- pkg.go.dev now offers a structured API for programmatic access to Go package metadata, addressing community demand.
- The API provides JSON metadata for use cases like search and discovery and support for AI-assisted coding.
- Key endpoints include retrieval of package, module, and vulnerability information under the /v1beta path.
- A reference CLI tool, pkgsite-cli, demonstrates how to interact with the API for search and inspection from the terminal.
- The API is designed with a stateless, GET-only architecture for stability and caching, with plans for a future v1 release.
