# PyPI Package Bulk Lookup (`gocreative.ai/pypi-package-bulk-lookup`) Actor Bulk-fetch PyPI package metadata: version, downloads, license, author, project URL. For Python dependency audits and OSS prospecting. - **URL**: https://apify.com/gocreative.ai/pypi-package-bulk-lookup.md - **Developed by:** [GoCreative AI](https://apify.com/gocreative.ai) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing Pay per usage This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

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 ## PyPI Package Bulk Lookup **Bulk-fetch PyPI package metadata: version, downloads, license, author, project URL. For Python dependency audits and OSS prospecting.** No API key, no signup, no subscription — pay only for what you scrape. Clean, structured output ready for CSV, JSON, Excel, or direct API export into your own pipeline. ### What this scraper does Bulk-fetch PyPI package metadata: version, downloads, license, author, project URL. For Python dependency audits and OSS prospecting. Every run pulls fresh data straight from the source and pushes clean, typed records to the dataset — ready for your CRM, spreadsheet, AI agent, or data pipeline. ### Use cases - **B2B lead generation** — build targeted prospect lists with verified, structured data - **Sales prospecting** — find companies and contacts that match your ICP - **Market research & competitive intelligence** — track an industry or niche in structured form - **AI agents & automation** — feed agents clean external data without scraping infra - **Data enrichment** — append fresh fields to your existing lists ### Input | Field | Description | |---|---| | `packages` | List of pypi package names to process. Example: ['requests', 'flask', 'fastapi'] | | `maxConcurrent` | Higher = faster but uses more API credits in parallel. | ### Output Every result is a clean structured record. Export the full dataset as **CSV, JSON, or Excel** from the Apify console, or pull it via the Apify API straight into your own tools. ### Why use this actor - **Scrape pypi package bulk lookup** — fast, structured, reliable. - **Pypi package bulk lookup data export (csv, json, excel)** — fast, structured, reliable. - **Pypi package bulk lookup api alternative — no key required** — fast, structured, reliable. - **Automated pypi package bulk lookup monitoring on a schedule** — fast, structured, reliable. - **Structured pypi package bulk lookup records for ai agents and pipelines** — fast, structured, reliable. ### How it works This actor pulls data directly from the source, structures it into clean rows, and pushes each result to the dataset. It runs on Apify's infrastructure — reliable, schedulable, and pay-per-result so you only pay for data you actually get. ### Pricing Pay-per-result via the Apify Store. No monthly subscription, no minimums — run it once or schedule it daily; you're only charged for the results returned. ### FAQ **Do I need an API key or account?** No. Just provide your input and run it. **Can I schedule it to run automatically?** Yes — use Apify Schedules to run it hourly, daily, or weekly and get fresh data on autopilot. **What formats can I export?** CSV, JSON, Excel, or via the Apify API. **Can I integrate it into my own app?** Yes — call it via the Apify API and pull results directly into your pipeline. **Is the data accurate and fresh?** Data is pulled live from the source on each run, so it reflects what's available at run time. # Actor input Schema ## `packages` (type: `array`): List of pypi package names to process. Example: ['requests', 'flask', 'fastapi'] ## `maxConcurrent` (type: `integer`): Higher = faster but uses more API credits in parallel. ## Actor input object example ```json { "packages": [ "requests", "flask", "fastapi" ], "maxConcurrent": 5 } ```` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "packages": [ "requests", "flask", "fastapi" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("gocreative.ai/pypi-package-bulk-lookup").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
