So, I have found this URL that does exactly what I want, or so I believe..

being APP_ID my app's ID in Itunes Connect

itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewContentsUserReviews?pageNumber=0&sortOrdering=1&type=Purple+Software&mt=8&id=APP_ID

Here as I have managed to find out answers on the web, type=Purple+Software is for IPhone Apps and appears like viewContentsUserReviews leads me to the Rate and Review page of the AppStore for my app

What's the question here, there is a shorter version of the string to reach the app on the appStore:

itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/idAPP_ID

This one appears to have several options, such as:

?ls=1
?mt=8
?at=10l6dK

But I have no clue of what those parameters are meant to do (and I wanna know), also, how can I use this shorter version of the string to define my Affiliate Code or Campaign Code of ITunes? How can I use this shorter version to redirect the user directly into the Rate an Review tab, such as the long version does.

So, summing up, What are all the parameters that can be passed into this url API call?

These parameters are used for SEO optimization in the web version starting with http://, so they're unnecessary for App Store iOS links (itms-apps://). By the way, in this case, these parameters are used for:

  • mt=8: content media type (8 = apps, 1 = music, etc. - see reference)
  • ls=1: the URL will try to open in iTunes

Please note that the long URL you specified doesn't work since iOS 7, as answered here.
