How this service works
Ask about any company or Québec contractor and get a verdict grounded in official registries, not guesses. Plus web search that reads the pages for you. Pay per call, no account.
Output
A JSON object containing the package name, ecosystem, latest version, resolved version, license identifier, deprecation boolean, weekly download count, and a boolean indicating whether the package contains install scripts.
Example use cases
Pre-install package vetting
“Before we add axios to our project, can you check its npm metadata — latest version, license, and whether it's deprecated?”
PyPI dependency audit
“Pull the metadata for numpy on PyPI — I need the current version, license type, and whether it has any install scripts.”
Checking if a package is still maintained
“Is the grunt npm package still active, or is it deprecated? What's its latest version and weekly download count?”

Endpoint
POSThttps://tolca.tonbot.ca/v1/pkg-meta?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, structured metadata about a specific npm or PyPI package without setting up a registry API account or subscription. It is ideal for agents that need to verify a package's license, deprecation status, or version in a single cheap pay-per-call request, especially in CI/CD pipelines, dependency audits, or supply-chain checks.
Side effects
- Package not found in the specified ecosystem — returns an error or empty result
- Invalid ecosystem value (not 'npm' or 'PyPI') — schema validation error
- Version string does not exist for the package — may return null or error for resolved_version
- Registry temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout or error propagated
- Malformed package name — rejected at input validation
