Docker Hub Images & Tags Scraper

$2.20 / 1 000 results — pay only for results, no credit card to try.

🐳 What this scrapes

Docker Hub Images & Tags Scraper pulls structured rows from Docker Hub's public /v2 REST API — one row per repository + tag pair. Give it a list of repository names (nginx, bitnami/redis) or a free-text search term, and it returns each tag's digest, size, supported architectures, and freshness (last_pushed / last_pulled), plus a resolvable Docker Hub URL. No Docker Hub account or auth token required.

🔥 Features

• Repository or search input — feed exact namespace/name repositories, or a search term we resolve to the top matching repositories first.
• Full tag pagination — we follow Docker Hub's next cursor across pages so you get every tag up to your configured cap, not just page one.
• Per-tag architecture list — deduplicated amd64 / arm64 / arm (and friends) for every tag, so you can filter multi-arch images without a second lookup.
• Optional repository details — opt in to one extra call per unique repository for star count, pull count, official-image flag, and a short description.
• Fault-isolated batches — one unknown or renamed repository in your list never stops the rest of the batch from completing.

🎯 Use cases

• SBOM & supply-chain tooling — build an inventory of image digests and architectures across your organization's repositories.
• DevRel competitive intel — track how often a vendor's official images are pushed and which architectures they support.
• Security teams — spot stale tags (old last_pushed) worth flagging for a rebuild, without hand-browsing the Hub UI.
• Devtool vendors — power a "search Docker Hub" feature in your own product without building pagination and rate-limit handling yourself.

⚙️ How to use it

1. Click Try for free on the Apify Store page (or Start in Console).
2. Enter one or more Repositories (e.g. library/nginx, bitnami/redis), or leave it empty and set a Search query instead.
3. Optionally raise Max tags per repository or turn on Include repository details.
4. Run the Actor. Rows land in the run's default dataset as they're found.
5. Export via the Results (JSON) / Results (CSV) links, or pull them over the API.

We rotate browser fingerprints and retry with exponential backoff on 408 / 429 / 503 responses, honouring Retry-After when Docker Hub sends it — you don't have to build any of that yourself.

📥 Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
repositories	array of string	[]	Repository names, one per line. Bare names imply library/name. Wins over search_query when both are set.
search_query	string | null	null	Free-text search term, used only when repositories is empty.
max_repositories	integer	10	Search-mode fan-out cap (1-25).
max_tags_per_repository	integer	25	Per-repository tag cap (1-100).
include_repository_details	boolean	false	Fetch star/pull count, official flag, and description per unique repository.
proxy_configuration	object	{"useApifyProxy": true}	Standard Apify Proxy configuration.

media_type	string | null	Tag manifest media type.
last_pushed / last_pulled	string | null	ISO-8601 freshness timestamps.

Example: 1,000 rows ≈ $2.20.

🚧 Limitations

• Public repositories only — private/authenticated Docker Hub content is out of scope for this Actor.
• Repository metadata is scoped to the short description field; the long-form full_description markdown is never fetched.
• Image content (layers, docker pull) is out of scope — this Actor returns metadata only.

❓ FAQ

Does this need a Docker Hub account or token? No — it uses Docker Hub's public, unauthenticated /v2 API.

What happens if a repository doesn't exist? We skip it, log a warning, and keep processing the rest of your batch.

What if my search term matches nothing? The run finishes successfully with zero rows and a status message naming what was searched — you're not charged for rows that don't exist.

Can I get every tag for a huge repository? Set Max tags per repository up to 100 per repository per run; we follow Docker Hub's pagination cursor until that cap or the repository's real tag count, whichever comes first.
