Collects software project listings from the SourceForge.net directory. Search by keyword, narrow to a directory category, or browse the directory as-is, and get one flat record per project with its name, project page, tagline, description, icon, weekly download count and last-update date. An optional detail mode adds each project's full description, status, creation date, homepage, maintainers and licence / operating-system / language categories.

Input

FieldDefaultDescription
query(empty)Free-text search over the project directory (e.g. database, crm, video editor). Empty browses without a keyword.
category(empty)Directory category path to scope the listing (e.g. business-enterprise, development, games, security). Empty covers all categories.
max_results25Maximum project records to return (1–500, 25 per page).
include_detailsfalseAlso look up each open-source project's full metadata: description, status, creation date, homepage, support link, maintainers, categories and screenshot count (one extra request per project).
proxyConfigurationOptionalEnable a US-based proxy for the most reliable results.

Output

Each result is one project listing:

{
"name": "H2 Database",
"slug": "h2-database.mirror",
"project_url": "https://sourceforge.net/projects/h2-database.mirror/",
"listing_type": "open_source_project",
"tagline": "H2 is an embeddable RDBMS written in Java",
"description": "Welcome to H2, the Java SQL database. Very fast, open source, JDBC API. Embedded and server modes; in-memory databases.",
"icon_url": "https://a.fsdn.com/allura/mirror/h2-database/icon?505043b9b01b6a932da22e9b874329a3132f3c8aa&w=120",
"downloads_this_week": 17,
"last_update": "2025-09-22",
"rating": null
}

With include_details enabled, records additionally carry summary, long_description, status, created_date, homepage, support_url, developers, categories, screenshot_count and a raw object with the project's original structured metadata.
