# Packagist API > The Packagist.org registry — the package ecosystem of PHP and Composer — as an API. Look up any package (vendor/package, e.g. monolog/monolog, laravel/framework, symfony/console) for its description, type, total/monthly/daily download counts, GitHub stars, forks and open issues, number of dependents, latest stable version and its PHP requirement; search the registry by keyword and tag; and list a package's full version history (newest stable first). Live from the official Packagist API. Ideal for package dashboards, dependency and supply-chain tooling, developer portals and PHP ecosystem analytics. Open data from Packagist.org. ## Authentication All requests require your oanor API key in the `x-oanor-key` header. Get one at https://www.oanor.com/developer/keys. ```bash curl -H "x-oanor-key: oanor_live_…" "https://api.oanor.com/packagist-api/..." ``` ## Pricing - **Free** (Free) — 3,600 calls/Mo, 2 req/s - **Starter** ($4/Mo) — 48,600 calls/Mo, 8 req/s - **Pro** ($12/Mo) — 238,800 calls/Mo, 20 req/s - **Mega** ($34/Mo) — 1,197,000 calls/Mo, 50 req/s ## Endpoints ### Packagist #### `GET /v1/package` — Full metadata for a package **Parameters:** - `name` (query, required, string) — vendor/package, e.g. monolog/monolog Example: `monolog/monolog` **Example:** ```bash curl -H "x-oanor-key: $KEY" \ "https://api.oanor.com/packagist-api/v1/package?name=monolog%2Fmonolog" ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "package": { "name": "monolog/monolog", "type": "library", "language": "PHP", "downloads": { "daily": 326529, "total": 997413442, "monthly": 15209900 }, "dependents": 8335, "repository": "https://github.com/Seldaek/monolog", "suggesters": 615, "description": "Sends your logs to files, sockets, inboxes, databases and various web services", "github_forks": 1905, "github_stars": 21388, "packagist_url": "https://packagist.org/packages/monolog/monolog", "version_count": 99, "latest_license": [ "MIT" ], "latest_version": "3.10.0", "github_open_issues": 29, "latest_requires_php": ">=8.1" } }, "meta": { "timestamp": "2026-05-31T10:58:19.052Z", "request_id": "6d47c776-302e-45ee-af82-c39bb0795dda" }, "status": "ok", "message": "Package retrieved", "success": true } ``` #### `GET /v1/search` — Search the registry **Parameters:** - `q` (query, required, string) — Search term Example: `http` - `tags` (query, optional, string) — Filter by a Composer tag - `limit` (query, optional, string) — Results per page (1-100, default 20) Example: `20` - `page` (query, optional, string) — Page number Example: `1` **Example:** ```bash curl -H "x-oanor-key: $KEY" \ "https://api.oanor.com/packagist-api/v1/search?q=http&limit=20&page=1" ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "page": 1, "count": 20, "limit": 20, "query": "http", "total": 11311, "results": [ { "url": "https://packagist.org/packages/guzzlehttp/guzzle", "name": "guzzlehttp/guzzle", "favers": 24297, "downloads": 1026009839, "repository": "https://github.com/guzzle/guzzle", "description": "Guzzle is a PHP HTTP client library" }, { "url": "https://packagist.org/packages/psr/http-message", "name": "psr/http-message", "favers": 7131, "downloads": 1063161505, "repository": "https://github.com/php-fig/http-message", "description": "Common interface for HTTP messages" }, { "url": "https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/http-kernel", "name": "symfony/http-kernel", "favers": 8141, "downloads": 852919438, "repository": "https://github.com/symfony/http-kernel", "description": "Provides a structured process for converting a Request into a Response" }, { "url": "https://packagist.org/packages/symfony/http-foundation", "name": "symfony/http-foundation", "favers": 8709, "downloads": 909811841, …(truncated, see openapi.json for full schema) ``` #### `GET /v1/versions` — Version history of a package **Parameters:** - `name` (query, required, string) — vendor/package, e.g. monolog/monolog Example: `monolog/monolog` - `limit` (query, optional, string) — Max versions (1-300, default 50) Example: `50` **Example:** ```bash curl -H "x-oanor-key: $KEY" \ "https://api.oanor.com/packagist-api/v1/versions?name=monolog%2Fmonolog&limit=50" ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "count": 50, "total": 99, "package": "monolog/monolog", "versions": [ { "php": ">=8.1", "license": [ "MIT" ], "version": "3.10.0", "released": "2026-01-02T08:56:05+00:00", "normalized": "3.10.0.0" }, { "php": ">=8.1", "license": [ "MIT" ], "version": "3.9.0", "released": "2025-03-24T10:02:05+00:00", "normalized": "3.9.0.0" }, { "php": ">=8.1", "license": [ "MIT" ], "version": "3.8.1", "released": "2024-12-05T17:15:07+00:00", "normalized": "3.8.1.0" }, { "php": ">=8.1", "license": [ "MIT" ], "version": "3.8.0", "released": "2024-11-12T13:57:08+00:00", "normalized": "3.8.0.0" }, { "php": ">=8.1", "license": [ "MIT" ], "version": "3.7.0", "released": "2024-06-28T09:40:51+00:00", "normalized": "3.7.0.0" }, { "php": ">= …(truncated, see openapi.json for full schema) ``` ### Meta #### `GET /v1/meta` — Source & endpoints **Example:** ```bash curl -H "x-oanor-key: $KEY" \ "https://api.oanor.com/packagist-api/v1/meta" ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "note": "Live Packagist registry data. /v1/package = full metadata (description, type, downloads, GitHub stars/forks, dependents, latest version + PHP requirement) for a vendor/package; /v1/search = search the registry; /v1/versions = the version list of a package (newest first).
