Workshop guide
Garry's Mod Workshop addons can rely on Required Items, mounted game content, or server-specific configuration. Start with one exact addon URL so you can identify the item before troubleshooting missing textures or dependencies.
Check an item
Steam may return a public file URL for the item. When it does not, the result page provides a local SteamCMD command for that exact App ID and item.

How it works
01
Paste the individual addon URL into the form above and select Check download options.
02
Compare the returned title and game with the addon you wanted, then choose the delivery method Steam makes available.
03
A direct button appears only when Steam returns a valid public link. Otherwise, use the item-specific SteamCMD guidance locally and only for content you are authorized to access.
Quick answer
WorkshopFetch checks one Garry's Mod item and shows only the delivery method returned by Steam. It does not install content, expand dependencies, configure a server, or bypass Steam access rules.
Steam App ID 4000 identifies Garry's Mod. The addon ID is the Published File ID after id= in an individual sharedfiles URL.
Open the official item page and review Required Items, mounted games, and the creator's instructions. Downloading one file does not automatically include those dependencies.
Clients and servers can require different addon lists, collections, and startup settings. WorkshopFetch checks one item and does not generate server collections or configuration.

Garry's Mod FAQ
No. A collection contains multiple Published File IDs. Open the individual item pages and check them one at a time.
No. WorkshopFetch only shows the item information and delivery method returned by Steam. Installation, activation, and in-game configuration still happen through Steam and Garry's Mod.
Steam only exposes a direct button here when it returns a public Steam CDN file URL for the individual item. Otherwise, the result page can show an item-specific SteamCMD command to run locally.
Steam normally manages subscribed content under steamapps/workshop/content/4000/<Published File ID>/. For SteamCMD, use the save path shown after the command finishes; browser downloads remain in the browser's default download folder.
Common causes include missing Required Items, unmounted game content, or a server dependency. Check the official addon page; a single-item lookup cannot install those requirements.
