iTunes search API unable to find my podcast which is already submitted to iTunes

I'm trying to find my podcast with the podcast title and iTunes returns nothing. I'm sure that the podcast is available on iTunes because I can use lookup API to get information about that podcast.


Lookup API: https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1497660976&country=tw


Search API: https://itunes.apple.com/search?entity=podcast&term=愛情霓虹燈&country=tw

When you have a query please post the feed URL, not these strange text files. Your feed is at

Your title is 愛情霓虹燈 and I was able to find this in the iTunes Store by searching on it. Your iTunes Store URL is


https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/愛情霓虹燈/id1497660976


Or you can avoid the Chinese characters and use

Hi Roger Wilmut1,


Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't help for my situation.

First, those urls I post are returned by "iTunes APIs" not strange files.

Second, I known that my podcast can be found in iTunes Store, the strange situation is that it can't be found in "iTunes Search API".


Thanks anyway, the problem is solved. I think some data in the search service are not synced earlier.
