Homebrew Formulae

Homebrew Formulae is an online package browser for Homebrew.

It displays all packages in the Homebrew/homebrew-core and Homebrew/homebrew-cask. A GitHub Action is run periodically which pulls changes from each tap and deploys the site to GitHub Pages.

JSON API

It also provides a JSON API for all packages (or individual packages) in each tap and their related analytics. This JSON data is used for the creation of the HTML resources on this site.

Currently available:

• List formulae metadata for all formulae
• Get formula metadata for each formula
• List analytics events for all formulae
• List analytics events for each formula

Read more in the JSON API documentation.
