## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Docker Hub Repository Intelligence API

Public Docker Hub repository metadata API for container ecosystem research, dependency due diligence, and market intelligence.

### Source and compliance

Uses Docker Hub public API endpoints for public repository metadata and tag summaries. It does not log in, does not access private repositories, and does not collect personal profile/contact data.

### Example input

```json
{ "repositories": ["library/nginx", "grafana/grafana"], "maxResults": 2, "includeTags": true }
```

### Output fields

Repository, namespace, name, description, pull count, star count, timestamps, Docker Hub URL, API URL, tag count, recent public tags, and source attribution.

# Actor input Schema

## `repositories` (type: `array`):

Public Docker Hub repositories to inspect. Use namespace/name for user/org repositories or official images like library/nginx.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum repositories to return.

## `includeTags` (type: `boolean`):

Fetch a small public tag page to include recent tags and tag count when available.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "repositories": [
    "library/nginx"
  ],
  "maxResults": 10,
  "includeTags": true
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "repositories": [
        "library/nginx"
    ],
    "maxResults": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("intimate_pacu/dockerhub-repository-intelligence-api").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "repositories": ["library/nginx"],
    "maxResults": 10,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("intimate_pacu/dockerhub-repository-intelligence-api").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
