Packagist

Purpose: Packagist is the default Composer package repository, helping users find packages and telling Composer where to get their code.
Public packages: Packagist aggregates public PHP packages that anyone can install with Composer.
Package publishing: Users publish a package by submitting its public repository URL, after which Packagist periodically crawls it.
Version updates: New package versions are fetched from repository tags, and branches appear as dev versions.
Update integrations: Automatic package updates are supported through GitHub, Bitbucket, GitLab, and Gitea hooks or webhooks.
Search API: The API supports package search, package listings, package data and download statistics, among other operations.
API authentication: Many API endpoints are anonymous, while authenticated endpoints accept bearer tokens or username and API token parameters.
Security: The site says Packagist.org package metadata is hosted on Bunny.net's global CDN.
Mirror security: Packagist warns that community-run mirrors are unaffiliated and may be outdated, broken, or insecure.
Stable version integrity: The maker states that stable Packagist.org versions are immutable and cannot be silently replaced with different code.
Who it serves: Packagist serves PHP developers who use Composer to manage project or library dependencies.
Private code limit: Packagist.org is for public packages; the maker directs users who need to share private code to Private Packagist.
Support: Commercial support and consulting for PHP dependency management with Packagist and Composer are available through Private Packagist subscription plans.
Maker: Packagist Conductors GmbH is registered in Berlin, Germany, and the company says it has operated Packagist.org since its creation in 2012.
Price from: €2,500/mo
