Support for "last updated" dates by package

[jaraco]

I know this project focuses on "downloads", but I wonder if the Bigtable also has info on when a package was last uploaded. I'd like to be able to query for all packages that were updated in a given time horizon in order to efficiently refresh a database mapping import names to packages.

Is that in the scope of this project? Is there a good way to explore the data schema to see what data might already be available?

Thanks for any advice.

You can get this directly from the PyPI JSON API without needing to set up or use BigQuery quota:

https://pypi.org/pypi/norwegianblue/json

For example:

>>> import json, requests
>>> package = "norwegianblue"
>>> url = f"https://pypi.org/pypi/{package}/json"
>>> response = requests.get(url)
>>> response.raise_for_status()
>>> data = json.loads(response.content)
>>> for url in data["urls"]:
...     print(url["upload_time"])
...
