Hi,

On the website there is a lot of nice tabular information for specific software packages under the "Details" section. Is there an API to access this information or alternatively is it pulled from a database that is publicly available?

Thanks, Justin

Except for the "Depends on Me", "Imports Me" and "Suggests Me" entries, the other information is available at the R prompt by packageDescription(packagename), for example

packageDescription("limma")

You can get this information using the BiocPkgTools package. Take a look at Section 4 of https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/BiocPkgTools/inst/doc/BiocPkgTools.html
