Does an API for searching for Windows 8 App updates exist

Question

Microsft provide and API for interfacing with Windows Update through Windows Update Agent API. They also provide an API for managing installing, updating and uninstalling App packages through the Windows.Management.Deployment namespace.

Updating an app requires you to have the URI of the update, unfortunately I can't figure out how to search for Windows Store updates programatically rather than though the Store application.

Answer 1

I found the solution thanks to this blog post - Search updates using the Windows Store.
