Adding a direct npm-package to repository-url endpoint

[caub]

It's very useful as a browser search engine

Currently I've added https://caub.github.io/misc/npm-to-gh?q=%s in my browser search engines, as 'npm', then I can quickly type npm TAB some-package ENTER

source: https://github.com/caub/misc/blob/master/npm-to-gh.html#L32-L42

if you could handle it directly it would be ideal, and remove the need of that hacky script

@caub I'm not sure what you meant with this issue. Both the search and package info endpoints contain the repository url, e.g.: https://api.npms.io/v2/search?from=0&q=foo&size=1 and https://api.npms.io/v2/package/foo.

Can you elaborate?

@satazor yes that's what I'm using https://github.com/caub/misc/blob/master/npm-to-gh.html#L51

What I mean is having an endpoint like https://api.npms.io/v2/package/foo/url?redirect that'd reply with a Location: https://github.com/jasonLaster/foo header and 307 status, so that adding https://api.npms.io/v2/package/%s/url?redirect in chrome search engines as npm, I can type npm foo and go to the sources
