Returns IDs, latest versions, descriptions, owners, authors, total downloads, project and license URLs, tags, package types and full version history for any matching package. - **URL**: https://apify.com/parseforge/nuget-packages-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [ParseForge](https://apify.com/parseforge) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Business, Automation - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $26.25 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/platform/actors/running/actors-in-store#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ![ParseForge Banner](https://github.com/ParseForge/apify-assets/blob/ad35ccc13ddd068b9d6cba33f323962e39aed5b2/banner.jpg?raw=true) ## ๐Ÿ“ฆ NuGet Packages Scraper > ๐Ÿš€ **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. > ๐Ÿ•’ **Last updated:** 2026-05-15 ยท **๐Ÿ“Š 17 fields** per record ยท **๐Ÿ“ฆ 400,000+ packages** ยท **๐Ÿท๏ธ 7 package types** ยท **๐Ÿ” Live per run** 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. | ๐ŸŽฏ Target Audience | ๐Ÿ’ก 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 | --- ### ๐Ÿ“‹ What the NuGet Packages Scraper does Four filtering workflows in a single run: - ๐Ÿ” **Keyword search.** Free-text query across IDs, titles, tags, authors, owners, and descriptions. - ๐Ÿ“‚ **Package type filter.** Restrict to dependency libraries, .NET tools, templates, MSBuild SDKs, or platforms. - ๐Ÿงช **Prerelease toggle.** Include or exclude alpha, beta, preview, and release-candidate builds. - ๐Ÿท๏ธ **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. > ๐Ÿ’ก **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. --- ### ๐ŸŽฌ Full Demo _๐Ÿšง Coming soon: a 3-minute walkthrough showing how to go from sign-up to a downloaded NuGet dataset._ --- ### โš™๏ธ Input

Type a query, pick a package type, and click Start. The Actor applies the filters server-side against the official catalogue and returns one structured record per matching package. No browser automation, no captchas, no setup. #### ๐Ÿ“ How accurate are the download counts? Total download numbers reflect the cumulative count published by the catalogue. They can lag the live counter by a few minutes during heavy publishing periods. Per-version download counts are equally fresh and update on every run. #### ๐Ÿ” How often is the catalogue refreshed? The catalogue updates continuously as authors publish new versions. Every run of this Actor pulls the latest catalogue state, so you always see current versions and current download numbers. #### ๐Ÿงช Can I include prerelease packages? Yes. Set `prerelease: true` to include preview, alpha, beta, and release-candidate versions alongside stable releases. #### ๐Ÿ“‚ Can I filter to .NET CLI tools or templates? Yes. Pick `DotnetTool` to scope to .NET CLI tools, `Template` for project templates, or `MSBuildSdk` for MSBuild SDKs. Leave the field empty to include every package type. #### โฐ Can I schedule regular runs? Yes. Use Apify Schedules to run this Actor on any cron interval (hourly, daily, weekly) and keep a downstream database in sync. #### โš–๏ธ Is this data legal to use? Package metadata in the catalogue is publicly browsable. Review individual package licences before redistribution, but listing data is fine for analytics and discovery use. #### ๐Ÿ’ผ Can I use this data commercially? Yes. Listing metadata is publicly accessible for analytics and search use cases. You are responsible for honouring each package's own licence when redistributing software. #### ๐Ÿ’ณ Do I need a paid Apify plan to use this Actor? No. The free Apify plan is enough for testing and small runs (10 records per run). A paid plan lifts the limit and gives you scheduling, higher concurrency, and larger datasets. #### ๐Ÿ” What happens if a run fails or gets interrupted? Apify automatically retries transient errors. If a run still fails, you can inspect the log in the Runs tab, fix the input, and re-run. Partial datasets from failed runs are preserved so you never lose progress. #### ๐Ÿ†˜ What if I need help? Our support team is here to help.
