Setup

After installing the iTunes plugin, it’s possible to display a list of song results by adding a repeating group to your application page.

When configuring the repeating group, set the type of content to be ‘iTunes Song’. Then, for the data source, use the ‘get data from external API’ option.

The API provider you’ll need to select is the ‘Get iTunes songs’ choice.

Now, you can match a search term with any static or dynamic text value.

From here, it’s possible to add a list of dynamic elements into the repeating group’s cell.

Simply choose the ‘current cell’s iTunes songs’ operator to display the results of a search query.
