Overview

The Homebrew Source plugin for CloudQuery extracts configuration from the Homebrew Analytics API and loads it into any supported CloudQuery destination (e.g. PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and more).
The Homebrew Analytics API exposes data for the top 10,000 Homebrew formula installs, aggregated over 30-day, 90-day, and 365-day periods. The plugin can fetch data for any of these periods. When synced on a regular basis, the plugin can be used to track the popularity of Homebrew formulae over time.

Configuration

The following configuration syncs from Homebrew to a Postgres destination. The (top level) source spec section is described in the Source Spec Reference. The config for the postgresql destination is not shown here. See our Quickstart if you need help setting up the destination.

  name: "homebrew"

Homebrew Spec

This is the (nested) spec used by the Homebrew source plugin:
  • concurrency (integer) (optional) (default: 50000)
    The best effort maximum number of Go routines to use. Lower this number to reduce memory usage.
