I'm trying to find a solution to search for Mac Apps using the iTunes API. My JSON and PHP Scripts are both working on finding iPhone or iPad Apps, but I'm not able to find Mac Apps the last few days.
I normally used this URL to find the iPhone/iPad(universal) App Pages, as well as the Mac App.
https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=software,iPadSoftware,macSoftware&country=de&limit=50&term=Pages
But somehow I can't find the Mac App. If I'm searching only for the Mac App using the following URL, there aren't any results.
https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=macSoftware&country=de&limit=50&term=Pages
Looking at the API description here http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html it should work.
If I search the App directly by its ID, it works also
http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?country=de&id=409201541
And looking at the kind, there you can find "mac-software", but searching for "mac-software" doesn't work as well.
So, please help me finding a URL (like the first one, but working), where Mac Apps displayed as well as iPad or iPhone Apps.
It's kinda broken at the moment. If you force an attribute it'll start finding apps.
https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=macSoftware&country=de&limit=50&term=Pages&attribute=allTrackTerm
Also, if you set media to software along with that. allTrackTerm is no longer available and the only thing you useful you can use is keywordsTerm. Though that has it's own issues
