🐳 Docker Hub Tags Scraper

🚀 Export public Docker Hub repository tags in seconds. Size, digest, architecture, OS, and per-manifest layer metadata.

The Docker Hub Tags Scraper turns the public hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/{namespace}/{name}/tags endpoint into a clean dataset. It paginates the full tag list of any public repository, flattens each tag's multi-architecture manifest, and lets you filter by name, architecture, or operating system.

Use it to track image release cadence, audit container supply chains, or pull a quick snapshot of which architectures a base image supports.

🎯 Target Audience 💡 Primary Use Cases
🛡️ Container security teams Audit which tags ship which digests
🚀 DevOps engineers Track upstream image releases
🏗️ Platform teams Validate multi-arch coverage for base images
📊 Cloud cost teams Map image sizes across tags
🧪 Researchers Study how popular images evolve over time
👩‍💻 Developers Find the right tag for a new dependency

📋 What the Docker Hub Tags Scraper does

  • Paginates https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/{repo}/tags with the public unauthenticated API.
  • Flattens the per-tag images array so each row carries a primary architecture, OS, and digest.
  • Keeps the full per-manifest array as a nested field for multi-arch analysis.
  • Filters by tag name substring, architecture, or OS at the scraper level.
  • Surfaces upstream HTTP failures as a single diagnostic record.
  • Exports to every Apify dataset format.

💡 Why it matters: Docker Hub's REST endpoint is public but its multi-arch shape is awkward. This actor flattens it so you can answer questions like "which arm64 tags shipped this week" with a SQL query.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: architecture, digest, fullSize, lastUpdated, name, os, repository, results, scrapedAt. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: Anonymous calls to Docker Hub are rate-limited per IP. The actor automatically respects pagination.

🚀 How to use
