Obtain URL from Android Market Application

I was wondering if it's possible to obtain the URL from Android Market applications. For example, I'd like to to know the URL of the Facebook application on Android market, the result I'd like to have is something like this.

http://android-es.com/repo/apk/social/facebook.apk

Any suggestions?

market://details?id=package-name

This will take you to the detail page. Saves another touch at the search result.

You can create a link that will open the Market page for the app when clicked on a phone with:

market://search?q=pname:<package-name-here>

in the case of facebook the package name is com.facebook.katana...so:

market://search?q=pname:com.facebook.katana

should do it :]

That's not possible. The only way to get a market released apk is to go to the Market or get it off your phone. There's no way to link to it.
