How this service works
Deterministic package existence for PyPI and npm, built from real published artifacts (never LLM guesses). Negative answers and typosquat-adjacency flags carry signed proof. $0.002 USDC per check.
Output
A boolean or status result indicating whether the specified package exists in the target registry, potentially accompanied by basic package metadata if found.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you check whether a package called 'fastjson' exists in the npm registry?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://attester.dev/v1/package/existsWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify whether a software package exists in a registry before referencing it as a dependency, generating code that imports it, or checking if a package name is already taken. Prefer this over manual registry browsing or web scraping when you need a structured, machine-readable boolean answer with low latency.
Side effects
- Unknown or unsupported package ecosystem returns an error
- Malformed package name yields a validation error
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC causes 402 rejection
- Registry temporarily unavailable causes a timeout or 503
- Package name with special characters may cause parsing errors
