PyPI Python Packages Scraper - Metadata & Downloads

Get clean PyPI package data: version, summary, description, author, license, classifiers, Python requirement and daily/weekly/monthly download counts. As JSON, CSV or Excel. Free, no key, no proxy.

💵 Pricing

Key/proxy? No. Search by keyword? PyPI has no public search API, so you pass exact package names. Bulk? Yes — pass a full list; requests run async in batches.
