasks.length} tasks`);
await global.db.collection('apk').updateOne({ _id: page.package }, { $set:{ brief, name, dev, devSlug: slugify(dev), tag, tagSlug: slugify(tag), images, done: 1 } });
return 1;
} catch (err) {
console.error(`${host}-detail parse ${page.url} ${err}`);
return 4;
}
},
run: (page) => {
const fn = fns[page.type];
if (fn) {
return fn(page);
}
console.error(`${page.url} parser not found`);
return 0;
}
};

every apk we analysis with aapt will send one request to play.google.com to get it’s name, brief, developer info, tag, images, i will use these data to show on the website.
now we have the data of apk file, so where to find the apk files? You can download them from idoras or apkmirror or apkpure, also you can write node.js script to download them from website such as idoras.
Next we need index these data with elasticsearch so we can use them later, the code is below.
const { sleep } = require('../util');
const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch');
const getApks = (apks) => {
const res = [];
apks.forEach((apk) => {
if(apk.name) {
const tmp = {};
res.push({ index: { _index: 'apk', _type: '_doc', _id: apk._id } });
tmp.id = apk._id;
tmp.versionCode = apk.versionCode;
tmp.versionName = apk.versionName;
tmp.cdate = apk.cdate;
tmp.udate = apk.udate;
tmp.down = apk.down;
tmp.brief = apk.brief;
tmp.dev = apk.dev;
tmp.devSlug = apk.devSlug;
tmp.name = apk.name;
tmp.tag = apk.tag;
res.push(tmp);
}
});
return res;
};
const run = async () => {
while (true) {
const esclient = new Client({
node: 'http://username:password@ip:9200',
maxRetries: 3,
requestTimeout: 60000
});
const apks = await global.db.collection('apk').find({ done: 1 }).limit(100).toArray().catch((err) => console.error(err));
const tmp = getApks(apks);
if (tmp && tmp.length) {
let res = await esclient.bulk({ refresh: true, body: tmp }).catch((err) => console.error(err));
if (res) {
const ulist = apks.map((apk) => ({ updateOne: { filter: { _id: apk._id }, update: { $set: { done: 6 } }, upsert: false } }));
res = await global.db.collection('apk').bulkWrite(ulist, { ordered: false, w: 1 }).catch(() => {});
res && console.log(`apk:indexer update ${res.modifiedCount} from ${res.matchedCount}`);
}
} else {
console.log('apk:indexer no apk to index');
await sleep(60000);
}
await esclient.close();
}
};
module.exports = run;
Part II build website with eggjs
The template engine i use is nunjucks, also i used some eggjs plugins such egg-elasticsearch2
The logic is easy, at home page we query data from elasticsearch, and render data into nunjucks template, basiclly it’s a list page, also i will cache the hot download apks into ctx.app.hots, refresh it every 30 minutes, and show the hot download apks on the right aside, also the html template support responsive design, it will show perfect on mobile system.

That’s the main code i wrote for the website, leave a comment if you want to know more about my code, at last remember the website address https://idoras.com i built a week ago, and share it with your firends if you find it useful, thanks.
