title: using iTunes lookup with apps that are not on the store yet
body: <p>I am using the URL</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=com.myCompany.myApp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to get a JSON file with the information about my app. This works if the app is already published on the App Store but I am still developing it and the result coming from that URL contains just this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{
   "resultCount":0,
   "results": []
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried to use</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=com.myCompany.myApp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and</p>
  
  <pre><code>https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=com.myCompany.myApp
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and I receive</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Http/1.1 Service Unavailable</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Any ideas?</p>
