Packages

RepoPulse SDKs and comprehensive intelligence for Rust, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Python packages.

SDK Usage

RepoPulse client libraries for programmatic access to repository and package intelligence.

Rust

cargo add repopulse
use repopulse::RepoPulseClient;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = RepoPulseClient::new();
    let repo = client.get_repo("octocat", "Hello-World").await?;
    println!("Health Score: {}", repo.health_score.overall);
    Ok(())
}

Python

pip install repopulse
from repopulse import RepoPulseClient

client = RepoPulseClient()
repo = client.get_repo("octocat", "Hello-World")
print(f"Health Score: {repo.health_score.overall}")

JavaScript/TypeScript

npm install repopulse
import { RepoPulseClient } from 'repopulse';

const client = new RepoPulseClient();
const repo = await client.getRepo('octocat', 'Hello-World');
console.log(`Health Score: ${repo.healthScore.overall}`);

Analysis Metrics

Download Trends

High Priority

Track download patterns over time

Calculation:Weekly/monthly download aggregations
Insight:Identifies adoption trends and popularity changes

Release Cadence

High Priority

Frequency and regularity of version releases

Calculation:Time intervals between releases
Insight:Indicates maintenance activity and development velocity

Dependency Health

Medium Priority

Analysis of dependency tree and relationships

Calculation:Dependency count, update status, security issues
Insight:Assesses maintenance burden and potential vulnerabilities

Maintainer Activity

High Priority

Activity level of package maintainers

Calculation:Maintainer count, update frequency, response times
Insight:Evaluates long-term sustainability and support quality

Version Stability

Medium Priority

Stability of version releases and breaking changes

Calculation:Semantic versioning analysis, breaking change frequency
Insight:Helps assess API stability and upgrade difficulty

Package Insights

Rule-based insights that highlight important aspects of package health and maintenance.

Maintenance Risk

High Risk
Trigger:Package not updated in 12+ months
Recommended Action:Consider alternative packages or contribute updates

Dependency Burden

Medium Risk
Trigger:50+ dependencies or complex dependency tree
Recommended Action:Evaluate necessity of dependencies, consider lighter alternatives

Low Adoption

Low Risk
Trigger:Fewer than 100 weekly downloads
Recommended Action:Assess package maturity and community interest

Version Instability

Medium Risk
Trigger:Frequent breaking changes or irregular versioning
Recommended Action:Plan for frequent updates and testing

Maintainer Bottleneck

High Risk
Trigger:Single maintainer or inactive maintainer team
Recommended Action:Consider contributing or finding well-maintained alternatives
