npm Package Info — Metadata & Downloads

Fetch npm package metadata (version, license, repository, dependencies, maintainers, publish dates) plus download counts, from the public npm registry. No auth.

Built reliability-first: every row reports what was found and what was missing — you never get a silent blank, and a run summary tells you exactly what happened.

What you get

Field	Description
name	Name
latestVersion	Latest Version
license	License
repository	Repository
dependencies	Dependencies
lastPublished	Last Published
npmUrl	Npm Url
maintenanceHealth	Maintenance health (0-100)
abandonmentRisk	Abandonment risk
daysSincePublish	Days since publish
hasTypeScriptTypes	Has TS types
unpackedSizeBytes	Unpacked size (bytes)
fileCount	File count

How to use it

1. Fill in the input (see the example below).
2. Run it once for a snapshot, or schedule it to keep the data fresh.
3. Export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or push straight to Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make, or n8n.

  "packages": [
    "react",

Typical uses

• Dependency audits — license/version/maintainer overview across many packages.
• Popularity research — download counts to compare libraries.
• Supply-chain checks — deprecation and last-publish dates.

Pricing

$0.50 / 1,000 results ($0.0005 per result), plus a near-zero start fee. You are never charged beyond your limit, and blocked or failed items are reported honestly — not billed as data.

FAQ & limitations

• Public data only — no login walls, no cookies required.
• Rate limits on the source may require the proxy or a retry on very large pulls.
• Every row reports its own status, so partial results are always labeled, never faked.
• Integrations: output works with Zapier, Make, n8n, and any webhook via Apify's integrations.
• Formats: results export as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML from the dataset.
