getting modules that my module depends on

Is it possible to know which modules my module depends on? instead of knowing the artifacts....
Examples
GET /module/<mymodule>/dependencies returns
{
  [ "name" : "depmodule1", ...],
  [ "name" : "depmodule2", ...],
  ...
}
Could be cool to have also the module ancestors this way.
This way we can navigate from modules to modules with the same API.
