Itunes search API won't show existing app info

Hello.


My project uses Itunes Search APi to show application info and i got really strange behaviour


Example:

Web interface show app page https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pokerstars.net-free-poker/id606944207

But api lookup results are empty https://itunes.apple.com/ru/lookup?id=606944207


Same behaviour for several apps:

https://itunes.apple.com/app/id980632193

https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/taichi-panda/id944892716


Is this an API bug or caching issue of sone sort or am I doing something wrong?

Not all apps are available in all countries. For the poker app it's in the US store so your first URL finds it, but the second URL is looking for it in the Russian store (you have '/ru' in the address) and the app isn't in the Russian store so it doesn't find it (either the developer hasn't granted Apple a license to sell it there or Russian laws aren't allowing it). Changing that URL to be for the US store does find it : https://itunes.apple.com/us/lookup?id=606944207
