When using contentMetadataLookupUrl to get information for a custom B2B app, the [result] key may be empty.

Request

API: https://uclient-api.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStorePlatform.woa/wa/lookup?version=2&id=1481545259&p=mdm-lockup&caller=MDM&platform=enterprisestore&cc=jp&l=j

Code Block     header: {
        "Content-type": "application/json",
        "Cookie': 'itvt=***"
    }

Response

Code Block {
   "results":{
        ★★★empty!★★★
   },
   "version":2,
   "isAuthenticated":false,
   "meta":{
      "storefront":{
         "id":"143462",
         "cc":"JP"
      },
      "language":{
         "tag":"ja-jp"
      }
   }
}

In some cases, the [result] key can be obtained correctly even in the same app.

Is anyone experiencing the same phenomenon?
Do you know why you can and may not get it?

I have noticed the same. I reported it using feedback assistant but nothing. I found out (by looking at HTTP headers) that some servers returned the info and some servers didn't, requests being sent within few minutes.
