RubyGems

App · Code Repositories · 18 actions

Read anything on RubyGems.org. Look a gem up by name for its licence, authors, links and dependencies, walk its whole release history, open one release for its files, checksums and signed attestations, and see who can push to it. Search the registry, watch what has been published in the last week, find which gems depend on one you care about, and track download counts for a release, a gem or the whole site. No account or API key is required.

Actions

Search gemsSearch RubyGems.org exactly as its own search box does, across gem names and descriptions.

Find gem names

Find gem names that match some text, from the same lookup that fills the search box on RubyGems.org. Names only, which is what 'is there a gem called something like this?' asks and what feeds a gem field in a later step. The answer says whether one of them matched exactly. No API key required.

Inputs

Name starts withquerytextRequired
The beginning of a gem name. Matching is on the name itself, not on descriptions, so a topic finds nothing here and belongs in 'Search gems'.
Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.

Get a gem

Look up a gem on RubyGems.org: what it does, who wrote it, what licence it carries, where its source, issues and changelog live, what it depends on, and how often it has been downloaded. Everything is at the gem's newest release; use 'Get a gem version' to read an older one. No API key required.

Inputs

Get a gem version

Read one specific release of a gem in full: its summary and description, when it was built and published, the Ruby and RubyGems versions it needs, its dependencies and its checksums. Use it to read the release a project actually pins rather than whatever is newest today. No API key required.

Inputs

Gem namegemtextRequired
The gem to look up, spelled exactly as you would install it. Use 'Find gem names' first if you are not sure of the spelling.
VersionversiontextRequired
Which release to read. Fill in the gem first and this list loads, newest first, with the date each went out. Yanked releases are not listed, because RubyGems no longer serves them.
Platformplatformtext
Which build of this release to read. Leave blank for the default, which is the pure Ruby build for almost every gem. Fill in the gem and version first and this list loads.

Get a user profile

Get a RubyGems user's public profile. Takes a username or the numeric id that appears on a gem's owner list, so it is the step that turns an id into a name a person recognises. No API key required.

}

Get a version's attestations

Get the sigstore attestations published with a release: proof, signed when the gem was pushed and recorded in a public transparency log, of what was published and by which build. The supply chain check for a dependency. Signing is opt-in and recent, so an empty answer is normal rather than a failure. No API key required.

Inputs

Gem namegemtextRequired
The gem to look up, spelled exactly as you would install it. Use 'Find gem names' first if you are not sure of the spelling.
VersionversiontextRequired

Get downloads for a version

Get how often one release of a gem was downloaded, and how often the gem has been downloaded in total. Both numbers come back together with the release's share worked out, so a step can report adoption of a new version without a second call. No API key required.

Inputs

Gem namegemtextRequired
The gem to look up, spelled exactly as you would install it. Use 'Find gem names' first if you are not sure of the spelling.
VersionversiontextRequired
Which release to read. Fill in the gem first and this list loads, newest first, with the date each went out. Yanked releases are not listed, because RubyGems no longer serves them.

  "version_downloads": 1235527,
  "version_share_percent": 0.09
}

}

Get total downloads

Get how many gems have ever been downloaded from RubyGems.org, across every gem and every version. One number for the whole registry, which is the context a single gem's count needs. No API key required.

Inputs

None.

Outputs

total_downloadsnumber
total_downloads_readabletext
Example output
{
  "total_downloads": 263477987718,
  "total_downloads_readable": "263,477,987,718"
}

List a user's gems

List every gem a RubyGems user can push to, with each gem's newest version and download count and the total across all of them. Public, so it works for anyone's username. Use 'List my gems' for the account this connection's key belongs to. No API key required.

Inputs

UsernameusertextRequired
The person's RubyGems username, which is the last part of their profile URL. A numeric user id works too, which is what 'List gem owners' returns.
Sort bysorttext
How to order the gems that come back.One of: name (Gem name, A to Z), downloads (Most downloaded first), newest (Most recently released first). Default: name.
Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.

List gem versions

List a gem's releases with the date each went out, how many times it was downloaded and which Ruby it needs. Versions order by RubyGems' own rules rather than as text, so 1.10.0 sits above 1.9.0 and a release above its own release candidates. Only indexed releases are listed, so a yanked one is absent. No API key required.

Inputs

Gem namegemtextRequired
The gem to look up, spelled exactly as you would install it. Use 'Find gem names' first if you are not sure of the spelling.
Sort bysorttext
How to order the releases that come back.One of: newest (Newest release first), oldest (Oldest release first), downloads (Most downloaded first), number (Version number as text, A to Z). Default: newest.
Include prereleasesinclude_prereleasetrue/false
Turn off to leave out alphas, betas and release candidates, which is what a check for 'is there a new stable release?' wants. On by default.Default: true.
Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.

List new gems

List the fifty gems most recently published to RubyGems.org for the very first time. These are names that did not exist before, which is what a typosquat watch or a 'what is new in Ruby' digest wants. Use 'List updated gems' for new versions of gems that already existed. No API key required.

Inputs

Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.

List releases in a timeframe

List every release published anywhere on RubyGems.org between two moments. Give it the moment your last run finished and only what has appeared since comes back, so a scheduled workflow sees each release exactly once. RubyGems answers at most seven days at a time. No API key required.

Inputs

Fromstartdate and timeRequired
The moment to start from. Releases published at or after this are included.
Toenddate and time
The moment to stop at. Leave blank for now. The window may not be longer than seven days, which the step checks before it asks.
Pagepagenumber
Which page of results to read. RubyGems serves 30 to a page. The answer says whether another page may follow, so a loop can raise this until it does not. Defaults to the first page.At least 1. Default: 1.
Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.

List the files in a version

List every file packaged inside one release, each with its SHA-256. The check for 'did this release ship the file I expect, unchanged?'. RubyGems only records this for releases pushed since it started keeping file manifests, so a much older release reports that its contents are unavailable. No API key required.

Inputs

Gem namegemtextRequired
The gem to look up, spelled exactly as you would install it. Use 'Find gem names' first if you are not sure of the spelling.
VersionversiontextRequired
Which release to read. Fill in the gem first and this list loads, newest first, with the date each went out. Yanked releases are not listed, because RubyGems no longer serves them.
Platformplatformtext
Which build of this release to read. Leave blank for the default, which is the pure Ruby build for almost every gem. Fill in the gem and version first and this list loads.
Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.

Search gems

Search RubyGems.org exactly as its own search box does, across gem names and descriptions. Results come back 30 to a page with each gem's version, licence, author and download count, and the answer says whether another page follows. Use 'Find gem names' when you only need names. No API key required.

Inputs

Search textquerytextRequired
What to search for. Matches gem names and their descriptions, so a phrase describing the job works as well as a name.
Pagepagenumber
Which page of results to read. RubyGems serves 30 to a page. The answer says whether another page may follow, so a loop can raise this until it does not. Defaults to the first page.At least 1. Default: 1.
Limitlimitnumber
How many rows to return, from 1 to 500. The answer always says how many there were in total, so a limited list never reads as a complete one. Defaults to 25.From 1 to 500. Default: 25.
