Most App World pages on the web have RSS feeds. Depending on what you are trying to do, you may be able to use those.

No, the apps don't have much in the way of RSS entries of their own AFAIK. You'd have to scrape the HTML. RSS can mainly be used for enumeration.

There IS a way to do it. I know this because when I google my apps, it shows up on some webpages which are obviously bots that copy and paste appworld into their webpages... not sure how they do it but its do-able.
I am not talking abotu Google, I meant websites that show up on Google. And yes it could be from a bot-scan. But if this is possible then it is also possible for a third-party app to 'scan' and show new arrivals etc... whcih might be what OP is looking for
It's called "scraping", and entails analyzing the HTML of the web pages and extracting data from that. It works fine as long as the structure of the web pages doesn't change. Unfortunately it often does change, and that breaks scrapers.
