How to get in-app or subscription info from server side? - ios

Question

Is it possbile to get In-app (or subscription) information (at least price, currency) for iOS application by bundle id or product id from server side?
I know that iOS clients possible to do it using their SDK.
Maybe exists service like iTunes Lookup API?

Answer 1

In StoreKit you have SKProduct and there you have the price
You can check it here

Answer 2

I think the answer is no, they intend you to fetch the IAPs from within the app. Here is an example of what is returned from the iTunes affiliate search API. AFAIK there is no other API to query app information. They don't mention other ways in their guide to obtaining IAP information.

Answer 3

I found a third-party service which allows do this.
Appfigures. In docs they have the type of product inapp. Service may return price and currency. It looks like that I need.
But need to check it in practice.
If somebody know other service which possible to do that, please, share them. Thanks!
