I've been working on the CPAN Testers project since 2015. In all that time, I've been focused on maintenance (which has involved more operations/administration tasks than any actual code changes) and modernization. It's that modernization effort that has led to a new CPAN Testers API.

This new API uses the Mojolicious web framework, along with an OpenAPI schema to expose all of the most useful CPAN Testers data. OpenAPI is a specification for web APIs, and there are tools like Swagger to generate a useful documentation website from your spec, like the CPAN Testers API documentation website.
