## API documentation
* [Chrome Management API - Count Installed Apps](https://developers.google.com/chrome/management/reference/rest/v1/customers.reports/countInstalledApps)
* [Chrome Management API - Find Installed App Devices](https://developers.google.com/chrome/management/reference/rest/v1/customers.reports/findInstalledAppDevices)
## Notes
To use these features you must add the `Chrome Management API` to your project and authorize
the appropriate scope: `Chrome Management API - read only`.
```
gam update project
gam oauth create
```
To get installed app details you must authorize the scope: `Chrome Management API - AppDetails read only`.
## Definitions
```
<AppID> ::= <String>
<AppType> ::= extension|app|theme|hostedapp|androidapp
<Date> ::=
<Year>-<Month>-<Day> |
(+|-)<Number>(d|w|y) |
never|
today
<OrgUnitID> ::= id:<String>
<OrgUnitPath> ::= /|(/<String>)+
<OrgUnitItem> ::= <OrgUnitID>|<OrgUnitPath>
```
## Quoting rules
Items in a list can be separated by commas or spaces; if an item itself contains a comma, a space or a single quote, special quoting must be used.
Typically, you will enclose the entire list in double quotes and quote each item in the list as detailed below.
- Items, separated by commas, without spaces, commas or single quotes in the items themselves
* ```"item,item,item"```
- Items, separated by spaces, without spaces, commas or single quotes in the items themselves
* ```"item item item"```
- Items, separated by commas, with spaces, commas or single quotes in the items themselves
* ```"'it em','it,em',\"it'em\""```
- Items, separated by spaces, with spaces, commas or single quotes in the items themselves
* ```"'it em' 'it,em' \"it'em\""```
## Display Chrome installed app details
```
gam info chromeapp android|chrome|web <AppID>
[formatjson]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.
## Display Chrome installed apps
```
gam show chromeapps
[(ou <OrgUnitItem>)|(ou_and_children <OrgUnitItem>)|
(ous <OrgUnitList>)|(ous_and_children <OrgUnitList>)]
[filter <String>]
[orderby appname|apptype|installtype|numberofpermissions|totalinstallcount]
[formatjson]
```
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.
```
gam print chromeapps [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*]
[(ou <OrgUnitItem>)|(ou_and_children <OrgUnitItem>)|
(ous <OrgUnitList>)|(ous_and_children <OrgUnitList>)]
[filter <String>]
[orderby appname|apptype|installtype|numberofpermissions|totalinstallcount]
[formatjson [quotechar <Character>]] [delimiter <Character>]
```
Use these options to select Chrome devices; if none are chosen, all Chrome devices in the account are selected.
- `ou <OrgUnitItem>` - Select devices directly in the OU `<OrgUnitItem>`
- `ou_and_children <OrgUnitItem>` - Select devices in the OU `<OrgUnitItem>` and its sub OUs
- `ous <OrgUnitList>` - Select devices directly in the OUs `<OrgUnitList>`
- `ous_and_children <OrgUnitList>` - Select devices in the OUs `<OrgUnitList>` and their sub OUs
- `filter <String>` - The minimum `last_active_date` for the devices
By default, Gam displays the information as columns of fields; the following option causes the output to be in JSON format,
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.
By default, when writing CSV files, Gam uses a quote character of double quote `"`. The quote character is used to enclose columns that contain
the quote character itself, the column delimiter (comma by default) and new-line characters. Any quote characters within the column are doubled.
When using the `formatjson` option, double quotes are used extensively in the data resulting in hard to read/process output.
The `quotechar <Character>` option allows you to choose an alternate quote character, single quote for instance, that makes for readable/processable output.
`quotechar` defaults to `gam.cfg/csv_output_quote_char`. When uploading CSV files to Google, double quote `"` should be used.
## Display Chrome devices with a specific installed application
```
gam show chromeappdevices
appid <AppID> apptype <AppType>
[(ou <OrgUnitItem>)|(ou_and_children <OrgUnitItem>)|
(ous <OrgUnitList>)|(ous_and_children <OrgUnitList>)]
[start <Date>] [end <Date>]
[orderby deviceid|machine]
[formatjson]
```

- `ou_and_children <OrgUnitItem>` - Select devices in the OU `<OrgUnitItem>` and its sub OUs
- `ous <OrgUnitList>` - Select devices directly in the OUs `<OrgUnitList>`
- `ous_and_children <OrgUnitList>` - Select devices in the OUs `<OrgUnitList>` and their sub OUs
- `start <Date>` - The minimum `last_active_date` for the devices
- `end <Date>` - The maximum `last_active_date` for the devices
By default, Gam displays the information as an indented list of keys and values.
* `formatjson` - Display the fields in JSON format.
