About

Searches the Visual Studio Code Marketplace via Microsoft's official public gallery API (marketplace.visualstudio.com/_apis/public/gallery/extensionquery, api-version=3.0-preview.1) — a structured JSON POST endpoint, no key and no HTML parsing.

For every extension you get the identifier (publisher.name), display name, publisher with verified-domain status, install count, average + weighted rating, rating count, trending scores, current version, last-updated and first-published dates, categories, tags, short description, repository link and marketplace URL. Sort by relevance, installs, rating, last update or publish date.

Input

`queries`* array	Search terms, one per line (extension names, keywords, or publisher names).
`maxPerQuery` integer	Maximum extensions to collect for each query.(default: 25)
`sortBy` select	Result ordering.(default: "relevance")

{
  "queries": [
    "python",
    "docker"
  ],
  "maxPerQuery": 10,
  "sortBy": "installs"
}
