tea.xyz Spam Plagues npm and RubyGems Package Registries
Tea.xyz, a crypto project aimed at rewarding open source contributions, is once again facing backlash due to an influx of spam packages flooding public package registries.

Readme
Currently still a work-in-progress, but it should already be quite usable.
An unofficial SDK for using the free IEX API. You can use this to get stock market information. This module is usable in Web Browsers, React Native, and NodeJS (though a polyfill/ponyfill for the fetch API is needed in NodeJS).
npm install --save iex-api
import { IEXClient } from 'iex-api'
const iex = new IEXClient(fetch)
iex.stockCompany('AAPL')
.then(quote => console.log(quote))
// {
// symbol: "AAPL",
// companyName: "Apple Inc.",
// exchange: "Nasdaq Global Select",
// industry: "Computer Hardware",
// website: "http://www.apple.com",
// description: "Apple Inc is designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication and media devices and personal computers, and sells a variety of related software, services, accessories, networking solutions and third-party digital content and applications.",
// CEO: "Timothy D. Cook",
// issueType: "cs",
// sector: "Technology"
// }
To use this in NodeJS and any other JS runtime that doesn't provide the fetch API, you will have to provide it through a polyfill or ponyfill. I recommend using fetch-ponyfill for this purpose, since it doesn't mess with the global context. You may find isomorphic-fetch easier to use, however.
npm install --save isomorphic-fetch
npm insatll --save-dev @types/isomorphic-fetch # If using TypeScript
import { IEXClient } from 'iex-api'
import * as _fetch from 'isomorphic-fetch'
const iex = new IEXClient(_fetch)
iex.stockCompany('AAPL')
.then(quote => console.log(quote))
// {
// symbol: "AAPL",
// companyName: "Apple Inc.",
// exchange: "Nasdaq Global Select",
// industry: "Computer Hardware",
// website: "http://www.apple.com",
// description: "Apple Inc is designs, manufactures and markets mobile communication and media devices and personal computers, and sells a variety of related software, services, accessories, networking solutions and third-party digital content and applications.",
// CEO: "Timothy D. Cook",
// issueType: "cs",
// sector: "Technology"
// }
Define types and definitions for specific API operations:
Increase integration test coverage
Add documentation. In the meantime, the code is pretty well commented and should hopefully be easy to use thanks to type definitions.
Do runtime checks against each API endpoint with all possible inputs to discover possible enums, null responses,
Report discrepencies between docs and actual API responses to IEX
