| package_health | Is this package alive? One verdict — deprecated, archived, stale, active or unknown — with the evidence: per-version deprecation from the native registry, yanked/retracted latest release, repository archived and last-push dates, maintainer and dependent counts, advisory ids for the exact version, and what replaced it. Use when choosing, pinning or upgrading a dependency in npm, PyPI, crates.io, RubyGems, Go, Maven, NuGet or Packagist. |
| deps_audit | Health verdict for every package in a manifest or a list, in one call (≤25 packages): deprecated / archived / stale / active / unknown per package with the latest version, release and push ages, advisory counts and replacements, plus a summary. Use when reviewing a repository's package.json or requirements.txt before an upgrade, an audit or a fork decision. |
| runtime_eol | Support and end-of-life dates for a runtime, OS, database or framework version from endoflife.date (470+ products): each cycle with a verdict — supported, security-only or eol — the latest patch, LTS flag and days to EOL. Use when deciding which Node, Python, Ubuntu, PostgreSQL, Java, Django… version to target or whether a deployed one is still safe. |
