Version, dependency, and download lookups for the major package registries. All are keyless JSON.

| Ecosystem | Latest version | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| npm | `https://registry.npmjs.org/PACKAGE/latest` | Full document at `/PACKAGE` (large for popular packages). Weekly downloads: `https://api.npmjs.org/downloads/point/last-week/PACKAGE`. |
| PyPI | `https://pypi.org/pypi/PACKAGE/json` | `info.version` is latest; `releases` lists all. Per-version: `/pypi/PACKAGE/VERSION/json`. |
| crates.io | `https://crates.io/api/v1/crates/NAME` | Requires a User-Agent with contact info. `crate.max_stable_version`. |
| Go | `https://proxy.golang.org/MODULE/@latest` | Module path must be lower-cased with `!` escapes for capitals. `/@v/list` lists versions. |
| RubyGems | `https://rubygems.org/api/v1/gems/NAME.json` | `version` is latest. Versions: `/api/v1/versions/NAME.json`. |
| Maven Central | `https://search.maven.org/solrsearch/select?q=g:GROUP+AND+a:ARTIFACT&rows=1&wt=json` | `latestVersion` in the first doc. |
| NuGet | `https://api.nuget.org/v3-flatcontainer/PACKAGE/index.json` | Package ID lower-cased; `versions` array. |
| Docker Hub | `https://hub.docker.com/v2/repositories/NAMESPACE/IMAGE/tags?page_size=25` | Use `library` as the namespace for official images. |
| Homebrew | `https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula/NAME.json` | `versions.stable`. |

## Tips

- Cache aggressively. Registry metadata changes rarely, and popular npm documents are megabytes.
- Record the exact version string and the fetch date on the task page; "latest" is not an answer.
- Vulnerability data: the OSV API, `POST https://api.osv.dev/v1/query` with `{"package":{"name":"...","ecosystem":"npm"},"version":"..."}`, is keyless.
