# npm Org API

An org or scope resolved to its stored profile, with the type npm keeps and the number of packages it can publish.

`GET /v1/npm/org?name=babel` returns `data.org` with `name`, `type`, `fullName`, `githubUsername`, `description`, `requiresTwoFactor`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt`, `orgs` and `packagesTotal`. The `/org/` route can return a user scope as well as an org, and `type` says which record npm stores, so trust that field rather than the URL.

Names are case-sensitive. A name npm does not have returns `lookupStatus: not_found` with `data.org: null`. Use `GET /v1/npm/org/packages` for the package list. For a personal account, `GET /v1/npm/user` is the direct route, though both can resolve scopes.

## FAQ

### What does the type field mean?

type is user or org, as stored by npm. The /org/ route accepts a scope name and can return a user scope, so read type instead of assuming every answer is an organisation.

### Does an org profile include its packages?

No. This route returns the profile only. Call GET /v1/npm/org/packages to page the packages, 25 per page.

### What does packagesTotal count?

The number of packages the org or scope can publish, when a count is available. It is null when no count is available. The package list route is the authoritative list.

### What happens for an unknown org?

HTTP 200 with data.lookupStatus not_found and data.org null. A differently cased name can miss because lookup is case-sensitive.

### What does the request cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
