ITunes Search API lookup id rules

What are the validation rules for ids used to lookup apps in iTunes search API? Through trial and error I have discovered the id has to be an unsigned number that does not exceed long value, but this request returns 400 with error message "Invalid value(s) for key(s): [itunesId]":

https://itunes.apple.com/us/lookup?media=software&entity=software&version=2&country=US&id=3526548784

So there is something more to it?

I am using the API to lookup multiple apps by id at a time (some of which might not exist) and values like this ruin the whole request. So how do I validate my data before?

Unable to review my apple id I'm stuck when entering the billing address when asked to review my apple id. It said: "Postcode may be empty, or for Dublin, please enter a one- or two- digit code, or a digit followed by a letter" I entered my proper Irish eircode and it wasn't valid??? The website mentioned I could leave the postcode box empty, so I did. Then it said I have to fill in the entire form. Without completing my account review, I can't download an app from apple store. Can someone please help me with this bug 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
