npm-user

Get user info of a npm user

Since npm has no API for this we're forced to scrape the profile page.

Use the faster npm-email if you only need the email.

Install

$ npm install --save npm-user

Usage

var npmUser = require('npm-user');

npmUser('sindresorhus', function (err, user) {
	console.log(user);
	/*
	{
		name: 'Sindre Sorhus',
		email: 'sindresorhus@gmail.com',
		homepage: 'http://sindresorhus.com',
		github: 'sindresorhus',
		twitter: 'sindresorhus',
		freenode: 'sindresorhus'
	}
	*/
});

Values will be null if they're not set in the npm profile.

CLI

$ npm install --global npm-user

$ npm-user --help

  Usage
    $ npm-user <username>

  Example
    $ npm-user sindresorhus
    Name: Sindre Sorhus
    Email: sindresorhus@gmail.com
    Homepage: http://sindresorhus.com
    Twitter: sindresorhus
    GitHub: sindresorhus
    Freenode: sindresorhus
