I believe you’re looking for the PEP 503 simple API. This is what pip uses to find the hashes (among other things) as well. The hash value is included as a fragment in the URL.

Hi all,

When in the "Download files" section of a project on PyPI, next to each download there is a convenient "SHA256" link that will copy the SHA-256 fingerprint for that file to the clipboard. I am wondering if there is a programmatic way to access the SHA-256 for a file (besides just scraping the web page)? Ideally there would be some way to construct a URL based on the name of the file that, when called, would return the fingerprint.

Thanks,
Eric
