Editorial Workflows

App Store Search

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: Performs an App Store Store search based on Pedro Lobo's App Store Linker workflow.
The result you choose will be copied to the clipboard.

You need to set your affiliate token and the list limit (the search won't always return the correct match in the first case) in the variables before running this workflow for the first time.
