Hardware End-of-Life Lookup: EOSL Status by Vendor/Product

Search a dataset of 3,100+ vendor hardware product families (Cisco, Juniper, Dell, HPE and more) for category, end-of-service-life status and date, with links to the per-family detail page and vendor source bulletin. Free, keyless, source-linked, CC BY 4.0 dataset from EOSL.ai.

What does Hardware End-of-Life Lookup do?

Search 3,100+ networking and IT hardware product families for end-of-service-life status and dates.

What can you use it for?

• Audit a network/server vendor inventory for product families nearing end-of-service-life.
• Prioritise hardware refresh planning by status (past, soon, active).
• Look up a vendor's product category and EOSL status before a purchase.
• Feed asset-management or CMDB enrichment pipelines.

Why use this Actor?

• Fast and cheap: lightweight HTTP-based Actor with no browser, so runs finish in seconds and cost very little.
• No API keys or accounts needed for the data source (see notes below).
• Clean, structured JSON that you can export as CSV, Excel, JSON or XML, or pull through the Apify API and integrations.
• Scheduling, webhooks and integrations: run it daily and send results to Google Sheets, Slack, Zapier, Make, n8n or your own API.

How much does it cost?

The Actor is billed by Apify according to the pricing shown on the Pricing tab of this page. Runs are small and fast, and the Apify Free plan includes monthly platform credits so you can try it at no cost. You can set a maximum cost per run, and the Actor stops cleanly when that limit is reached.

Notes and limitations

• Data is EOSL.ai's open dataset (CC BY 4.0), rebuilt from vendor end-of-life bulletins.
• endOfServiceLife is a vendor-published month-granularity date (YYYY-MM); it is null when not yet announced.
• detailUrl links to the full per-family JSON record (SKUs, exact dates, source bulletins, replacements).
• Leave the search field empty to list entries in dataset order.

Tips

• Start with a small test run, then scale up the input.
• Use Schedules to automate recurring runs and Webhooks or Integrations to deliver the data where you need it.
• Call the Actor from your code with the Apify API or the official JavaScript and Python clients.

FAQ

What do the status values mean?

active = not yet end-of-sale, soon = end-of-service-life approaching, past = already past end-of-service-life, mixed = some SKUs in the family differ, unknown = not yet determined.

Does this cover software end-of-life too?

No, use the Software End-of-Life Tracker Actor for software/OS product lifecycles; this one is hardware product families.
