I need a database of all Mac models produced within the last decade (at least). Something like EveryMac or MacTracker but as a table in SQL or a similar format, to be put into a RDBMS.

Does anybody know where I can get / buy one?

    Did you contact the author of either of these applications whether they are willing to give you the data? – nohillside Nov 25 '12 at 20:08
  • MacTracker's developer did not reply to my email. I also wonder where did he get his data from in the first place. – Dae Nov 25 '12 at 22:13

Try MacTracker. It's available in the App Store and Mac App Store. I hit enter before I finished thinking through my answer. What info do you need, Model Numbers or Model Names?

Over at apple-history.com you can download the html of their Mactracker-like information. Probably wouldn't too terribly difficult to scrape your info from it. Below is an example of the html you can download from them...

  • I haven't found model names (like MacBookPro5,1) and model numbers (MB470LL/A) there, but this is very useful, thank you! – Dae Nov 26 '12 at 09:38
