Hello,
I'm looking for clarification regarding Databricks Marketplace Apps and Private Exchanges, as the currently available documentation appears to be inconsistent.
From the Marketplace API documentation, it appears that App is a supported Marketplace asset type (ASSET_TYPE_APP) https://docs.databricks.com/api/marketplaces/v1/get-listing, and Marketplace APIs also support concepts such as private listings, Private Exchanges, and listing visibility (PUBLIC/PRIVATE). Additionally, Marketplace APIs appear to treat Apps as first-class Marketplace assets alongside other listing types.
However, the provider-facing documentation for creating Marketplace listings currently documents asset types such as tables, volumes/files, models, notebooks, and MCP servers, but I have not found corresponding guidance for publishing an App through the Marketplace provider workflow. Likewise, the Private Exchange documentation generally discusses private listings and data products, but does not explicitly state whether App listings are supported within the Private Exchange model.
Could you please clarify the following:
- Can a third-party provider publish an App asset type as a private listing within a Databricks Marketplace Private Exchange?
- If App private listings are supported, is this capability available through the standard self-service Marketplace provider experience, or does it require account-level enablement, allowlisting, feature flags, or participation in a specific program?
- If enablement is required, what is the correct process to request access to App listing capabilities?
The reason for the question is that the Marketplace APIs appear to expose App-related marketplace functionality, while the public provider documentation does not clearly describe whether Apps are included in the documented Private Exchange publishing flow. I'd appreciate confirmation of the supported model and links to any relevant documentation.
Thank you.
