Who it's for 👥

• Elm developers picking dependencies for a new project
• Open-source maintainers and researchers mapping the Elm ecosystem
• Data teams building package indexes or license audits

What you get 📦

• Complete package data: Name, one-line summary, and author for every match
• Version info: The latest published version string for each package
• License details: The SPDX license identifier so you can filter by terms
• Direct links: A ready-to-open package documentation URL and a run timestamp

📊 Elm registry data fields

Each package record includes: name, summary, license, version, author, packageUrl, scrapedAt and an error field. All 8 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to know: you only need an Apify account; no Elm or GitHub login is required. Every run pulls the live Elm package registry, so results reflect the catalog at run time. Only publicly published package metadata is collected.
