The App Store for iOS and Mac is a great place to find new apps for your Apple devices, but its search algorithms aren't the best. ITunes doesn't have advanced search features, and many people don.
This seems counter-intuitive :
I was expecting that http://itunes.apple.com/search?term=Avatar+Cameron&media=software&country=FR&limit=15 would return all apps on iTunes, regardless of the specific platform (iPhone, iPad-only, Mac).
However, it does not seem to be the case.
Is there any other way to retrieve both iPhone and iPad apps than requesting entity=software, then entity=iPadSoftware, and merge the results?

You can use a comma to separate the values for entity:

https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=YOURID&entity=software will give all software results for the YOURID in question (iPhone, iPad, Mac).
You can get YOURID by searching manually for https://itunes.apple.com/search?term=YOURCOMPANY&entity=software and then text searching on the page for 'artistId'
SG1SG1To expand on the answer from @halmstrz, you can also return results from the Mac App Store via the following addition to &entity:

leave off the 'entity=software' and you get iPhone results (I know it doesn't seem like you would, it seems like you'd get a mix of all 3)
then do it with 'entity=iPadSoftware' and you get the iPad results
I do 2 separate cURLs, and then use the results of both.
