I would like to search for an app in the apples app store in a webbrowser, if this is possible. I know it is possible by installing Itunes, but I don't like to do that and I hope, that it is not needed to do a simple search for an App. This way I could send a link of an URL to someone to show the app.
Is this possible? In GooglePlay it is so simple and intuitiv, but in the MAC-World I am lost again with such a simple request.
I know, that the app exists, because I wrote it myself and I can find it with the "App Store" – App on my IPad, so I am sure it exists.
Would be happy if someone would guide me to this search-feature, if it exists.

iTunes has a search API as documented here, you don't need to use Google. To search for apps only, set
entitytosoftware. If you want to call this from your website via JavaScript, you'll probably also need to setcallbackto something appropriate.Here is an example search URL which will return results for apps with "myApp"
https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=MyApp&entity=software
