# npm Package Health Check: Maintenance & Deprecation

**Use case:** 

Dependency due-diligence data for express, lodash, axios, moment and request: releases in the last 90/365 days, days since last publish, maintainer count, provenance, TypeScript types, ESM, deprecation and unpacked size. For engineering teams auditing dependencies before adopting or upgrading them. Paste your own dependencies and schedule it to catch deprecations early.

```json
{
  "packages": [
    "express",

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [npm Package Intel — Downloads, Dependents, Health, Search](https://apify.com/yadroo/npm-package-intel.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/yadroo/npm-package-intel.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/yadroo/npm-package-intel.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
