Open the right note under `references/` based on what you need. ## Start here (fast) - Need the latest/default version of a known package? Read: `references/latest-version.md`. - Handling huge version lists or truncated responses? Read: `references/large-responses.md`. - Not sure how to format/normalize package names per ecosystem? Read: `references/naming-and-encoding.md`. - Need endpoint shapes and fields to parse? Read: `references/api.md`. ## Primary recipe (one request) Goal: given `{system, packageName}`, return the default/latest version. - Call **GetPackage**: `GET https://api.deps.dev/v3/systems/{SYSTEM}/packages/{PACKAGE}` - Parse `versions[]` and select the item with `isDefault=true`. If `isDefault` is missing for all versions, **stop** and ask for an explicit selection rule (e.g., include pre-releases or not) instead of guessing. ## Critical prohibitions - Do not guess the “latest” version by string sorting. - Do not output placeholder or “approximate” versions; always wait for API data. - Do not parse large JSON via `grep` or manual truncation; use a JSON parser (jq/Python/Node). - Do not silently fall back when `isDefault` is missing; ask for the desired rule. - Do not paste large verbatim chunks from docs; summarize. - Do not assume auth or rate limits; treat them as unspecified unless you have evidence. ## Links - [Documentation](https://docs.deps.dev/api/v3/) - [GitHub](https://github.com/google/deps.dev) --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/itechmeat) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
