Dependency Tree Analysis API

Parse package.json or requirements.txt content and build a structured dependency tree. Returns direct vs transitive dependency count, depth of dependency tree, duplicate packages at different versions, and known deprecated packages. Available as a simple REST API — POST your input, get structured JSON back. 3 credits per call, no rate limiting, works in any language with HTTP support.

How it works

POST a JSON object with your input data to /v1/analyze-dependency-tree. The API processes your request server-side using real computation (not mocked data) and returns a structured JSON response with your results and metadata including credits used and processing time.

Use cases

• Use Dependency Tree Analysis in automated pipelines without installing a library
• Call Dependency Tree Analysis from AI agent workflows via MCP or REST
• Integrate Dependency Tree Analysis into serverless functions with zero dependencies
• Build Dependency Tree Analysis functionality into any language that supports HTTP

Python

import requests

response = requests.post(

    json={"input": "your data here"}
)
result = response.json()
print(result["data"])

Node.js

const response = await fetch("https://slopshop.gg/v1/analyze-dependency-tree", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({ input: "your data here" })
});
const { data } = await response.json();
console.log(data);

CLI

# Install the Slopshop CLI
npm install -g slopshop

# Set your API key
export SLOPSHOP_KEY=your_api_key

# Call analyze-dependency-tree
slop analyze-dependency-tree '{"input": "your data here"}'
