I wanted to share the official announcement for this:

> **[PyPI now serves project status markers in API responses - The Python Package...](https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2025-08-14-project-status-markers/)**
>
> PyPI has implemented PEP 792, and is now serving project status markers in its standard HTML and JSON APIs.

## Summary

PyPI’s implementation of the standard index APIs now includes project status marker information. Downstream consumers of the index can use this information to inform users and set policies when packages enter noteworthy states, e.g. [archival](https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2025-01-30-archival/) or [quarantine](https://blog.pypi.org/posts/2024-12-30-quarantine/).

## Do I need to do anything?

No! This is a compatible extension to the index APIs, existing consumers do not _need_ to make any changes. However, the PEP encourages installers to emit deprecated warnings on certain statuses. I’ve opened issues to coordinate the implementation of that.

For consumers that mirror the index (e.g. private mirrors), you may want to propagate these statuses so that users of your index see the same statuses as they would from PyPI.
