You're correct. We have updated the services to make clear what's going on if the item has no expiration date. We have added an "expired" element in the output that only appears if the item has expired.

Laird the problem is that

Laird the problem is that there are packages that have no expiration date, which implies they never expire. However, when a package that does expire, has expired, its expiration date is also removed. This would imply it also does not expire when in fact it has. Which I believe is the condition Anthony is inquiring about. I myself inquired about it (http://developer.pando.com/how-determine-whether-package-expired), but have yet to receive a reply.

Yes. The Package Info Web

Yes. The Package Info Web Service will give you the expiration date of the package, along with quite a bit of other information.

Determining if a package is "live"

I'm writing an application that needs to determine if a package is "live" (not expired) or not. Is there a Pando API to do this or what is the preferred way?

Thanks,
Anthony
