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
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
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_results | 25 | Maximum project records to return (1–500, 25 per page). |
include_details | false | Also 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). |
proxyConfiguration | Optional | Enable 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.
