How this service works
Homebrew formula status: version, license, deprecation or disablement, install counts over 30, 90 and 365 days.
Output
A JSON object with the formula's name, stable version, license, summary, homepage, install counts over 30/90/365 days, boolean flags for deprecated/disabled/degraded/keg_only/hasBottle, deprecation and disable reasons, replacement formula if applicable, dependency count, and metadata timestamps.
Example use cases
Audit deprecated brew dependencies
“I'm maintaining a Brewfile and want to check if 'openssl@1.1' is deprecated or disabled on Homebrew and whether there's a recommended replacement formula.”
Track install popularity of a CLI tool
“How popular is the 'gh' formula on Homebrew? Give me the install counts for the last 30, 90, and 365 days so I can compare it to other tools.”
Verify license before bundling
“What license does the Homebrew formula 'imagemagick' use? I need to confirm it's permissive before I include it in our internal tooling bundle.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://package-registries.x402tookit.com/brew-formula?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need authoritative Homebrew-specific metadata — deprecation status, install counts, and license — for a named formula. Prefer it over generic package search when you already know the formula name and need structured health data for decision-making, auditing, or monitoring.
Side effects
- Formula name not found — returns null or error if the formula does not exist on Homebrew
- Misspelled formula name returns no data
- Upstream Homebrew API unavailable causes degraded or null response
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402/error
