Get installed apps using REST api

Question

I'm trying to get all installed app on a SharePoint site using the REST API. I couldn't find any information about that.

Is it possible?

Answer 1

When you add an App to your site, basically it adds an sub-site to your site. It is not visible under site content because it is hidden. For this kind of sub-site, WebTemplate is 'APP'. So you can make a GET request to following end-point for your installed apps.

/_api/web/Webs?$select=Title&$filter=WebTemplate eq 'APP'

Update

SharePoint Hosted apps are added as sub-site but Provider Hosted apps are not. In that case actual solution is:

/_api/web/AppTiles?$filter=AppPrincipalId ne ''&$select=Title

Answer 2

Yes, it is possible. But please note that everything in SP 2013 is app so you will get all the list/libraries in report. For e.g. below give you one custom APP installed and one Library Images as app.

Use below REST API... https://yourdomain/sites/dev/_api/Web/AppTiles

Above will give you result in below format

Kai's comment - you can further filter this json by AppPrincipalId. For library\list it will be empty, for apps there will be a value.

Answer 3

If you want to get only the app web of a specific SharePoint hosted Add-In, you could use:

/_api/web/Webs?$select=*&$expand=AllProperties&$filter=WebTemplate eq 'APP' and AllProperties/ProductId eq '<AppProductID>'

You can find the product id of your classic SharePoint Add-In when viewing the code of the file AppManifest.xml in your Visual Studio project.
