This would at least a way to workaround the API limit of 250 maximum results like described here.

Plus this would actually be needed to fix yeoman/yo#544 in a sane way.

I would love to work on this if you accept that feature request and #11 is merged.

Cheers, Michael

Hej,

the endpoint used by that module is returning timeout errors frequently and will be probably be retired soon.

This is the feedback I got from npm support regarding yeoman/yo#544.

Thanks for reaching out. I've reached out to our team. They are in the process of retiring all endpoints as there are performance issues and timeouts. Per our team, you could run the below curl command instead:

curl -XGET https://registry.npmjs.org/-/v1/search?text=keywords:yeoman-generator | json

For more information on the new search API, please go to:
https://github.com/npm/registry/blob/master/docs/REGISTRY-API.md#get-v1search

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you. We’ll be here to help. Thank you.

Problem with the new endpoint is that the result set is limited to a maximum of 250 😞
That means for getting all yeoman generators (6984) we would need to call that endpoint almost 30 times 🙀

Maybe the npms.io API offers an alternative endpoint to get all results with just one request.

Maybe an optional count to return param, something like?

npmKeyword('gulpplugin', 5).then(packages => {
    console.log(packages);
    //=> array of length 5 [{name: 'gulp-autoprefixer', description: '...'}, ...]
});

It seems that el doesn't contain version related information.

Is it possible to get the latest module versions?

Hi, while working at b12-archive/keyword-popularity#1 I noticed that npmKeyword.count() chokes on a keyword that doesn’t exist.

Here’s what my REPL shouts:

npmKeyword.count('äąâ')
