getAppInstance( )

Retrieves data about the instance of your app that's installed on a Wix site and data about the site itself. For example, to check whether the Wix user has installed a free or paid version of your app, or to check which apps made by Wix are installed on the site.

You must authenticate this method as a Wix app (REST | SDK).

To retrieve site.ownerInfo in the response, you must have the READ SITE OWNER EMAIL permission scope in addition to MANAGE YOUR APP.

Authentication
  • When developing websites or building an app with Blocks, this method may require elevated permissions, depending on the identity of the user calling it and the calling user’s permissions.
  • When building apps without Blocks or for headless projects, you can only call this method directly when authenticated as a Wix app or Wix user identity. When authenticated as a different identity, you can call this method using elevation.
  • Elevation permits users to call methods they typically cannot access. Therefore, you should only use it intentionally and securely.
