NuGet .NET Packages Scraper – Downloads, Versions & Authors

Get clean NuGet package data by search query or exact package id: total downloads, latest version, authors, tags, description, project & license URLs, and the verified-owner flag. As JSON, CSV or Excel. Free, no key, no proxy.

💵 Pricing

Pay per result — about $1 per 1,000 packages (both search input and package-id input priced the same). No subscription, no proxy needed. You only pay for the data you scrape, and new Apify accounts include free monthly credits so you can test it for $0.

🔎 What can it extract?

• Package id, latest version, title
• Total downloads (all versions)
• Authors, tags, description
• Project URL, license URL, icon URL
• Verified owner flag + canonical nuget.org URL
• Two modes: search a query, or fetch exact package ids

🚀 How do I use it?

1. Click Try for free.
2. Set the input (see example below).
3. Click Start and download results as JSON, CSV or Excel — or pull them via the API / schedule them.
