Get Homebrew Formula
homebrew/get-formula
Returns one Homebrew core formula by name: description, licence, current version, dependencies by kind, source URL and SHA-256, bottle platforms, deprecation and disable status, and 30, 90 and 365 day install counts. Package data from Homebrew, https://formulae.brew.sh, the Homebrew formulae and cask index (formulae.brew.sh is maintained by the Homebrew project), reduced to the fields listed and served by Eden Engine; not an official Homebrew product. Install counts come from Homebrew's analytics, which users can opt out of.
