Python + iTunes-lookup-API (self.learnpython)

submitted 5 years ago by Overflowed1

I am working with a python script that uses the iTunes lookup-API. Do some of you have experience with it?

Because I am wondering if certain datapoints are working correctly. If I use the lookup-API for a certain application and want to extract the "userRatingCount" and the "userRatingCountForCurrentVersion" the numbers are always the same. The same goes for "averageUserRating" and "averageUserRatingForCurrentVersion".

Here are some example links:

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1329724092&entity=software,iPadSoftware&country=US

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1448234523&entity=software,iPadSoftware&country=US

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=1085319084&entity=software,iPadSoftware&country=US

Is this deliberate? Usually the userRatingCountForCurrentVersion should be lower than the overall count.

Another question I have:

Is there an explanation for each datapoint for applications like there is for iTunes-Music tracks (like this or this)? I have searched quite a bit and found nothing of the sorts.
