Get Hex Package

hexpm/get-package

Returns one Hex package: description, licences, links, latest and latest stable version, download counts, owner usernames, retired versions with reasons, the number of security advisories, config snippets for mix.exs, rebar.config and erlang.mk, and the newest 50 releases. Package metadata from Hex, https://hex.pm, the Elixir and Erlang package manager, reduced to the fields listed (e-mail addresses and security-advisory texts are not returned) and served by Eden Engine; not an official Hex or Six Colors product.
