Well if the site you're wanting data from doesn't offer an api, than you're left doing it a more manual way. You either have to scrape the data from the site that has it, or parse something like a rss feed if available.

You could try using an rss feed like so: https://rss.itunes.apple.com/us/?urlDesc=%2Fgenerator

Us a cron job to get a new copy every 24 hours, and parse the data to display on your site. You could also just straight up build a web scraper to harvest the data from the app store page as well.
