# Upstream Scraper API - Extract Software & DevOps Tools (`fresh_cliff/upstream-scraper-api`) Actor Extract software packages, DevOps tools, dependencies from Upstream repositories. Real-time development data with mirror fallbacks. Export to JSON/CSV. Monitor releases, track dependencies, analyze ecosystems. Fast requests + BeautifulSoup scraper. - **URL**: https://apify.com/fresh\_cliff/upstream-scraper-api.md - **Developed by:** [Brennan Crawford](https://apify.com/fresh_cliff) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation, Other - **Stats:** 1 total users, 0 monthly users, 0.0% runs succeeded, 0 bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing $14.99/month + usage To use this Actor, you pay a monthly rental fee to the developer. The rent is subtracted from your prepaid usage every month after the free trial period.You also pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher Apify subscription plan you have.

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 # Actor input Schema ## `searchKeywords` (type: `array`): Keywords to search for software packages and tools ## `packageTypes` (type: `array`): Types of software packages to extract ## `repositories` (type: `array`): Upstream repositories to scrape ## `maxPackages` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of packages to extract ## `includeVersions` (type: `boolean`): Extract version history and release information ## `includeDependencies` (type: `boolean`): Extract dependency information and requirements ## `includeDownloads` (type: `boolean`): Extract download counts and popularity metrics ## `includeDocumentation` (type: `boolean`): Extract README files and documentation links ## `useMirrorFallbacks` (type: `boolean`): Enable mirror sites for reliable data extraction when direct access fails ## `detailedLogging` (type: `boolean`): Enable detailed logging for debugging and monitoring ## Actor input object example ```json { "searchKeywords": [ "react", "docker", "kubernetes" ], "packageTypes": [ "npm", "docker", "pypi" ], "repositories": [ "github", "npm", "dockerhub" ], "maxPackages": 100, "includeVersions": true, "includeDependencies": true, "includeDownloads": true, "includeDocumentation": true, "useMirrorFallbacks": true, "detailedLogging": false } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `packages` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
