Availability of a name for an app in the AppStore

Question

Is there a way to check if a name is available in the AppStore with an HTTP request? Without manually creating the App in iTunes Connect?

Answer 1

1. Open iTunes Connect
2. Click 'New App'
3. Fill out language and bundle id (can be anything)
4. Enter desired name & SKU of a previous app you have built
5. Click 'Create'
   
   

The name field will return red if the name has been taken.
