NuGet Scraper · .NET Packages, Versions, Downloads & Authors

NuGet Scraper extracts comprehensive public package metadata from NuGet, the official package manager for .NET. Collect package identifiers, titles, version history, download statistics, authors, project repository URLs, license terms, tags, framework targets, and security vulnerability alerts.

Maintained by reapX. Every row cites the Apify run that produced it — nothing is inferred, modelled or filled in, and a field absent from the source is absent from the row. The extracted archive for this source is browsable at reapx.dev/data/nuget-scraper/ and mirrored as an open dataset on Hugging Face and Kaggle. Questions: reapxdev@proton.me

⬇️ Input

Every field is described here exactly as the Actor reads it. Run it with the prefilled input and it returns real rows without any further configuration.

Field	Type	Required	Prefilled	What it does
`query`	string	yes	`"json"`	Search query string for NuGet packages. Supports free text (e.g. json), tag filters (e.g. tag:logging), target framework (e.g. framework:net8.0), author (e.g. author:microsoft), or package...
`includePrerelease`	boolean	no	`false`	Include pre-release packages (alpha, beta, RC versions) in search results. When enabled, pre-release package metadata is scraped alongside stable releases.
`packageType`	string	no	-	Narrow the search to one kind of NuGet package: a library, a .NET CLI tool or a project/item template.
`includeDependencies`	boolean	no	`false`	Read each package's registration index and add dependencies, dependencyCount, targetFrameworks, published, licenseExpression and listed. The search endpoint carries none of those at any...
`minDownloads`	integer	no	-	Minimum total download count filter. Package records with fewer total downloads than this value will be excluded from the dataset results.
`maxItems`	integer	yes	`50`	Maximum package records to return and push to the default dataset (1 to 5,000).
`maxPages`	integer	yes	`5`	Maximum search result pages to fetch from the NuGet V3 search API (1 to 100). Each page retrieves up to 100 package items.

What empty means, and what a larger value costs

The two questions an input table normally does not answer. Both columns are read off this Actor's own code and its own price list.

Field	Left empty	Turned up
`query`	Leave empty to search popular default packages.	Narrowing this reduces rows returned, so it lowers the bill.
`includePrerelease`	Only stable release packages are returned. Disabling pre-release excludes unfinished packages and speeds up processing.	Turning this on costs extra requests to the source, not extra rows.
`packageType`	Leave empty to search every package type, which is what nuget.org itself does.	This filter is applied by the search service, not afterwards, so it makes runs cheaper rather than more expensive. Measured live: json matches 11,017 packages, json restricted to...
`includeDependencies`	Those six fields stay empty, 0 and true.	One extra request per package, run 5 at a time, so a 500-package run takes noticeably longer. It adds no rows and no charge.
`minDownloads`	Leave empty for no minimum download constraint.	Narrowing this reduces rows returned, so it lowers the bill.
`maxItems`	Falls back to `50`	Each row returned is one $0.001 charge, so this field is your cost cap as well as your row cap. At the ceiling of 5,000 rows that is $5.00 at list price.
`maxPages`	Falls back to `5`	More pages means more HTTP requests to the source and a longer run. It raises the ceiling on rows without raising the row cap itself.

⬆️ Output

One row per record, as JSON, CSV, Excel or XML, and through the API. Every field below is on every row this Actor writes; a field the source did not return is empty rather than guessed.

Field	Type	What it gives you	Example
`packageName`	string	Unique .NET package identifier on NuGet (e.g. Newtonsoft.Json)	"Newtonsoft.Json"
`title`	string	Display title of the NuGet package	"Json.NET"
`version`	string	Latest published version string	"13.0.4"
`description`	string	Full package description detailing purpose and usage	"Json.NET is a popular high-performance JSON framework fo...
`summary`	string	Short summary description of the package	"High-performance JSON framework for .NET"
`authors`	array	List of package authors	["James Newton-King"]
`owners`	array	List of NuGet package owners/publishers	["newtonsoft", "nuget"]
`totalDownloads`	integer	Cumulative total download count across all versions	982341234
`projectUrl`	string	URL to the open-source project repository or homepage	"https://www.newtonsoft.com/json"
`licenseUrl`	string	URL to the package license terms	"https://licenses.nuget.org/MIT"
`iconUrl`	string	URL to the package logo/icon image	"https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/newtonsoft.json/1...

`latestVersionDownloads`	integer	Download count specifically for the latest release	168874731
`packageTypes`	array	Types of NuGet package (e.g. Dependency, DotnetTool)	["Dependency"]
`hasVulnerabilities`	boolean	Indicates whether known security vulnerabilities exist for any version	false
`vulnerabilitiesCount`	integer	Total number of recorded security advisory vulnerabilities	0
`published`	string	When the current version was published to nuget.org. Empty unless Include Dependencies & Publish Date is on.	"2026-07-31T09:14:02.473+00:00"
`licenseExpression`	string	Licence the package declares, as an SPDX expression. Empty unless Include Dependencies & Publish Date is on, or when...	"Apache-2.0"
`listed`	boolean	False when the current version has been unlisted from search by its owner but is still installable by exact version.	true
`dependencyCount`	integer	Distinct package dependencies across every target framework of the current version. Zero unless Include Dependencies &...	24
`targetFrameworks`	array	Frameworks the current version declares a dependency group for, such as .NETStandard2.0 or net8.0.	[".NETStandard2.0", "net8.0"]
`dependencies`	array	Each dependency as package id, version range and the target framework that declares it.	[{"id": "System.Text.Json", "range": "[8.0.0, )", "target...

🧪 Worked examples

Every block below is an input this Actor has actually run, with the row count of the run that produced it. Copy one straight into the Console.

ORM libraries with dependencies and publish dates

{
  "query": "tag:orm",
  "packageType": "Dependency",
  "includeDependencies": true,
  "maxItems": 25,
  "maxPages": 1
}

That run returned 25 rows in 5s.
