Pull the entire F-Droid catalog of open-source Android apps as clean, structured data. No API key, no login, no proxy. The actor reads F-Droid's official repository index, a public feed, so the data stays accurate and the run never trips over a captcha or a rate limit.
What it returns
One record per app, with the fields people actually use for research and outreach:
- Identity: name, packageName, summary, description
- Licensing: license (SPDX), antiFeatures
- Classification: categories
- Developer leads: authorName, authorEmail, authorWebsite, website
- Source and support: sourceCode, issueTracker, changelog, translation, donate, liberapay
- Release: latestVersionName, latestVersionCode, minSdkVersion, targetSdkVersion, whatsNew
- Dates: added, lastUpdated (ISO 8601, UTC)
- Links: iconUrl, fdroidUrl
Inputs
- searchQuery: keyword matched against name, summary, description and package name. Empty returns the whole catalog.
- category: keep one F-Droid category, matched as a partial term, for example Internet, Game, Multimedia, Security, Development.
- license: keep apps whose license contains this text, for example GPL, MIT, Apache.
- onlyWithSource: keep only apps that link a public source repo.
- onlyWithAuthorEmail: keep only apps that publish a developer email. Good for building a contact list.
- sortBy: lastUpdated, added, or name.
- maxItems: cap the result count. Use 0 for the full catalog.
Example uses
Track which open-source apps shipped an update this week. Build a developer contact list for a category. Audit licenses across the FOSS Android ecosystem. Feed a privacy-app directory or an AI recommender with fresh, structured metadata.
Output
Results land in the default dataset. Export to JSON, CSV, or Excel, or pull them from the dataset API. The default run returns the 100 most recently updated apps, so you get real data on the first try.
Notes
Data comes from F-Droid under its open metadata terms. App content is owned by each project. Respect each app's license when you reuse anything beyond the catalog metadata.
