Software End-of-Life Checker for Your Version List

How to use it: 3 steps

1. Make a free Apify accountApify is the cloud platform where our tools run. The free plan gives you $5 of usage every month, no credit card needed. You pay Apify, not us.
2. Paste your input and press StartNo code needed: you fill in a form (the input). It already has a working example. For example: nodejs 18 in Software (product + version). Each start is one run.
3. Download the resultsWhen the run ends, the results are in a table (the dataset). Open Output, press Export and pick Excel or CSV. JSON and the API are there too.

This tool is an Apify Actor: a small program that runs on Apify. You can also run it on a schedule, for example every Monday. New to it? Read how it works, step by step and the 8 words you need first.

What it does

Software End-of-Life Checker checks your software versions against endoflife.date. Add product + version rows such as nodejs 18.20.4, python 3.8 or ubuntu 20.04, or a CSV. You get one row per version with the matched release cycle, the support phase on a date (active, security-only, extended, EOL), the end of active support, end of life (EOL) and end of extended support dates, LTS status, the latest patch and a near-EOL flag.

• Finds the product. It accepts endoflife.date names (nodejs), their aliases and common spellings (node, postgres, golang, Node.js). An unknown name gives an unknown_product row with suggestions. It is never guessed.
• Finds the release cycle. A cycle (18), a minor version (3.8) or a full patch (18.20.4, v18.20.4) all work. Codenames (focal) and release names (SQL Server 2019) work too. If a version fits several cycles (for example python 3), you get an ambiguous_version row with the candidates.
• Computes the support phase on the as-of date (today by default) and the days left to each date.
• Explains the match in matchExplanation, for example product "node" → nodejs (alias); version "18.20.4" → cycle 18 (prefix match).

Use it from code

Actor ID: cliqtomedia/software-end-of-life-checker. You need your Apify API token from Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("cliqtomedia/software-end-of-life-checker").call(run_input={
    "items": [
        "nodejs 18",
        "python 3.8",
        "postgresql 12",
        "ubuntu 20.04",
        "angular 15"
    ],
    "nearEolDays": 180
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cliqtomedia~software-end-of-life-checker/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"items": ["nodejs 18", "python 3.8", "postgresql 12", "ubuntu 20.04", "angular 15"], "nearEolDays": 180}'

# pip install langchain-apify
# set APIFY_TOKEN in your environment
from langchain_apify import ApifyActorsTool

tool = ApifyActorsTool("cliqtomedia/software-end-of-life-checker")
result = tool.invoke({"run_input": {"items": ["nodejs 18", "python 3.8", "postgresql 12", "ubuntu 20.04", "angular 15"], "nearEolDays": 180}})
print(result)

The cURL call waits for the results, up to 300 seconds. For longer runs, start a run (/runs) and get the results with a webhook or by checking the run. Apify API docs. LlamaIndex, MCP for AI agents and the JavaScript client: AI agents & MCP.
