Google Workspace Marketplace App Search & Category Browser

Pull app listings from the Google Workspace Marketplace, with no Google account, API key, or proxy needed. Search by keyword, browse an entire category, or fetch full details for specific app IDs you already know.

What this actor does

• Keyword search across the whole marketplace, enriched with full listing detail
• Category browsing across 26 categories and subcategories (popular apps, top rated, business tools, productivity, education, and more)
• Direct app lookup by numeric app ID, with no practical limit on how many you can fetch
• Multi-language results — choose the language the listing page is read in
• Fields with no value for a given app (e.g. no reviews yet, unlisted pricing) are omitted rather than returned as null

• lastUpdated — date of the listing's most recent update
• appUrl — direct link to the app's Marketplace listing

FAQ

Does this need a Google account or API key? No — the Marketplace is publicly browsable, and this actor reads it without any authentication, cookies, or proxy.

How many apps can one run return? Search and category pages return up to 100 apps per query (the marketplace's own natural limit); maxItems controls how many of those are emitted. byAppId mode has no such limit since it fetches exact listings.

What does pricingModel mean? Free means no cost at all; Freemium covers listings marked "free with paid features" or offering a free trial; Paid means payment is required to use the app.

What is worksWith? The Google products the app integrates with (e.g. Google Drive, Gmail, Sheets, Slides, Docs, Calendar, Forms, Chat), taken directly from the listing.

Why might rating, reviewCount, or installCount be missing? New or lightly used listings may not have published figures yet; the field is omitted rather than shown as zero.

Are reviews included in this actor's output? No — this actor covers app listing data only; review text is out of scope here.

Are the icon URLs publicly accessible? Yes — icons are hosted at lh3.googleusercontent.com and load without authentication.

Is this affiliated with Google? No — this is an independent actor reading the public Google Workspace Marketplace; it is not operated by or affiliated with Google.
