Live install analytics for Homebrew, the macOS and Linux package manager, from the public formulae.brew.sh feed — no key, nothing stored. The adoption view of the Homebrew ecosystem: how much each command-line formula and each desktop-app cask is installed, and the most-installed packages overall, distinct from the Homebrew formula-catalog API in the catalogue (which describes a package — this measures how much it is actually used). The formula endpoint returns a command-line tool's install counts over 30, 90 and 365 days plus install-on-request, with its version and description. The cask endpoint returns a desktop app's install counts. The top endpoint returns the most-installed formulae or casks over a chosen window, ranked. Build developer-tool popularity dashboards, "is this tool still maintained and used" widgets, package-trend trackers and ecosystem-health tools on top of real Homebrew analytics. Look up a formula by its name (wget, node, ffmpeg) or a cask by its token (google-chrome, visual-studio-code); counts come from Homebrew's opted-in user analytics.

The macOS and Linux package manager — Homebrew (brew) — as an API. Look up any formula (command-line package) for its description, latest version, license, homepage, dependencies and build dependencies, caveats and deprecation status; look up any cask (graphical macOS app) for its version, bundled apps and homepage; and search the whole registry of 8,300+ formulae and 7,600+ casks by name and description. Each result comes with the exact `brew install` command. Covers the Homebrew world from wget, git, ffmpeg, node and python to Firefox, Visual Studio Code, Docker and Rectangle. Live from the official formulae.brew.sh API. Ideal for developer dashboards, package and dependency tooling, dotfiles and setup automation, and macOS app catalogs. Open data from Homebrew.
