Package Health runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 322 installs a week from npm. Last commit 22 Oct 2026.
Is this dependency still maintained? Scores npm, PyPI packages and GitHub repos 0-100.
Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check Package Health every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
