Anaconda or Conda REST/JSON API

[stevenlis]

Does Anaconda or Conda have a REST/JSON API that provides basic information such as the version number of a package, similar to what is available on Anaconda's website? For example, I would like to retrieve the latest version of pandas from https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/pandas. I'm asking because I'm aware that PyPI offers a similar API here: https://warehouse.pypa.io/api-reference/json.html. To achieve the same result, I can use the following code snippet:

import requests
r = requests.get(url='https://pypi.org/pypi/pandas/json')
print(r.json()['info']['version'])

My current workaround would involve parsing the HTML returned and using regex to match HTML tags.

Does the prefix.dev GraphQL API suffice?

Thank you, but I'm not sure how to use it.

There is an API, but not sure if it's documented or not. For eg: https://api.anaconda.org/package/conda-forge/numpy

Thanks a lot! I couldn't find any documentation when searching on Google. It's quite slow because it returns a large amount of information. Do you happen to know if there are any additional queries in the URL I can use to limit the amount of information it returns?
