How to get the iOS app Apple ID from a Bundle ID?

Question

If I have the Bundle ID of an app, is it possible to programmatically get the Apple ID? eg. the xxx part in this url: http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=xxx

Using the lookup url above, it is possible to do the reverse: get the bundle id given an app's apple id.

I'm ultimately looking to programmatically get the icon of an app, but I only know the Bundle ID of the apps. any help is appreciated.

This is actually remarkably easy and can be done programatically by simply changing the parameter of my original query from 'id' to 'bundleID'

eg. http://itunes.apple.com/lookup?bundleId=xxx

The response will be a JSON object with the results that will include the thumbnail url among other things. eg.

{
  "resultCount":1,
  "results": [
    {
      "screenshotUrls":[...], 
      "ipadScreenshotUrls":[...],
      "artworkUrl512":"...",
      "artistViewUrl":"...", 
      "artworkUrl60":"...",
      "artworkUrl100":"...", 
      ...
    }
  ]
}
