iTunes Search API -- is there a way to get all apps (iPhone, iPad, Mac) for a certain keyword?

Question

This seems counter-intuitive :

http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html

I was expecting that http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=Avatar+Cameron&media=software&country=FR&limit=15 would return all apps on iTunes, regardless of the specific platform (iPhone, iPad-only, Mac).

However, it does not seem to be the case.

Is there any other way to retrieve both iPhone and iPad apps than requesting entity=software, then entity=iPadSoftware, and merge the results?

Answer 1

You can use a comma to separate the values for entity:

&entity=software,iPadSoftware

Answer 2

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=YOURID&entity=software will give all software results for the YOURID in question (iPhone, iPad, Mac).

You can get YOURID by searching manually for https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=YOURCOMPANY&entity=software and then text searching on the page for "artistId"
