# Strale Dependency Audit

> Strale Dependency Audit is a paid API for AI agents from api.strale.io, paid per call via x402, $0.054001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Audits npm (package.json) or Python (requirements.txt) dependencies by checking each package against its registry for latest version, deprecation status, and known vulnerabilities.

## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-547836ec
```

Example prompt: Can you audit my Node.js project's dependencies? Here's my package.json — check each package against the npm registry for outdated versions, deprecation warnings, and known vulnerabilities.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use dependency audit without setting up a local tool like npm audit or Safety. Ideal for CI pipelines, automated agents checking project health, or one-off scans where you can pass raw package.json or requirements.txt content as a string. Results are verifiable against actual npm and PyPI registries.

## Known failure modes

- Missing both package_json and requirements_txt parameters — no input to audit
- Malformed package.json or requirements.txt content causing parse errors
- Package not found on registry (e.g. private or scoped package) — skipped or error per entry
- Registry unavailable causing partial or failed lookups
- Very large dependency lists may hit timeout or size limits

## How this service works

Audit npm or Python dependencies. Checks each package against registry for latest version, deprecation, vulnerabilities. Verifiable against actual registries.

## Output

Returns a structured report for each package listing the current version declared, the latest version available on the registry, whether the package is deprecated, and any known vulnerabilities — enabling developers to identify security risks and outdated dependencies.

## Example request

```json
{
 "package_json": "{ \"name\": \"test-project\", \"version\": \"1.0.0\", \"dependencies\": { \"express\": \"4.17.1\", \"lodash\": \"4.17.21\", \"axios\": \"0.21.1\" }, \"devDependencies\": { \"jest\": \"27.0.6\" } }"
}
