📦 NuGet Packages Scraper

🚀 Export the .NET package catalogue in seconds. Search 400,000+ NuGet packages by keyword, package type, or SemVer level, and pull download counts, ownership, project links, and full version history in one run. No sign-up, no token plumbing, no manual paging.

The NuGet Packages Scraper queries the official .NET package catalogue and returns 17 fields per package, including ID, latest version, description, authors, owners, total downloads, project URL, license URL, tags, package types, verified status, and complete version history. The catalogue is the canonical home of every shipped .NET library, tool, template, and SDK, used by millions of developers worldwide.

The catalogue spans 400,000+ packages across 7 NuGet package types: dependency libraries, .NET tools, project templates, MSBuild SDKs, .NET client tools, .NET platforms, and standard packages. This Actor streams matching records as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under five minutes. Filtering runs server-side, so you skip pagination, retries, and field selection entirely.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
.NET developers, DevOps engineers, security analysts, package maintainers, OSS researchers, build engineers, data scientists	Dependency intelligence, supply-chain auditing, package discovery, download trend analysis, license compliance, competitor benchmarking

📋 What the NuGet Packages Scraper does

Four filtering workflows in a single run:

• 🔍 Keyword search. Free-text query across IDs, titles, tags, authors, owners, and descriptions.
• 📂 Package type filter. Restrict to dependency libraries, .NET tools, templates, MSBuild SDKs, or platforms.
• 🧪 Prerelease toggle. Include or exclude alpha, beta, preview, and release-candidate builds.
• 🏷️ SemVer level. Pick SemVer 1.0.0 or SemVer 2.0.0 (recommended) for build-metadata support.

Each record includes the package ID, latest version, description, icon, authors, owners, tags, verified status, total downloads, project and license URLs, and the full version history with per-version download counts.

💡 Why it matters: modern .NET stacks pull dozens of transitive dependencies. Visibility into who owns each package, how often it ships, and how widely it's adopted is the difference between a healthy build pipeline and a dependency confusion incident.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: authors, description, firstVersion, iconUrl, id, latestVersion, licenseUrl, owners, packageTypes, projectUrl, scrapedAt, tags, title, totalDownloads, url, verified, versionCount, versions. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
