Curious, what is the use-case?

Sorry to reply now, I am developing a vs-code plugin to help developers only need to search for keywords to get the corresponding packages information, including version code and name; But dont have api can help me to do these.

The method I currently use like these:

1. query packages by using api "api/search?q=keyword"
2. according selected package's name to query package's infomation by using api "api/documentation/packageName"

What's the information that you need form that endpoint? Maybe we serve that better differently?

Just this package's lastest stable version and history versions

Calling the documentation endpoint may not be the best for the list of versions, I'm sure we can figure out better (and faster) endpoints for these.

I think this has become obsolete with: #4302 there is now tab-completion for package-names in vscode.

Please open a new issue if this is not satisfactory compared to this feature request.
