can you expand the introduction a bit more, so that its more findable via search engines.
E.g. why do i need that? What was the scenario the customer needed that? (if you have the context). Cause if I only read that i dont know if the article applies to me and if I should read it.

I think i would do one stanza on meta level like
- get the JSON from https://repo.packagist.com//p2/.json
- using username "token" and an Authentication Token as password
- decode the json as nested arrays
- use [MetadataMinifier(https://link.to.metadata.miniifier.com) to expand the metadata for each package version
$metadata = MetadataMinifier::expand($data['packages'][$package]);
just like the TL;DR? :)

do we have to think about the dev versions as well? (this is only stable, right?) with ~dev.json ?
