Get complete info of a package with REST api

[ghost]

The web api for querying info of a package doesn't return fields like dependencies, license, scm url etc. How do I fetch this info about a pacakge?

[ghost]

Also, how do the field latest_release and latest_version differ?

[tobias]

Those fields are missing from the API only because they have never been added I suspect. A PR adding them would be welcome. Alternatively, you can pull down the pom file for an artifact and parse that to get that information.

latest_release will be the version number of the most recent release, including SNAPSHOT releases (so could be something like 0.1.0-SNAPSHOT).

latest_version will be the version number of the most recent non-SNAPSHOT release (so would be something like 0.1.0).

If the most recent release is not a SNAPSHOT, latest_release and latest_version will be the same non-SNAPSHOT value.
