EFF has published apkeep, a utility for downloading APK packages from Google Play and its mirrors

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) created the apkeep application to download packages for the Android platform from various sources. By default, apps are downloaded from ApkPure, a site that contains copies of apps from Google Play, because there is no need to authenticate. Direct download from Google Play is also supported, but for this you need to specify login data (the password is passed open as arguments, which creates the risk of it leaking through the buffer with the history of operations on the command line). There is support for multi-threaded bulk download with the transfer of a list of downloadable packages in a file in CSV format. The program is written in Rust and distributed under the MIT license. apkeep -a com.instagram.android . apkeep -a com.instagram.android -d GooglePlay -u '[email protected]'-psomepass .
