How do I get apps no older than a certain version?

I have an old ipad with IOS 6.0
. It is no longer possible to update it, but it works.
The problem with finding applications compatible with the "old man" in the app store.
You have to poke, get a whack, move on, after some time a compatible application is found.

The question is, is it possible to somehow sort all applications on the appstore that are not older than a certain version?
So that I can already see on my computer which application I need to install. And I will find it through the search and put it.

Here are some lines in python.
We pull out old applications from the appstore that were released before 2012 and contain the words
puzzle

import requests
from dateutil.parser import parse

SEARCH = 'puzzle'
YEAR = 2012

url = f'https://itunes.apple.com/search?term={SEARCH}&limit=10000&media=software'
res = requests.get(url).json()
for item in res.get('results'):
    date_release = item.get('currentVersionReleaseDate')
    dt = parse(date_release)
    if YEAR >= dt.year:
        print(item.get('trackViewUrl'))
