Requests

sent from your browser, in order

1GET/packages?qServer-rendered search results page /packages?q=…; read-only GET. Each result is div.packages-item with a title link (h3.packages-title), a description, a version link whose title reads 'Visit <name> <version> page' and a pub points score.

Parameters

Anything else is blocked by the extension.

Reads from your session

Nothing. Your browser attaches the site's cookies by itself.

Used only in requests to the addresses on the left. Never sent to wield.run or your agent.

Checks

a run passes when

length(output.packages) > `0`
length(output.packages[?starts_with(url, 'https://pub.dev/packages/')]) == length(output.packages)
length(output.packages[?name != `null`]) == length(output.packages)
length(output.packages[?version != `null`]) > `0`

Raw recipe

Served as canonical JSON from /api/v1/recipes/pub.dev/search-packages, so its sha256 matches the ETag and the index.
