⏳ EndOfLife Date Scraper

🚀 Export software lifecycle data from endoflife.date including EOL, LTS, and latest release dates in seconds. Clean tabular records, ready for download.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-05 · 📊 12 fields per record · Public API · No login required

The EndOfLife Date Scraper turns the public endoflife.date API into a flat tabular dataset of software release cycles, EOL dates, LTS flags, support windows, and latest versions.

Filter the source, pick how many rows you want, and download.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
🧑‍🔬 Researchers	Pull a clean dataset for downstream analysis
👩‍💻 Developers	Mirror the API into your own database
🏢 Data teams	Snapshot metadata on a schedule
📰 Journalists	Verify claims against the source of record

📋 What the EndOfLife Date Scraper does

• Calls the public endpoint with the parameters you supply.
• Parses each record into a flat row.
• Casts numeric fields to numbers.
• Surfaces upstream rate limits as a clean error record.
• Exports to every Apify dataset download format.

💡 Why it matters. A flat tabular shape drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet without further wrangling.

⚙️ Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
product	string	No	Product slug, for example nodejs. Leave blank to pull every product.
ltsOnly	boolean	No	Only LTS cycles.
supportedOnly	boolean	No	Only cycles still in support.
maxItems	integer	No	Free 10, paid up to 1,000,000.

Example 1, Node.js lifecycle:

{
  "product": "nodejs",
  "maxItems": 20
}

Example 2, all supported LTS releases:

{
  "ltsOnly": true,
  "supportedOnly": true,
  "maxItems": 100
}

⚠️ Good to Know. The upstream public API may rate-limit aggressive callers. The actor surfaces rate-limit notes as a clean error record instead of crashing.
