Bring back search by app-id

[luisadnsaavedra]

Description

I know that downloads can be initiated with the --app-id parameter, but search used to work using the id as well e.g. ipatool search 310633997 would return WhatsApp and all its information as the first result. It now gives no result. Can this be changed by either including the --app-id parameter for search or including it as part of the normal search again? Thanks for all the work on this tool

I don't think this was ever removed. It's most likely that the iTunes API stopped returning results based on the App ID being supplied in the search term. You can use the iTunes API directly to achieve what you are looking for:

$ echo 310633997 | awk '{print "https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id="$1}' | xargs curl -s | jq -r '.results'
