AFAIK, once you know where the data is, it is JSON. For example:
<https://data.guix.gnu.org/repository/1/branch/master/package/emacs/output-history.json>
The issue is to know what is the API. Once you know it, you do not need
“shiny browser interface” to get them. For a simple example, see:
<https://yhetil.org/guix/86mu0rt95k.fsf@gmail.com/>
Having the API documented with plain words would be nice. Help welcome! :-)

I have always mixed feeling about tags. Well, it depends on what you
name ’tags’ and what you want to search for.
All the best,
