Hi,

Regarding the Debian-side of things:

Versions are available via [1], the 'f' param returns json output.
API docs are available via [2].

One way to get the source tarball, without relying on git, is using
[3], specifically [4]. To construct the URL to fetch the source tarball
from, one would need to concatenate:

https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/ + $first_seen + $path + $name

An example URL would look like [5].

I'm not sure if there are API docs available.

Hope this helps,
cheers,
Georg
