Instead of constructing these URLs by hand, you should use the generated versions returned from any of these API's, which are guaranteed to be correct for all supported package types:

The dependencies array for Node.js packages will list dependencies for the following contexts: dependencies, devDependencies, optionalDependencies, bundleDependencies, and peerDependencies.

Example request:

curl "https://packagecloud.io/api/v1/repos/test_user/test_repo/package/node/test-pkg/1.3.1.json"
get/api/v1/repos/{user_id}/{repo}/package/node/{package}/{version}.json
