Why use this

API-only — official formulae.brew.sh JSON (no HTML scraping)
Delta-only — subsequent runs emit only when version/revision/checksum fingerprints change
First-run safe — empty state seeds LAST_SEEN with zero PPE delta charges
No auth required for public formulae and casks
Schedule-friendly — pair with an Apify schedule for continuous monitoring
Formulae + casks in one Actor

Input

Field	Required	Description
`formulae`	no*	List of Homebrew formula names (`wget`, `git`, `jq`, …)
`casks`	no*	List of Homebrew cask tokens (`visual-studio-code`, `iterm2`, …)
`resetState`	no	Clear `LAST_SEEN` and re-baseline (0 emits that run)

* At least one of formulae / casks must be non-empty.

Example

{
  "formulae": ["wget", "git", "jq"],
  "casks": ["visual-studio-code", "iterm2"],
  "resetState": false
}

Output

Each dataset item is a version change, for example:

kind, name, tap, version, revision, checksum, homepage, package_description, license, api_url, fingerprint, previous_fingerprint

First-run behavior

Situation	Dataset items	`version-delta` charges
Empty state	0	0 (baseline only)
Later runs with unchanged versions	0	0
Later runs with version/rev/checksum change	1 per changed package	1 per item

Tips

Run once to baseline, then attach a schedule (e.g. daily).
Keep watchlists focused — each package is one HTTP GET.
Set a user max total charge on the run so costs stay predictable.

ToS / scope

Uses the public formulae.brew.sh JSON API only. See ./AGREEMENT.md. Prefer watchlist mode over bulk catalog dumps.
