Anyone know how the other app markets such as appbrain.com get developer and app info from Google Play.

I can't imagine some poor guy sitting at a desk all day clicking on app links and entering the information for their site.

Does Google provide this information?
They seem to have all the information including ratings, reviews, and downloads directly from Google Play. Some even have the APK's available for download directly from their own servers.

They probably have some kind of bot or automated system to copy the app info from Google.
