Get library data

Libraries
1

Hey I am writing a platformIO wrapper for neovim.
I wanted to ask is there a way to get data for all the library available in josn format like you get data for all available board by using the command pio pkg --json-output

You mean you want to retrieve all existing libraries in the PlatformIO registry (https://registry.platformio.org/)? Which are like… a lot?

Or the ones installed in the project?

Yeah I wanted to retrieve all existing libraries, but now it sounds stupid. Do you know how to get the data in json by giving a search query, like I want output of this pio pkg search in json

See core code.

Example:

curl 'https://api.registry.platformio.org/v3/search?query="ArduinoJson"&page=1&limit=1'

{
  "page": 1,
  "limit": 1,
  "total": 145,

        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

(The output is paginated with a limit of 50 max items for each page).
