What is the GetApp API?
The GetApp API provides structured access to GetApp.com's software directory across 11 endpoints, covering categories, product details, pricing plans, user reviews, feature lists, integrations, and side-by-side comparisons. The get_software_details endpoint alone returns fields including rating_avg, num_reviews, integrations, features, pricing, and description for any listed product, identified by its URL slug.
No input parameters required.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the GetApp API
Category and Product Discovery
The list_categories endpoint returns every software category on GetApp with its category name, header group object, cta_urls for building slugs, and total_listings count. Those slugs feed directly into list_software_by_category, which accepts a category_slug and optional page integer and returns paginated listings alongside facets for filtering and a pagination object with total counts. The same category_slug format works with get_category_leaders, which additionally returns a buyersGuide object and serpData with ranked products.
Product Detail Endpoints
Each product-level endpoint accepts a slug in the format category-path/a/product-name (e.g. collaboration-software/a/monday-com). get_software_details returns the broadest set of fields — name, description, average rating, review count, pricing structure, feature lists, and integrations array. For more focused queries: get_software_pricing returns a plans array with per-plan startingPrice, attributes, currency, and pricing categories such as free-trial or subscription. get_software_reviews returns a list of full review objects, by_rating star distribution, by_field dimension ratings, and snippets. get_software_features returns a list with per-feature name, definition, and rating, plus popular and enhanced_features arrays.
Comparisons and Alternatives
get_software_alternatives returns an alternativesData object containing the source product alongside an alternatives array with ratings, pricing, and feature overlap for each. compare_software takes two parameters — slug1 (the full product path) and slug2 (the comparison product slug, obtainable from popular_comparisons data) — and returns a compareData object with side-by-side listings, alternatives, and metadata. These two endpoints are suited for building decision-support tools or software shortlisting workflows.
Research and Integrations
get_blog_research requires no inputs and returns all GetApp research posts with topics, contentHubs, and per-post metadata. get_software_integrations returns a count and an integrations array with name, slug, logo, and rating for each connected product, making it useful for mapping software ecosystems.
The GetApp API is a managed, monitored endpoint for getapp.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when getapp.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official getapp.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Build a software shortlisting tool that pulls
list_software_by_categorylistings filtered byfacetsfor specific buyer segments. - Aggregate user sentiment across competitors using
get_software_reviewsby_fielddimension ratings andby_ratingstar distributions. - Generate pricing comparison tables with
get_software_pricingplan names,startingPrice, andattributesacross multiple products. - Map software integration ecosystems by querying
get_software_integrationsfor each product in a category. - Power a side-by-side product comparison feature using
compare_softwarewithslug1andslug2inputs. - Surface category-level buyer guidance content from
get_category_leadersbuyersGuidefor research or content sites. - Index GetApp research articles and content hubs using
get_blog_researchpost metadata andtopics.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 100 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does GetApp have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_software_reviews` return beyond a simple star rating?+
get_software_reviews returns a list of full review objects, a by_rating map that breaks down counts per star level, a by_field object with dimension-level ratings (e.g. ease of use, customer support), snippets for short review previews, and an overall rating_avg. The total field gives the complete review count for the product.How does slug construction work across endpoints?+
category-path/a/product-name (e.g. collaboration-software/a/monday-com). The category portion of slugs can be obtained from the cta_urls.detail field returned by list_categories. For compare_software, slug2 accepts only the short product slug (e.g. notion) rather than the full path.Does the API expose vendor-side data such as claimed profiles, sponsored rankings, or advertising status for listings?+
Is there a way to search for software by keyword rather than browsing by category?+
list_categories and list_software_by_category, with facets available for filtering within a category. Freetext keyword search across the full product index is not exposed. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a search endpoint.
