FAQ
Does this require authentication? No. The Chocolatey Community Repository NuGet v2 API is publicly accessible without any API key or login.
How many packages can I scrape? Up to 500 per run. For larger datasets, run multiple times with different search queries.
What does "Approved" mean? Chocolatey has a moderation process. Approved packages have been reviewed and verified by the Chocolatey team. Some packages are "Exempted" (well-known trusted publishers bypass the full moderation process).
What are the popular packages available?
Common packages include: nodejs, python, git, googlechrome, firefox, 7zip, vlc, notepadplusplus, vscode, docker-desktop, and thousands more.
Can I search by tag?
The search uses the package ID and tags. Searching for nodejs will find packages with "nodejs" in their ID or tags.
What is the data source?
