I need to connect my app from xcode to iTunes to fetching apps details. I will provide a name and then it will return me a result of those apps names which contains the keywords. Then I need to fetch the details from those names, like showing the price, screenshoots, descr
Like, suppose, I want to search by bluetooth from my app which will be build by me, and I will get those apps names by the keyword and the details of those apps as well from objective c??
Sounds like you need to tap into the iTunes Search API:

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleid=1542332918
I tried both, it returned nothing. this is a game in in iTunes.
Try refining your search to the specific country where the app is available:
curl https://itunes.apple.com/cn/lookup?id=1542332918
The question is very simple how to get Apple search ads popularity index for any given keyword?
It's possible since i see a lot of ASO tools provide such metric. But there are not any open API documentation how to get this data.
For getting search popularity index you can also google for chrome extension like „ Apple Search Ads Search Popularity for ASO“
If you want to check your app ranking or get keyword suggestions for different appstore countries you can use this app https://applab.cloud ( I am from Germany and getting insights from US AppStore with this app )
Looks like the only way is to parse searchads.apple.com to get one. Or to use Jailbroken iPhone to create requests and get responses directly from App Store.
I am newbie for iPhone application and I want to create iPhone application based on the website client have. What I want to do is show the Upcoming Courses from this website. Any idea how to do that?
Note that, the table that is there in section Upcoming Courses is static data and this site is created using Joomla. The web-developer do the changes in the Upcoming Courses section on a weekly basis depending on the courses.
Could anyone suggest me right path what needs to be done?
I also tried to search on google and found that RSS need to be created for that section. So I believe if I need to create RSS, then I would have to store this data in database. Isn't it? Is this only one way to deal with it?
My Client says, if they do the update in website, it should also get rectified in iPhone application too.
Look at the example right here:
https://github.com/greenisus/cocoa-rss
If you use Joomla, then you have a database already, of course.
I'm pretty sure that there are some sweet modules for RSS, which you can use.
Then you'd just have to parse them in your app.
There is no such thing as push in RSS, you'd have to consistently check and update your content.
I would like to display in a button or a form some info from the Apple AppStore page related to the App the user is currently running.
e.g. the price in the current country or the reviews summary.
is there any function that can be called via xcode to extract those details without using additional external libraries?
I am referring to Apps that i created , so i have all the IDs...
Thank you
A.
This page should contain the information you need: http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=your_app_id
Their is a built-in iOS API for accessing the prices of in-app-purchase items. Otherwise, you may have to research 3rd pary libraries or send the user to a Safari or App store URL for the information.
I've found a PDF file of Appstore search API, that I can use some parameters to fetch an application's detail information.(sorry I forgot the download url, but I found it in stackoverflow)
But there are so many sites that show you a Top100 list(like appshopper.com), and such as Mobclix.com also provide you the rank information.How can they do that? I didn't find the related API in the PDF file.
I also found an Appstore API by ABTO(http://www.abtollc.com/AppStoreAPI.aspx), but I really wanna do it by myself.
If I clear the 1st question, then I'd like to know the common architecture of building a website based on the appstore data. Do I need a database to cache the appstore's data, and create a batch to fetch the data frequently, execute like once per hour? I think it might not be clever to access the appstore for every user request, and may be there is a access limit of appstore?
Thanks for your help!
You can use the following link to generate a url for querying iTunes Data for things like the top 100 apps in a particular category.
http://itunes.apple.com/rss/generator/
For the top 100 free productivity apps the generated url is
http://ax.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStoreServices.woa/ws/RSS/topfreeapplications/sf=143441/limit=100/genre=6007/xml
The PDF that you link to is very old and hasn't been updated in quite some time, but even if you did get that working, it doesn't have "Top 100" selections (to my knowledge).
1.The way people do to get information from the AppStore is to parse the Xml returned from ITunes web call, and get the information they want. There's no official api release from apple.
You may be right, its more clever to save a copy of app information on your server.
