Getting iTunes artwork for an application

Question

Is it possible (through some API) to get the artwork of an application given its iTunes id? For example for four square: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/foursquare/id306934924?mt=8

I'd like to get the link for the main Artwork of fourSquare shown on the left.

Answer 1

To elaborate on the first answer, you do a lookup on the id. Just add the iTunes ID to the end of this query and tweak the country code if you are looking for a different storefront.

http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?country=us&id=

eg

http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?country=us&id=306934924

From the JSON results you need to dig out the "screenshotUrls".

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Well, yes. Be an iTunes Affiliate and use their SDK.
