Look up the latest stable version, total/monthly/daily downloads, GitHub stats, and runtime dependencies for any PHP Composer package, via the official Packagist API.
Built for DevOps and PHP tooling teams tracking dependency health and adoption without checking packagist.org by hand.
Input
{"packageNames": ["laravel/framework", "symfony/console"]}
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
packageNames | array of strings | One or more Composer package names in "vendor/package" form. Default ["laravel/framework"]. |
Output
One record per requested package:
{"packageName": "laravel/framework","found": true,"description": "The Laravel Framework.","totalDownloads": 565601144,"monthlyDownloads": 13469719,"dailyDownloads": 611954,"githubStars": 34875,"githubForks": 11953,"githubOpenIssues": 97,"dependentsCount": 20820,"latestStableVersion": "v13.26.1","latestVersionReleasedAt": "2026-08-18T20:32:11+00:00","latestVersionLicense": ["MIT"],"homepageUrl": "https://laravel.com","runtimeRequire": [{ "name": "php", "requirement": "^8.3" }]}
An unrecognized package name returns
{ "packageName": "...", "found": false } rather than failing the
whole run. "Latest stable version" excludes dev branches (e.g.
dev-master, 13.x-dev) — Packagist's own version-ordering metadata
treats dev branches as sorting above every tagged release, which
would otherwise silently report a branch name instead of a real
version.
How it works
Direct calls to the official packagist.org/packages endpoint — no
proxy, no key, no scraping.
Pricing note
Billed per lookup (one run) at a flat rate, regardless of how many package names are requested.
