Get iOS iTunes App Store ID of an app itself?
You way use iTunes Search API to look up your and other apps on the App Store.
Docs: http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html
Example: http://itunes.apple.com/search?media=software&country=us&term=raining%20weather
iTunes may return more then one result, but you can filter results by bundleId
.
trackViewUrl
will contain iTunes URL to your app. trackId
will contain app's ID.
Here is the answer.
- The app requests http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=com.clickgamer.AngryBirds
- Find the
"version": "2.1.0"
and"trackId": 343200656
in the JSON response.
Warning: This API is undocumented, Apple could change it without notice.
