NPM Package Metadata Extractor

Pull package details and statistics from the official NPM Registry for dependency audits, technology research, and supply-chain analysis. Feed it a list of package names and get back descriptions, latest versions, licenses, authors, keywords, and dependency counts — all from the public registry API without authentication.

Features

  • Bulk extraction — analyze dozens of NPM packages in a single run
  • Official registry — queries registry.npmjs.org directly for accurate, up-to-date data
  • Rich metadata — extracts description, version, license, author, homepage, repository, keywords, and dependency count
  • Repository linking — automatically cleans and normalizes Git repository URLs
  • No auth required — uses the public NPM registry API
  • Pay-per-result pricing — only pay for packages analyzed, with charge-limit safety

  • latestVersion (string) — latest published version
  • license (string) — license type (e.g. MIT, Apache-2.0)
