ℹ︎ How to read this score
Signals, not verdicts. A ghost score (0–100) estimates the probability that a repository will go 12 months without a non-bot commit, become archived, or be deprecated. A high score is a prompt to check your dependency health — never an accusation against its maintainers.

requests

“requests still has a pulse. Long may it commit.”

Vital signs

hover or focus any vital for threshold guidance
commit pulse (26 wks)

Weekly commit cadence over the last 6 months; flatlined means 0 recent commits.

last commit
3 days ago

Threshold: >365 days without a commit strongly elevates ghost risk.

release gap
5.5 months

Threshold: >365 days since the latest registry release.

bus factor
not enough data

Share of commits by the single top author; >=80% means reliance on one person.

issue close rate
not enough data

Share of issues closed over the past year; <25% can signal backlog pressure.

weekly downloads
277,777,667

Recent weekly downloads from the package registry.

dependents
679,836

Public repositories or packages that depend on this project.

years active
16 years

Time elapsed since the package's first recorded release.

What pushed this score up or down

Cause of death

Active & Maintained

Recent commits, releases, or maintainer activity indicate a healthy, living project.

  1. No conclusive risk evidence recorded — absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Día de los Muertos · Altar of Remembrance

Ofrenda

Every candle represents a person who gave time to requests. In the Día de los Muertos tradition, an ofrenda welcomes back the memory of those who came before — honoring the hands that built the software we rely on.

Hold a seance

The spirit of requests answers strictly from its own records — README, releases, and issues. It never impersonates a maintainer and says “I don't remember that” when evidence is missing.

The candles are lit. Pick a question above or ask what requests did, how to migrate away, or how it ended.
