    Usage info

    This App Management API method lists apps approved for installation for a workspace.

    This method requires an admin.* scope. It's obtained through the normal OAuth process, but there are a few additional requirements. The scope must be requested by an Enterprise Grid admin or owner, and the OAuth install must take place on the entire Grid org, not an individual workspace. See the admin.apps:read page for more detailed instructions.

    Note: enterprise_id and team_id cannot be used together.

    • Passing enterprise_id will return the list of org-wide approved apps.
    • Passing team_id will return the apps approved for that specific workspace.

    The developer_type in each app helpfully describes its origin.

    • internal: the app was developed as part of this Enterprise Grid or workspace.
    • third_party: the app was developed by a third party, such as (but not limited to) those found in the Slack Marketplace.
    • slack: the app was built with love by Slack. Hello!
