The Tidelift Subscription: for more complete and accurate package data

Data available via Libraries.io is scraped from the internet and not validated, corrected, or curated for accuracy. If you are looking to make important decisions about open source usage and management, consider our paid offering: The Tidelift Subscription.

The Tidelift Subscription provides a curated source of open source package data backed by Tidelift and our maintainer partners, who are paid to ensure their projects follow enterprise-grade secure software development practices, now and into the future.

The Tidelift Subscription provides deeper, more meaningful insights that allow you to evaluate latent risk indicators such as package maintenance and end-of-life status, evaluating code contributors and security measures such as two-factor-authentication to eliminate malicious code injections, and more.
