LRiTunesAppleSearchClient

Current Version 0.1

Intro

This is a helper utility that should simplify searching Apple iTunes database for various items.

This wrapper and parser based on the information published by apple at: https://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html

The networking heavy loading is done using AFNetworking 2.0. All the rest will be done without use of any external libraries.

Integration:

Currently integration conculdes of the following:

1. Add AFNetworking to the project (Preferably by using CocoaPods) - Version 2.0 or above.
2. Add files from the LRiTunesAppleSearchClientClasses to the project.

A sample object is attached. Make sure to run pos install in order to get AFNetworking and the demo project up and running.

Structure

Currently consists of:

• LRiTunesAppleSearchClient - Main search client class.
• LRAppleSearchResultItem - Search item object.

Future Goals:

1. Finish the project
2. Have a nice sample app based on a simple search form and table view.
3. Build a CocoaPod

Do Note:

1. This project is currently under work and will take time until the first version will be ready.
2. Since Apple doesn't publish changes to the API in an orderly manner - this will be provided - as is - with no guarantee that it will continuously work.

Current Project state:

Implemented:

1. Search by term
2. Search Item with basic fields (as published by Apple)

TODO:

1. Finish implementing different search options
2. Improve demo project by using a table and some minimally designed cell.
3. Improve search items by adding all those Item specific fields.
