Try the App Store Chart Categories API

Returns every category ID and chart collection accepted by `/appstore/list`, including Games and Magazines & Newspapers subgenres with their parent ID. Collections carry their device platform (`phone`, `pad`, `mac`), chart type (`top_free`, `top_paid`, `top_grossing`, `top`, `new`), and whether the feed currently returns entries.
