# Get an app

> Whether you connected an app, and the link that connects it.

`{app}` is the app's id (`gmail`) or its name (`Google Calendar`). The answer always has the id in `slug`.

Open `connect_url` to connect the app: sign in to Valendata, then to the app. The link does not expire and works on any device. It connects the app to the Valendata account that opens it, so open it signed in as yourself. An API key cannot connect an app on its own; a person always signs in. See [Connect an app](/concepts/connected-apps#connect-an-app).

Needs `apps:read`. MCP tool: `get_app`.

    Create, run, schedule, and improve skills and workflows over JSON and HTTPS.
    Every route is under `/v1`; changes inside v1 are additive only (new routes,
    new optional parameters, new response fields). A route that will go away is
    marked `deprecated` here and answers with `Deprecation`, `Sunset` and a
    `Link` to its replacement for at least six months before it is removed.
