CRAN API
The R package ecosystem — CRAN, the Comprehensive R Archive Network — as an API. Look up any R package for its title, description, version, license, maintainer and author, homepage and bug-tracker links, and its full dependency tree (depends, imports, suggests, linkingTo); read a package's complete release history with publication dates; search the entire CRAN registry by keyword; and get download statistics (last day, week or month, with an optional daily series) straight from the official CRAN download logs. Covers the ~22,000 packages on CRAN, from ggplot2, dplyr and data.table to jsonlite, shiny and the wider tidyverse. Live from the official R-community services (crandb, search.r-pkg.org, cranlogs). Ideal for package dashboards, dependency and supply-chain tooling, data-science developer portals and R ecosystem analytics. Open data from CRAN.
