iTunes Search API

Hello,


I have a question about the public API - https://itunes.apple.com/lookup/id


I am using the API to get details about applications my company have.

Some of the app-ids return a response, for example https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1076883986

But some of our other app-ids return an empty response, for example https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1160657060. Although I see that it is live at https://itunes.apple.com/no/app/tussa/id1160657060?mt=8

{

«resultCount»:0,

«result»: []

}


Have anyone experienced something similar and found a good solution to this?


I have found a alternativ method to get data about these apps with https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=tussa+enoro&country=no&entity=software

Is this a good method? I feel this is more vulnerable because of alle the parameters I have to send in to get the same response.

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1160657060&country=no (with the country parameter) works for me. It appears that if an app is not available in the US app store, you must specify a country that the app is available in.

I was having issues with bundleID lookups for new apps not working for awhile, but adding &country=US not only returned results, but seemed to have fixed or cached something such that the original query works now, as well.
