I think it is easy. It should just be a matter of the following patch:

diff --git a/anitya/api.py b/anitya/api.py
index a53be43..5f0be9e 100644
--- a/anitya/api.py
+++ b/anitya/api.py
@@ -156,7 +156,7 @@ def api_projects():
     else:
         project_objs = models.Project.all(Session)
 
-    projects = [project.__json__() for project in project_objs]
+    projects = [project.__json__(detailed=True) for project in project_objs]
 
     output = {
         'total': len(projects),

I've asked upstream if they were interested, and the reply I got this
morning is:

08:48 < pingou> kos_tom: sounds fine to me, but I know that jcline has been working on a v2 api, so maybe that'll help
08:49 < kos_tom> pingou: do you think you can apply the patch I provided ?
08:49 < kos_tom> pingou: alternatively, we could make getting the detailed information optional
08:49 < pingou> kos_tom: jcline is now the one maintaining it
08:52 < kos_tom> pingou: ok :)

Right.

Indeed.
