Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## NuGet v3 Feed Extractor Point at **any NuGet v3 service index** and export its packages as a clean, structured dataset — one row per package, straight from the feed's own self-describing v3 API. The NuGet v3 protocol is **self-describing**: a feed's service `index.json` advertises its capabilities as a list of resources keyed by `@type` (`SearchQueryService`, `RegistrationsBaseUrl`, `PackageBaseAddress`, …). This actor *resolves* the feed's own advertised search endpoint and queries it, so **one actor works against every v3 feed in existence** — no per-host scraper, no hardcoded endpoints. Unlike the nuget.org-only scrapers, this runner points at **any** v3 feed: - **nuget.org** — the central public registry (450k+ packages) - **Azure Artifacts** — Azure DevOps package feeds - **GitLab** — the GitLab package registry - **MyGet**, **JFrog Artifactory**, **Sonatype Nexus** - **self-hosted** BaGet / Gitea / Forgejo package registries ### Modes The run mode is auto-selected from the input fields you set: | mode | when | emits | |------|------|-------| | **search** | `query` is set | one row per package matching the search | | **list** *(default)* | `query` is empty | one row per package the feed returns for an empty query | | **discovery** | `discoveryOnly: true` | a single row describing the feed — advertised services, resource count, resolved search URL, total package count | ### Input ```json { "indexUrl": "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json", "query": "json", "prerelease": true, "maxRecords": 100 } ```` - **`indexUrl`** *(required)* — the v3 service index URL. Examples: `https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json`, `https://www.myget.org/F/nunit/api/v3/index.json`. - **`query`** — search term. Leave empty for **list** mode (all packages). - **`prerelease`** — include beta/rc/alpha versions (bool). - **`packageType`** — optional type filter (`Dependency`, `DotnetTool`, `Template`, …) — honoured by feeds that implement it. - **`discoveryOnly`** — describe the feed only (one row). - **`maxRecords`** — global cap; pagination stops when reached. Leave empty for everything. - **`apiKey`** / **`extraHeaders`** — optional auth for private feeds (sent as `X-NuGet-ApiKey` / raw headers). Never required for public feeds, never logged. ### Output One flat, fully-nullable row per package: | field | example | |-------|---------| | `packageId` | `Newtonsoft.Json` | | `latestVersion` | `13.0.5-beta1` | | `title` / `description` / `summary` | `Json.NET` / … | | `authors` / `owners` | `James Newton-King` | | `tags` | `["json"]` | | `totalDownloads` | `8621110743` | | `verified` | `true` | | `versionCount` | `54` | | `projectUrl` / `licenseUrl` / `iconUrl` | … | | `packageTypes` | `["Dependency"]` | | `latestVersionUrl` / `registrationUrl` | … | | `_indexUrl` / `_searchUrl` / `_totalHits` | feed + resolved-search metadata | | `_raw` | the lossless original search entry | Every optional field is nullable and read by key presence, so a feed that spells `totalDownloads` differently (nuget.org `totalDownloads` vs MyGet `totaldownloads`) or omits `iconUrl`/`tags` never drops data or crashes — it just yields `null` for that column. ### Behaviour - A body that is **not** a v3 service index (HTML, 404 text, JSON without a `resources` list) fails fast with a clear message. - A feed that advertises **no** `SearchQueryService` fails fast honestly in search/list mode (discovery mode still reports what it *does* support). - An empty result is 0 records and a clean exit — never a crash. - Transient `5xx` / `429` responses are retried with backoff (honours `Retry-After`). ### Pricing Pay-per-event: one **record** event per package row returned. # Actor input Schema ## `indexUrl` (type: `string`): URL of a NuGet v3 service index (index.json). The v3 protocol is self-describing: the index advertises the feed's own search endpoint, so ONE actor works against any v3 feed — nuget.org (the central registry), Azure Artifacts, the GitLab package registry, MyGet, JFrog Artifactory, or a self-hosted BaGet / Gitea / Forgejo package registry. Examples: https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json or https://www.myget.org/F/nunit/api/v3/index.json . The run MODE is chosen automatically from the other fields you set (see below). ## `query` (type: `string`): SEARCH MODE. A package search term matched against package id / title / description / tags via the feed's advertised SearchQueryService. Leave EMPTY to run LIST MODE (every package the feed returns for an empty query). Set discoveryOnly instead to just inspect the feed. ## `prerelease` (type: `boolean`): When true, prerelease (beta/rc/alpha) package versions are included in the results. When false, only stable releases. Passed through to the feed's search endpoint. Leave unset for the feed's own default. ## `packageType` (type: `string`): Optional package-type filter passed through to the feed (e.g. Dependency, DotnetTool, Template, DotnetPlatform). Only feeds that implement the SearchQueryService/3.5.0 packageType parameter honour it; others ignore it. Leave empty for all package types. ## `discoveryOnly` (type: `boolean`): DISCOVERY MODE. When true, the actor resolves the service index and runs one tiny probe, then emits a SINGLE row describing the feed itself: which services it advertises (@types), how many resources, the resolved search URL, whether search works, and the total package count. A cheap way to check what any v3 feed supports before a full run. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): A GLOBAL cap on the number of package rows to emit (each row is one package and one billable event). Pagination stops as soon as the cap is reached, so a small value is a cheap, deterministic sample. Leave empty to fetch every matching package — a broad query on nuget.org (450k+ packages) can return a very large set. ## `apiKey` (type: `string`): Optional API key for a private / registration-required feed (sent as the X-NuGet-ApiKey header). Not required for public feeds. Never logged. ## `extraHeaders` (type: `object`): Optional extra HTTP headers as a JSON object, e.g. {"Authorization": "Bearer ..."} for a gated Azure Artifacts / GitLab feed. Not required for public feeds. Header values are never logged. ## Actor input object example ```json { "indexUrl": "https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json" } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
