Frequently asked questions

How is this different from a basic marketplace list?

Every record carries the full version history with dates, the complete rating breakdown, the dependency and extension-pack lists, and direct repository, license, changelog and Q&A links, not just installs and a rating.

What does versionHistory contain?

The recent releases for the extension, each with its version string, publish date and target platform, so you can see how often it ships.

Can I focus on one category or topic?

Yes. Use a search keyword, a category such as `Linters` or `Machine Learning`, or both together to narrow the results.

How fresh is the data?

Everything is read live at run time, so each record reflects the listing at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
