How this service works
npm package card from the official registry: latest or a given version, description, license, maintainers, keywords, repository, dependencies count and publish dates. Required: name; optional: version. Cached.
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the package SKU, name, found status, scope, author, license, current version, deprecated flag, deprecation reason, description, maintainers list (names and emails), and normalized package name.
Example use cases
Verify package before dependency install
“Before I add it to my project, can you check the npm registry for 'lodash' — I want to know the latest version, who maintains it, and whether it's been deprecated?”
Audit open source license compliance
“I need to check the license for the 'axios' npm package — can you pull its registry entry and tell me what license it uses and who the author is?”
Confirm package exists and get its description
“Can you look up 'react-query' on the npm registry and confirm it exists, then give me the current version and a short description of what it does?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.maxwellinternational.ai/v1/registry/npm?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to npm package metadata without relying on the public npm registry API directly — useful for agents that need to verify package details, check deprecation status, or audit license and authorship information as part of an automated workflow.
Side effects
- Package not found — 'found' field returns false with no metadata
- Invalid package name format causes a 400 error
- Network or upstream npm registry unavailability causes a 500 or timeout
- Deprecated packages still return data but with deprecated=true and a deprecatedReason field
