An open API service providing package, version and dependency metadata of many open source software ecosystems and registries.

Use this service to...

  • Access package information from thousands of sources in a standard format
  • See how well used a package is, by other packages (transient dependencies) and repositories (direct dependencies)
  • Find all packages that depend on a specific library to assess impact of breaking changes
  • Identify unmaintained packages by checking last release date across ecosystems
  • Find alternative packages by exploring reverse dependencies and similar patterns
  • Find all packages published by an organization
  • Compare package versions to understand what changed in an update
  • Understand the merge rate of dependabot updates of your library
  • Track if your breaking changes are causing users to stick with old versions
