What it does
PyPI Package Search searches and extracts Python package information from the Python Package Index (PyPI). It returns package names, versions, descriptions, release dates, and direct links.
Why use it
PyPI hosts over 500,000 Python packages. This actor helps Python developers, DevOps engineers, and researchers discover packages, track new releases, and compare alternatives programmatically. Perfect for building dependency analysis tools or monitoring the Python ecosystem.
How it works
- The actor takes a search query and optional maximum items count.
- It sends a request to PyPI's search page using CheerioCrawler.
- Package listings are extracted from the HTML response with pagination support.
- Results are pushed to the Apify dataset in a structured format.
