I see. Thank you very much for this piece of information ! And I'm
relieved to know everything is fine with the UMC Utrecht instance.

Hi,

This JSON file sounds nice and useful. By the way, it may only be a
transient error but the instance of hpcguix-web running at UMC Utrecht
mentioned in the github repos seems to be down
(https://hpcguix.op.umcutrecht.nl/). Is it supposed to be so ?

It runs hpcguix-web¹, which exposes a big (but gzipped) JSON file at

client-side JavaScript code.

I can comment on that because I worked at UMC Utrecht and set this particular 
instance up.
It only responds to certain IP addresses (those within the IP range of UMC 
Utrecht).

So this is normal.

Hi,

This JSON file sounds nice and useful. By the way, it may only be a
transient error but the instance of hpcguix-web running at UMC Utrecht
mentioned in the github repos seems to be down
(https://hpcguix.op.umcutrecht.nl/). Is it supposed to be so ?

I do not know.

Unrelated naive question, what is the aim to have an API for packages?

Guix Package Search API Server

[Sai Karthik]

Hello everyone!, I was unable to find any API for querying guix package 
info on official guix website. So, I have created a very simple REST API 
server for searching/querying package info in Javascript. It parses the 
package info from https://guix.gnu.org/packages.json file & returns the 
results.


It currently uses Deno runtime to execute. I have just started learning 
guile, So, i will try to recreate this in guile as well, Once i am 
confident :)


Project URL:  https://gitlab.com/kskarthik/guix-packages-api

I have documented it's usage too. Feel free to explore it & let me know 
your thoughts!
