# Search Data Apps

> Search market Data Apps by keyword and return compact cards. When authenticated, switch to your apps or apps shared with you.

**`GET`** `https://api-datahub.octoparse.com/v1/data-apps`

Authentication: optional. Anonymous access works; with an API key you unlock logged-in filters and more content.

Market search. Anonymous access is allowed. With an empty `q`, results are ordered by latest publish time. With a non-empty `q`, results are ordered by relevance.

With an API key you get two extensions:

* **View switch**: `owner=me` lists apps you published (including unpublished drafts; cards include `status` and `scope`). `shared_with=me` lists apps shared with you point-to-point.
* **Visibility scope**: without a view switch, `scope` controls the candidate set. Default or `public` is the market; `private` is your private apps; `shared` is every share-visible app (shared by you and shared with you); `all` is everything visible to the current credential, and anonymously it naturally degrades to the market. In attribute mode, `status` defaults to published apps only.

Cards carry only what you need for selection: name, summary, capability boundary, input/output hints, execution mode, starting price, and price table. Full input/output contracts, execution profile, and call samples come from <a href="/docs/en/datahub/api/reference/discovery/get-data-app">App detail</a>.

## Request

### Query parameters

<ParamField query="q" type="string">
  Business keywords in any language. Add a platform name to narrow the range (for example `temu reviews`). Empty lists the catalog.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="type" type="string">
  Filter by app type. `data` fetches external data; `transform` processes existing data.

  Values: `data` / `transform`.

  Values: `data-acquisition` / `data-processing`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="owner" type="string">
  Pass `me` to switch to the “apps I published” view. Requires an API key.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="shared_with" type="string">
  Pass `me` to switch to the “apps shared with me” view. Requires an API key.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="scope" type="string">
  Visibility scope. `public` is the market (default), `private` is your private apps, `shared` is apps inside a share relationship, `all` is the full visible set. The last three require an API key.

  Values: `public` / `private` / `shared` / `all`.
</ParamField>

<ParamField query="status" type="string">
  Filter by lifecycle status. `draft`, `published`, or `deprecated`. Attribute mode defaults to `published`.

  Values: `draft` / `published` / `deprecated`.
</ParamField>
