Question

Is there any way to get results of next page of a search query? When I give page parameter, I get the same results from ITunes as:

gives the same output. Giving page parameter works for customer reviews.

Is there any way to get the results of next page?

According to API documentation there is no way but I found a lot of useful answers which are not indicated in API documentation.

I found a way to query more records. There is a parameter called offset, which is not mentioned in API documentation.

https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=a&offset=25&limit=25

Enjoy!

Works great when using the search endpoint. Does not work for me for the lookup endpoint :-( – Klaas Mar 21 '19 at 15:24

Is there a way to find out how many pages there are without using trial and error? – IamWarmduscher Sep 12 '21 at 20:20
I see offset having some effect but it behaves weirdly. For example, when using 3500 as the value, the resultCount property in the response body is 45. When I use 3600, it is 50. Does anyone have something similar? – Niels Mouthaan Apr 17 '22 at 16:57

Actually there is no pagination in apple search API. It will only return maximum first 200 records.

Below is reference URL for same:

Thank you.

It may be worth trying out [@Marian Przyszedł](https://stackoverflow.com/users/1593450/marian-przyszed%c5%82) 's [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/a/46707491/2475008). Testing `offset` seems to work for me. – tmr08c Jan 14 '18 at 22:07
