Description
As a follow on from #307 I've started looking into the best way to get a modules dependents. So far the only way I've found how to do it is to scrape the npm site on this endpoint https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/express
Does anyone know of any alternative way or if there is an endpoint on http://registry.npmjs.org/ that would return the dependents?
