Track newly published Python packages, updated library versions, summary documentation, licenses, and maintainers from the Python Package Index (PyPI).
Features
- Scrapes real-time RSS feeds for both updated package releases and brand new package submissions.
- Separates package names and semantic version numbers cleanly.
- Optionally queries the PyPI JSON metadata API for author names, licenses, Python version requirements, and repository homepages.
- Operates via public PyPI feeds without requiring API credentials or proxy rotations.
- Exports structured records directly to JSON, CSV, Excel, or downstream webhook receivers.
Input parameters
- Feed Type: Select between Updated Packages (new versions of existing libraries) or Newly Created Packages (first-time registrations). Default is updates.
- Fetch Extended Details: When enabled, looks up author name, license, project homepage, and python requirements via the PyPI API. Default is true.
- Maximum Packages: Number of package releases to collect. Default is 50, maximum is 100.
Output dataset fields
Each dataset record contains:
- name: Package name registered on PyPI (for example: requests, flask, pydantic).
- version: Newly released version string (for example: 2.31.0).
- summary: Short project description provided by the package author.
- pypiUrl: Permanent direct link to the package on pypi.org.
- feedType: Feed monitored (updates or packages).
- author: Maintainer or author handle.
- license: Stated software license (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD).
- homePage: Project documentation or GitHub repository link.
- requiresPython: Python version compatibility constraints.
- publishedAt: ISO formatted UTC release timestamp.
- scrapedAt: UTC timestamp when the data was extracted.
Use cases
- Security supply chain monitoring: Detect typosquatting attempts and suspicious newly registered package names.
- Dependency tracking: Monitor releases of critical internal dependencies without polling individual GitHub repos.
- Python ecosystem intelligence: Identify emerging libraries, new developer tools, and framework plugins as soon as they are published.
- Package analysis: Collect descriptions and release cadence metrics across the Python open-source community.
