# Homebrew
|
|
|
|
**Mode**: 🌐 Public · **Domain**: `formulae.brew.sh`
|
|
|
|
Inspect Homebrew formulae and casks, plus the official install-rank analytics, without auth or browser. Three commands.
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
| Command | Description |
|
|
|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `opencli homebrew formula <name>` | Single Homebrew core formula's metadata |
|
|
| `opencli homebrew cask <token>` | Single Homebrew cask's (macOS app) metadata |
|
|
| `opencli homebrew popular` | Most-installed formulae or casks (Homebrew analytics ranking) |
|
|
|
|
## Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Inspect a formula
|
|
opencli homebrew formula wget
|
|
opencli homebrew formula gcc@13
|
|
opencli homebrew formula imagemagick
|
|
|
|
# Inspect a cask (macOS package)
|
|
opencli homebrew cask firefox
|
|
opencli homebrew cask visual-studio-code
|
|
|
|
# Most popular installs (defaults to formula / 30d / top 30)
|
|
opencli homebrew popular
|
|
opencli homebrew popular --type cask --window 90d --limit 50
|
|
opencli homebrew popular --type formula --window 365d --limit 100
|
|
|
|
# JSON output
|
|
opencli homebrew popular -f json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Output Columns
|
|
|
|
| Command | Columns |
|
|
|---------|---------|
|
|
| `formula` | `formula, tap, version, license, description, homepage, dependencies, deprecated, disabled, source, url` |
|
|
| `cask` | `cask, tap, name, version, description, homepage, deprecated, disabled, download, url` |
|
|
| `popular` | `rank, token, type, installs, percent, window, url` |
|
|
|
|
The `token` column from `popular` round-trips into `formula` (when `type=formula`) or `cask` (when `type=cask`).
|
|
|
|
## Options
|
|
|
|
### `homebrew formula`
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `name` (positional) | Formula name (`wget`, `gcc@13`, `imagemagick`) |
|
|
|
|
### `homebrew cask`
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `token` (positional) | Cask token (`firefox`, `visual-studio-code`) |
|
|
|
|
### `homebrew popular`
|
|
|
|
| Option | Description |
|
|
|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `--type` | `formula` (default) or `cask` |
|
|
| `--window` | `30d` (default) / `90d` / `365d` |
|
|
| `--limit` | Max rows (1-500, default: 30) |
|
|
|
|
## Caveats
|
|
|
|
- Formula / cask tokens are validated against Homebrew's `[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._+@-]*` pattern (max 100 chars). Bad input raises `ArgumentError`.
|
|
- `--type` and `--window` are validated against the only values Homebrew analytics actually publishes. Anything else raises `ArgumentError`.
|
|
- Homebrew analytics serves install counts as comma-formatted strings (`"139,972"`); we coerce them to plain numbers.
|
|
- The endpoints are static GitHub Pages JSON regenerated daily, so timestamps lag by up to 24 h.
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- No browser required — uses `formulae.brew.sh/api/formula/<name>.json`, `formulae.brew.sh/api/cask/<token>.json`, and `formulae.brew.sh/api/analytics/(install|cask-install)/<window>.json`.
