The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## npm Package Dependency Intelligence Analyze npm packages from the official `registry.npmjs.org` packument endpoint and export flattened rows for package summaries, version metadata, dependency declarations, maintainer hints, release cadence, and package hygiene signals. This actor is built for direct package watchlists. It does not scrape npmjs.com HTML pages. ### Inputs | Field | Default | Notes | |---|---:|---| | `packages` | required | npm package names such as `react`, `vite`, `express`, or `@types/node`. | | `includeVersionHistory` | `true` | Emit `package_version` rows. When false, only the latest version row is emitted. | | `includeDevDependencies` | `true` | Include `devDependencies` from emitted versions. | | `maxVersionRowsPerPackage` | `100` | Cap version rows per package. | | `maxDependencyRowsPerPackage` | `250` | Cap dependency rows per package across emitted versions. | | `concurrency` | `5` | Parallel package fetches. | | `timeoutMs` | `15000` | Per-request timeout in ms. | | `delivery` | `dataset` | `dataset` or `webhook`. | | `webhookUrl` | empty | Required when `delivery=webhook`. | | `dryRun` | `false` | Skip dataset and webhook delivery. | ### Dataset Rows The dataset is flattened so it can be filtered and joined without unpacking one large object. `package_summary` - `packageName`, `normalizedPackageName`, `requestedName`, `status` - `latestVersion`, `description`, `license`, `homepage`, `repositoryUrl`, `bugsUrl` - `keywords`, `author`, `maintainers`, `publisher`, `distTags` - `versionCount`, `emittedVersionCount`, `firstPublishedAt`, `latestPublishedAt`, `modifiedAt` - `releaseCadenceDays`, `dependencyCount`, `emittedDependencyCount` - `nodeEngine`, `deprecated`, `warnings`, `fetchedAt` `package_version` - `packageName`, `version`, `publishedAt`, `distTags`, `isLatest` - `license`, `nodeEngine`, `deprecated` - dependency group counts - `tarballUrl`, `shasum`, `integrity`, `unpackedSize`, `fetchedAt` `dependency` - `packageName`, `packageVersion` - `dependencyName`, `normalizedDependencyName` - `dependencyGroup` such as `runtime`, `development`, `peer`, `optional`, or `bundled` - `versionSpec`, `rawSpec`, `optional`, `bundled`, `fetchedAt` ### Example Input ```json { "packages": ["react", "vite", "@types/node"], "includeVersionHistory": true, "includeDevDependencies": true, "maxVersionRowsPerPackage": 25, "maxDependencyRowsPerPackage": 250, "concurrency": 3, "timeoutMs": 15000, "delivery": "dataset", "webhookUrl": "", "dryRun": false } ```` ### Local Development ```bash npm install npm test node src/index.js ``` `output/result.json` contains the full payload for local inspection. On Apify, dataset delivery writes the flattened rows. ### Limitations - V1 is direct package lookup only; npm search and npmjs.com HTML pages are out of scope. - Dependency declarations come from published package metadata in `registry.npmjs.org/{package}`. - Historical dependency rows are capped by `maxVersionRowsPerPackage` and `maxDependencyRowsPerPackage`. # Actor input Schema ## `packages` (type: `array`): npm package names such as react, vite, express, or @types/node. ## `includeVersionHistory` (type: `boolean`): Emit package\_version rows. When disabled, only the latest version row is emitted. ## `includeDevDependencies` (type: `boolean`): Include devDependencies from emitted package versions. ## `maxVersionRowsPerPackage` (type: `integer`): Maximum package\_version rows to emit per package. ## `maxDependencyRowsPerPackage` (type: `integer`): Maximum dependency rows to emit per package across emitted versions. ## `concurrency` (type: `integer`): Number of npm package registry requests to run in parallel. ## `timeoutMs` (type: `integer`): HTTP request timeout for registry.npmjs.org calls. ## `delivery` (type: `string`): Where to send results. Webhook delivery does not also push dataset rows. ## `webhookUrl` (type: `string`): Webhook URL to POST the full normalized payload to when delivery=webhook. ## `dryRun` (type: `boolean`): Run without pushing rows to the dataset or webhook. ## Actor input object example ```json { "packages": [ "react", "vite", "@types/node" ], "includeVersionHistory": true, "includeDevDependencies": true, "maxVersionRowsPerPackage": 100, "maxDependencyRowsPerPackage": 250, "concurrency": 5, "timeoutMs": 15000, "delivery": "dataset", "dryRun": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "packages": [ "react", "vite", "@types/node" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("taroyamada/npm-package-dependency-intelligence").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`ðŸ’ū Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
