FlutterFlow Marketplace Scraper

Scrape Flutter and Dart packages from pub.dev — the official package registry powering FlutterFlow's custom widget, action, and integration ecosystem. Search by keyword, browse by SDK tag or platform, fetch packages by name, or list all packages by a publisher. Returns version, description, pub scores, likes, weekly downloads, supported platforms, repository links, and direct URLs.

Data Source: FlutterFlow Marketplace (https://marketplace.flutterflow.io) has no public API — it is a JavaScript SPA with no accessible data endpoints. This actor uses the pub.dev public API as the authoritative source for Flutter/Dart packages, which is the underlying package registry from which FlutterFlow's custom widgets and actions are sourced.

What this actor does

• Four modes: search, browse, getById, byPublisher
• Rich scoring: pub points (0–160), likes, weekly downloads, popularity
• Platform breakdown: Android, iOS, Web, Windows, macOS, Linux
• SDK filtering: Flutter packages, Dart-only, Flutter Favorites, null-safe, wasm-ready
• No auth or proxy required — uses pub.dev's fully public API
• Empty fields are omitted from every record

• Publisher monitoring: List all packages from specific publishers (Google, Dart team, etc.)
• Quality filtering: Find only high-quality packages with minimum pub points or likes

FAQ

Q: Why does this use pub.dev instead of the FlutterFlow marketplace directly? A: The FlutterFlow Marketplace (https://marketplace.flutterflow.io) has no public API — it is a JavaScript single-page application with no accessible data endpoints. pub.dev is the official Dart/Flutter package registry and the source from which FlutterFlow's custom widget ecosystem is built.

Q: Does this require an API key or authentication? A: No. The pub.dev API is fully public with no authentication required.

Q: How many packages are available on pub.dev? A: pub.dev hosts over 40,000 packages.

Q: What is the difference between likes and pubPoints? A: likes is a community engagement metric (users clicking the like button). pubPoints is an automated quality score (0–160) evaluating documentation, static analysis, platform support, and dependency health.

Q: What are Flutter Favorites? A: Flutter Favorites are packages manually curated by the Flutter team as especially high-quality and recommended. Use sdkTag: "flutter-favorite" to browse them.

Q: Can I filter to packages that support only specific platforms? A: Yes, use the platform input to filter to packages supporting a specific platform (android, ios, web, windows, macos, linux).
