npm Hooks API

The npm Hooks API allows developers to subscribe to notifications about changes in the npm registry. Hooks send HTTP POST payloads to a configured URI whenever a package is changed, enabling developers to build integrations that respond to registry events in real time. Users can add hooks to follow specific packages, track all activity of given npm users, or monitor all packages within an organization or user scope. The API provides endpoints for creating, listing, updating, and deleting hook subscriptions.

npm Hooks API is one of 10 APIs that npm publishes on the APIs.io network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification and an AsyncAPI event-driven specification.

This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition.

Tagged areas include Webhook, Notification, Event, Automation, and Packages. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation, an OpenAPI specification, an AsyncAPI specification, and 1 JSON Schema.

This API exposes 5 operations across 3 paths, and defines 4 schemas. It is described by OpenAPI 3.2.0, at version 1.0.0.

Requests are made against a single base URL, https://registry.npmjs.org.

Where this information came from

This is an independent, third-party profile of npm Hooks API, published by API Evangelist. We do not operate, host, resell, or support these APIs, and we are not affiliated with or endorsed by the company unless stated above. Everything here is built from publicly available information — the company's own site, developer portal, documentation, public repositories, and the specifications it publishes for public use. Nothing is obtained by breaching a system, defeating an access control, or using credentials.

The Kin Score and Agent Readiness rating are independently calculated assessments of a company's public API artifacts, scored against a published rubric. They are not certifications, endorsements, security assessments, or audits.

Corrections, re-scores, and removal are free — no partnership or purchase required, and you do not need to justify the request. A removed company is recorded as unrated, never scored zero for having asked. Acknowledgement within one business day; removal within two.
