Winget Package Index

When I (Stephan) started with WinTuner it was working only on Windows. One of the reason was that it used to start a new Process that called WinGet to load the latest version of a specific package.

Then came the idea to parse the package file and to pre-generate a winget package index.

Index in WinTuner

Used automatically

You don't have to do anything to start using this package index. It's used automatically because it's way faster then starting a separate process.

This package index made WinTuner less depended upon Windows.

Index files

You can use the index in your own application, by using any of these sources:

Kind	Online link	Download URL
CSV v2 *	index.v2.csv *	https://github.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/raw/main/index.v2.csv
JSON v2	index.v2.json	https://github.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/raw/main/index.v2.json
CSV	index.csv	https://github.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/raw/main/index.csv
JSON	index.json	https://github.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/raw/main/index.json

The * indicates the file is to big to view in the browser, searching in it does not work in the browser. Want to search in the browser? Use the index.csv file.

Refreshing the Index

The open-source index files are periodically updated by this GitHub Action. The current refresh schedule is: cron: '24 */4 * * *'
