How do you determine the app store (country) availability of an iOS application given its App ID?

app-store, ios

Solution

A typical App Store URL looks like this: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id494732564

Just replace the "us" with another country code to see if its available in that country, including any localizations. For example, the same app above in German (de): http://itunes.apple.com/de/app/id494732564

Hope this doesn't your definition of "brute force".

Problem

How do you determine the app store (country) availability of an iOS application given its App ID? Some have posted asking a similar question but "inside" an app. I'm looking for the answer "outside" of the app like on a standard browser. I know that a brute force way of doing it is to just parse every country code out there and see if it returns some data, but I'm looking for a way to do it in a more strategic way.
