JSON API for PyPi - how to list packages?

api, json, pypi

Solution

The easiest way to do this is to use the simple index at PyPI which lists all packages without overhead. You can then request the JSON of each package individually by performing a GET request to the URLs mentioned in your question.

Problem

There is a JSON API for PyPI which allows getting data for packages: ``` http://pypi.python.org/pypi/<package_name>/json http://pypi.python.org/pypi/<package_name>/<version>/json ``` However, is it possible to get a list of all PyPI packages (or, for example, recent ones) with a GET call?
