# npm
|
||
|
||
**Mode**: 🌐 Public · **Domain**: `registry.npmjs.org` (+ `api.npmjs.org` for download stats)
|
||
|
||
Search and inspect packages on the public npm registry without auth or browser. Three commands cover discovery, single-package metadata, and download stats.
|
||
|
||
## Commands
|
||
|
||
| Command | Description |
|
||
|---------|-------------|
|
||
| `opencli npm search <query>` | Search the public npm registry by keyword |
|
||
| `opencli npm package <name>` | Single-package registry metadata (latest version, license, repo, maintainers) |
|
||
| `opencli npm downloads <name>` | Download stats for one package over a fixed period or `YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD` range |
|
||
|
||
## Usage Examples
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# Search the registry
|
||
opencli npm search react --limit 10
|
||
opencli npm search "graphql client" --limit 20
|
||
|
||
# Inspect a single package (use `name` from search rows)
|
||
opencli npm package react
|
||
opencli npm package @vercel/og
|
||
|
||
# Download stats for a fixed period
|
||
opencli npm downloads react --period last-week
|
||
opencli npm downloads react --period last-month
|
||
opencli npm downloads react --period last-year
|
||
|
||
# Custom date range (max 365 days, npm API limit)
|
||
opencli npm downloads react --period 2025-01-01:2025-01-31
|
||
|
||
# JSON output
|
||
opencli npm package react -f json
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Output Columns
|
||
|
||
| Command | Columns |
|
||
|---------|---------|
|
||
| `search` | `rank, name, version, description, weeklyDownloads, dependents, license, publisher, updated, url` |
|
||
| `package` | `name, latestVersion, description, license, homepage, repository, bugs, maintainers, keywords, created, modified, url` |
|
||
| `downloads` | `rank, package, day, downloads` (range) or `rank, package, day, downloads` for fixed periods (single row, `day` = `last-week:start..end`) |
|
||
|
||
The `name` column from `search` round-trips into `package` and `downloads`.
|
||
|
||
## Options
|
||
|
||
### `search`
|
||
|
||
| Option | Description |
|
||
|--------|-------------|
|
||
| `query` (positional) | Free-text query (matches name / description / keywords / readme) |
|
||
| `--limit` | Max results (1–250, default: 20) |
|
||
|
||
### `package`
|
||
|
||
| Option | Description |
|
||
|--------|-------------|
|
||
| `name` (positional) | npm package name (e.g. `react`, `@vercel/og`). Validates 1–214 chars and the npm naming rule. |
|
||
|
||
### `downloads`
|
||
|
||
| Option | Description |
|
||
|--------|-------------|
|
||
| `name` (positional) | npm package name |
|
||
| `--period` | One of `last-day`, `last-week`, `last-month`, `last-year`, **or** a `YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD` range (default: `last-week`) |
|
||
|
||
## Caveats
|
||
|
||
- The `--period` argument is validated upfront — anything that's neither one of the four named periods nor a valid `YYYY-MM-DD:YYYY-MM-DD` range raises `ArgumentError` (no silent fallback).
|
||
- npm rate-limits the search and download APIs; `HTTP 429` surfaces as a typed `CommandExecutionError` with a retry hint.
|
||
- Download stats are intentionally a separate command from `package`. If the stats endpoint fails, the registry-metadata response from `package` is unaffected.
|
||
- The package-name regex matches `^(?:@scope\/)?name$` (lowercase letters / digits / `._-`), capped at 214 chars per npm's spec.
|
||
|
||
## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
- No browser required — uses public registry endpoints.
