I want to get latest app version information in itunesConnect/App-Store. So may I use itunesconnect api "http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=xyz......" in iOS app. As in apple review guidelines

  1. Scraping and aggregation

12.1. Apps that scrape any information from Apple sites (for example from apple.com, iTunes Store, App Store, iTunes Connect, Apple Developer Programs, etc.) or create rankings using content from Apple sites and services will be rejected.

So this api will only be used at server side or I can also use in iOS app. Please reply.

I think you can use the API in your app code easily because it is not a scraping. It's an official API.

iTunes Connect actually features a JSON API which you can use to change/read almost anything. I collected various API endpoints on a git repo: https://github.com/fastlane/itc-api-docs

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put that into your app, but it's fine to run on your server or local machine.
