Sites like http://www.apptism.com/ readout the app store automatically and display information like title, description, price and images. Where do I find the documentation for this (iTunes API?). I tried to google it but no good result.

A: 

try to use - rss feeds of apple.

Say for example, I am giving you a link of top applications of iPhone.

As far as I know, there is no API. It's intended for RSS readers. Your best bet is to read through the XML and work out the structure yourself.

This custom RSS-maker will give you an idea about it

http://ax.itunes.apple.com/rss

With this RSS feed you can only readout the first 300 applications of a category. It's a good idea, but you cannot readout all applications of the app store with this method. Is there another way?

The Search API can be found at http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation.html
