Get App Price

public workflow

Install Workflow...

This workflow contains at least one Python script. Only use it if you trust the person who shared this with you, and if you know exactly what it does.

I understand, install the workflow!

This is a workflow for Editorial, a Markdown and plain text editor for iOS. To download it, you need to view this page on a device that has the app installed.

Description: Queries the iTunes Store API to search for an app's name, returns formatted name and price (in USD) in a popover.

The workflow can optionally create an affiliate link if affiliate information is provided in two variables at the top.
