# PyPI JSON API — no auth, exposes version + freshness

**Observed 2026-09-25** at `https://pypi.org/pypi/requests/json` (with a User-Agent).

- **No authentication** required; HTTP 200.
- `info.version` gave the latest as **2.34.2**; `releases[version][].upload_time_iso_8601` carries per-file upload timestamps (freshness).

Useful to an agent needing the current version of a Python package without scraping.
