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

Output per app

appId — numeric app identifier
name — app display name
developer — publisher/developer name
shortDescription — one-line app summary
description — full app description
rating — average star rating, 0–5
reviewCount — total number of ratings
installCount — install count, when the listing publishes one
pricingModel — Free, Freemium, or Paid
categories — official Marketplace categories the app belongs to
worksWith — Google products the app integrates with (e.g. Google Docs, Google Drive)
lastUpdated — date of the listing's most recent update
appUrl — direct link to the app's Marketplace listing
iconUrl — app icon image, hosted by Google
recordType — always "workspace_app"
scrapedAt — ISO timestamp of the scrape

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
`mode`	string	`search`	`search`, `byCategory`, or `byAppId`
`searchQuery`	string	`mail merge`	Keyword to search for (mode=search)
`category`	string	`popular-apps`	Category path to browse (mode=byCategory)
`appIds`	array	`[]`	Numeric app IDs to fetch (mode=byAppId)
`maxItems`	integer	`50`	Maximum records to emit (1–200)
`language`	string	`en`	Language for search/category pages

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "mail merge",
  "maxItems": 30
}

Example: browse a category

{
  "mode": "byCategory",
  "category": "business-tools/sales-and-crm",
  "maxItems": 50
}

Example: fetch specific apps by ID

  "appIds": ["7081045131", "218858140275"]
}

{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "crm",
  "language": "es",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Use cases

IT and procurement evaluation — compare pricing models, ratings and Google-product compatibility before approving an app
Competitive research — track where your app or a competitor's ranks within a category
Market mapping — enumerate every app in a category (e.g. all CRM or accounting tools) for a landscape report
Vendor and partner discovery — find developers building for a specific Workspace product
App directory sites — populate a curated listing page with live Marketplace data

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.
