# Saylor Innovations Debian Package Lookup

> Saylor Innovations Debian Package Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from saylorinnovations.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-23).

Returns version of a Debian source package across all suites (stable, testing, sid), version count, VCS link, tracker URL, and lines of code by language

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability saylor-innovations-debian-package-lookup-19ed99ec
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Debian source package 'curl' and tell me what version is in stable, testing, and sid, plus its VCS link and how the code breaks down by language?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call lookup for a Debian source package that returns version information across all active suites simultaneously, plus metadata like VCS link, tracker URL, and code language statistics. It is ideal for Debian-focused tooling, package auditing, or open-source research workflows where multi-suite version comparison is needed in one step.

## Known failure modes

- Package name not found — returns 404 or empty result if the package does not exist in Debian
- Misspelled package name — no fuzzy matching, exact name required
- Package exists upstream but not yet in Debian — no data returned
- Transient upstream data availability issues from the Debian infrastructure

## How this service works

Debian source package lookup - version in every suite (stable, testing, sid), version count, VCS link, tracker URL and lines of code by language

## Output

Returns a structured response including the package version in each Debian suite (stable, testing, sid and others), total version count, a VCS repository link, the Debian tracker URL, and a breakdown of lines of code by programming language.
