## Introduction

## Installation

```

## Usage

#### `search`

Import `search`.

```typescript
import { search } from "itunes-store-api"
```

Invoke it asynchronously and access results in return.

// results: [Result, Result, Result…]
```

#### `lookup`

Import `lookup`.

```typescript
import { lookup } from "itunes-store-api"
```

Invoke it asynchronously using a lookup type (`"id"`, `"isbn"`, `"upc"`, `"url"`, `"amgAlbumId"`, `"amgArtistId"` or `"amgVideoId"`) and access a result in return.

```typescript
const { results } = await lookup("id", 1007596731)

```

##### `"url"`

A variety of store catalog URLs are supported when using the `"url"` lookup type.
