Is anyone else seeing a sudden outage with the iTunes Search API (https://itunes.apple.com/search) today?
As of this morning (April 16), all my requests to the /search endpoint are returning HTTP 404 Not Found. I've tested across multiple countries (us, gb, fr) and entities (software, iPadSoftware), but they all fail with the same error.
Interestingly, the /lookup endpoint (e.g., https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=[APP_ID]) is still working perfectly fine.
What I've checked so far:
Apple System Status page is "All Green" (as usual).
Tried different IP addresses/regions to rule out local blocking.
Tested simple queries like term=car to rule out specific keyword issues.
Questions:
Are you guys seeing 404s as well, or is it just me?
Has anyone heard of a sudden migration or deprecation notice for this legacy endpoint?
