# Retrieving Apps

> Listing apps available on Zapier is a simple way to show users all of what's possible on Zapier

### Prerequisites

* Your app needs to be published as a [public integration](https://platform.zapier.com/quickstart/private-vs-public-integrations) in Zapier's App Directory.

### Example Implementation

## Fetching a list of Apps available on Zapier

<Steps>
  <Step title="Authenticate with Zapier">
    Following the [authentication
    guide](/powered-by-zapier/authentication/methods/user-access-token), receive
    a token from the Zapier Workflow API.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your request, and filter as needed">
    Leveraging the [`/apps`
    endpoint](/powered-by-zapier/api-reference/apps/get-apps-\[v2]), filter the
    list of apps to meet your needs, available query params include: -
    `category` - could be useful for listing popular CRMs for example. - `query`

    * a string by which to seach for for apps. - `ids` - filter the list to
      specific apps, by their associated identifier.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Integrate with your product">
    Shape the apps returned to match the look and feel of your product,
    showcasing the additional apps available ✨
