Input

{
  "packages": ["wget", "curl"],
  "packageType": "formula"
}

Field	Type	Description
`packages`	array of strings (required)	One or more Homebrew tokens to look up, e.g. `"wget"` or `"visual-studio-code"`. Use the exact lowercase, hyphenated token — not the display name.
`packageType`	string	`"formula"` (CLI package) or `"cask"` (macOS GUI app). All packages in one run must be the same type. Default `"formula"`.

Output

One record per requested package:

{
  "name": "wget",
  "packageType": "formula",
  "found": true,
  "displayName": "wget",
  "version": "1.25.0",
  "description": "Internet file retriever",
  "homepage": "https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/",
  "license": "GPL-3.0-or-later",
  "tap": "homebrew/core",
  "dependencies": ["libidn2", "libpsl", "openssl@3", "gettext", "libunistring"],
  "deprecated": false,
  "deprecationReason": null,
  "disabled": false,
  "disableReason": null,
  "installs30d": 16727,
  "installs90d": 56777,
  "installs365d": 330125
}

An unknown package name returns { "found": false } for that entry rather than failing the whole run or being silently skipped — useful when checking a longer list where one name might be a typo or a renamed/removed formula.

How it works

Direct calls to the official formulae.brew.sh API (the same data source that powers Homebrew's own package pages) — no proxy, no key, no scraping.

Pricing note

Billed per lookup (one run), not per package returned — one charge whether you request 1 package or 20.
