Examples listed for the API are not consistent #2126

The examples that are provided for the API (see https://libraries.io/api) are not consistent.

Consider for example "Project dependencies":

Displayed URL (after "Example:") is https://libraries.io/api/npm/grunt/latest/dependencies?api_key=X
This URL leads to https://libraries.io/api/rubygems/rails/4.2.4/dependencies?api_key=X
The output provided on the documentation shows data for NPM/base62.

I noticed that too. I created a PR to address the URLs, but I'd need better data / tests to fix the actual examples which are sometimes quite out of sync (e.g. sourcerank's example is a single number...).

Sadly, slack channel is dead and the two main committers are gone, leaving only @katzj doing basic maintenance.

Could we consider libraries.io as "mainly" abandoned?

re: maintenance status, we still strongly rely on the service at Tidelift, so we're planning to keep it running and add features as we have the need. We are a small team for now and are focusing on the critical path for our mission to pay the maintainers, so we aren't planning to do a lot of active development on libraries.io itself right away. I'd call it more paused than abandoned though. We’ll try to help with anything someone wants to work on. Sorry we’re a little laggy on here and havent kept up with Slack; I’ll try to fix my notifications so I see stuff.
