How this service works
Pay-per-call data tools for developers and AI agents: company registers, documents, tenders, rates and on-chain facts as MCP tools, x402 endpoints and Apify Actors.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the checked package name, ecosystem, checked version, latest published version, whether the checked version is the latest, a deprecation notice if applicable, a list of vulnerabilities (each with GHSA/CVE IDs, summary, severity, published date, and first fixed version), a total vulnerability count, the data source attribution, and the timestamp of the check.
Example use cases
Pre-install dependency security check
“Before I add requests version 2.28.0 from PyPI to my project, can you check if it has any known vulnerabilities and whether there's a safer version I should use instead?”
CI pipeline vulnerability gate
“Scan the npm package express at version 4.18.1 for any known CVEs or high-severity security issues — I need to decide if it's safe to ship.”
Audit legacy codebase packages
“We're still running lodash 4.17.19 in production — can you pull up all known vulnerabilities for that npm package and tell me the minimum version I'd need to upgrade to in order to fix them?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.ambolt.dev/v1/package-vulnerabilities?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call programmatic vulnerability check for a specific npm or PyPI package without setting up a full security scanning pipeline. It's ideal for AI agents doing pre-install checks, CI gatekeeping, or auditing individual dependencies on demand. Prefer it over running local tools (e.g. npm audit) when operating in a serverless or agent context without local package install access. The OSV.dev data source covers a broad range of CVEs and GitHub Security Advisories.
Side effects
- Invalid package name format — returns error if name doesn't match allowed pattern
- Package not found in the specified ecosystem — may return empty results or error
- Version string doesn't exist — endpoint may fall back to latest or return an error
- Unsupported ecosystem value — only 'npm' and 'PyPI' are accepted
- Transient OSV.dev upstream unavailability — may cause delayed or failed responses
- Payment failure (x402) — call not executed if USDC payment not settled
