# Export Homebrew On-Request Top Formulae

**Use case:** 

Export today's public Homebrew install-on-request top-20 through the Formulae JSON API. Replace topN or the 30/90/365-day window if you track another slice. Each row is a formula observation with rank, installs and share, plus one query_status row. This first run writes no history.

## Input

```json
{
  "mode": "snapshot",
  "outputMode": "all",
  "stateNamespace": "default",
  "metric": "installOnRequest",
  "period": "30d",
  "topN": 20,
  "watchlist": [],
  "includeFormulaMetadata": false,
  "maxFormulaRows": 400
}
```

## Output

```json
{
  "formula": {
    "label": "Formula",
    "format": "string"
  },
  "rank": {
    "label": "Rank",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Homebrew Formula Install Rankings & Change Monitor](https://apify.com/automa-flow/homebrew-formula-install-rankings-monitor.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/automa-flow/homebrew-formula-install-rankings-monitor.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
