PyPI XMLRPC Search endpoint remains disabled due to ongoing request volume
- guerby 6y agoMore details here: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5216#issuecomment-744605466 https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/5216#issuecomment-7446054... "PyPI is shutting down the API that pip search used, because the design of that API was such that it made it easy for people to overwhelm and take down PyPI as a whole using that API. The pip search command doesn't work without that API, and we don't have a way to restore 1:1 functionality without it."
