APP DIRECTORY & INTEGRATION INTELLIGENCE

Zapier
app data.

Map the apps.
Understand the connections.

App identities, categories and published capabilities, structured for software research and integration planning.

Scope your dataset Explore the data

SEE BEYOND THE APP NAME

A clearer view of
the integration landscape.

Find relevant software, compare published capabilities and keep your reference catalogue current without reading every integration page by hand.

Build an app reference

Organize app identities, descriptions and categories into a searchable catalogue for internal software research.

Plan integrations

Compare the triggers, actions and searches exposed by your target apps. Shortlist capabilities before implementation testing.

Track catalogue changes

Compare dated snapshots for new apps, changed flags and updated operation sets within an agreed collection scope.

APP IDENTITY + PUBLISHED CAPABILITIES

One app.
Three useful views.

Connect an app record to its operations with a stable identifier. Keep the source page and observation time alongside the data.

A record you can match.

App identity, categories and integration flags, tied to the published source. The description and other available fields can be added to your delivery scope.

app_id / app_slug
Source identity for matching and deduplicating app records.
categories
Published categories, kept as a list rather than one guessed label.
is_premium / is_beta
Integration flags on Zapier, not the vendor subscription price.
source_url / captured_at
Where and when the record was observed.

Selected public metadata. No automation was executed.

Real Google Sheets snapshot. Selected fields only; flags and categories may change after the observation date.

Selected fields from a Google Sheets integration snapshot collected on 10 October 2026. This is not a live feed, a full catalogue export or a tested automation.

DETAILS WORTH KEEPING SEPARATE

More useful data.
Fewer wrong assumptions.

Preserve the distinctions that matter when turning a directory into something your team can reliably query.

01 / IDENTITY

A name is not an identifier

Keep app IDs and slugs alongside labels. Apps can appear in multiple categories; that should not create duplicate app records.

02 / CAPABILITIES

An action is not a template

A published operation describes a capability. A workflow template combines steps. Neither proves that two accounts are connected or a workflow has run.

03 / COVERAGE

Missing is not removed

Record failed fetches separately. Compare like-for-like snapshots before treating an absent app or operation as a real change.

LESS REPEATED WORK. BETTER CONTEXT.

Discover broadly.
Enrich selectively.

Collect the directory once, then request detail only for the apps and fields that matter to your project.

  1. 01 / DISCOVER

    Define the app set

    Agree categories, filters and coverage. Collect app identities from the accessible directory and deduplicate before enrichment.

  2. 02 / ENRICH

    Read the capabilities

    Parse available structured page data for categories and published operations. Keep operation types and required-field metadata distinct.

  3. 03 / DELIVER

    Validate and refresh

    Check schema, missing values and source identity. Deliver the agreed tables or JSON, with dated updates and failed-page reporting.

STRUCTURED FIRST

HTML can already contain the data

The directory and app page tested with 2Captcha returned embedded JSON. Parsing those fields required no AI call or interactive browser session.

View the sample source
KEEP THE WORKLOAD LEAN

Render only when needed

Validate the returned content before escalating to browser rendering. Deduplicate app detail requests and reserve AI for optional analysis or classification.

Scraper API reference

Collection scope, refresh frequency and reuse are reviewed against Zapier's source terms. This is a public catalogue-data service, not access to private accounts, credentials or users' workflows.

CHOOSE HOW YOU WANT TO WORK

Your page workflow.
Or a managed catalogue.

Use the API for your own public-page research. Choose a custom collection when you need a maintained, structured dataset.

YOU CONTROL THE REQUESTS

Scraping API

Collect accessible public pages across websites, with optional AI analysis and classification.

  • Content-only mode without AI processing
  • Your URLs, parsing and result handling
  • No login or CAPTCHA bypass
Explore the API
WE MANAGE THE COLLECTION

Managed Zapier data

A defined app set, normalized operations and an agreed refresh plan for recurring catalogue research.

  • Sample validation and coverage review
  • Deduplication and schema maintenance
  • JSON, CSV or scoped API delivery

BEFORE YOU SCALE

Coverage, capabilities
and collection costs.

Does one directory request return every Zapier app?

No. The first directory response in our sample contained 22 app records, not the full catalogue. Category and pagination coverage must be agreed and checked separately. We deduplicate by source app ID and report the collected scope rather than treating a displayed total as delivered coverage.

How do you separate triggers, actions and searches?

They remain separate operation types. A trigger starts a workflow; an action performs work; a search looks up an existing record. The sample parser keeps published operation keys and excludes hidden implementation helpers. Matching by display name alone can incorrectly merge different operations.

Does a premium or beta flag describe the app itself?

It describes the integration as observed on Zapier. It is not the third-party vendor's subscription price, a guarantee of plan eligibility, or a complete lifecycle history. Missing flags remain unknown rather than becoming false.

Can this data tell us whether a workflow will run?

It can help shortlist compatible capabilities, but a published action is not proof of an executable workflow. Authentication, account permissions, plan requirements, dynamic fields and the actual payload still need testing. This service collects catalogue metadata; it does not connect accounts or run Zaps.

How are new apps and changed operations detected?

Start with a dated baseline, then compare successful observations using app ID, operation type and operation key. Keep the implementation identifier where available. A failed request or disappearance from one category is not enough to declare that an app or action has been removed.

Do you need AI or a browser for every page?

Not for the pages validated in our sample. Their initial HTML included structured app and capability data, which we parsed without AI. Rendering is a fallback when required fields are genuinely absent. Optional classification, translation or analysis is a separate step, not a prerequisite for extraction.

What determines the cost and delivery format?

Directory coverage, the number of enriched apps, required fields and refresh frequency determine the work. We avoid repeated detail requests for the same app. JSON can preserve nested operations; CSV can use separate app and operation tables joined by app ID. Scheduled files or a managed API are scoped to your project, with source access and reuse requirements reviewed first.

START WITH YOUR APP SET

Which integrations
do you need to understand?

Share the apps, categories and capabilities you want to research. We will validate a sample and propose a collection scope.

  • Target apps or directory categories
  • App fields and operation details
  • Refresh frequency and delivery format
