How do I discover public APIs and datasets for a specific domain?▼

You can discover public APIs, datasets, and documentation for a specific domain by running a command with the domain description. The tool expands your domain into 12-20 subcategories and researches each to deliver a structured Markdown catalog of verified sources.

What is the best way to find research repositories and government databases at scale?▼

Finding research repositories and government databases at scale is done by deploying parallel research agents across subcategories. This approach collects 8-15 sources per area, verifies working URLs, and outputs a comprehensive catalog with per-source metadata.

How do I get a structured report of SDKs and documentation resources for my project?▼

To get a structured report of SDKs and documentation resources, provide a domain description to trigger the discovery process. The workflow deduplicates links and outputs a single Markdown report featuring quick picks and domain-wide documentation.

Can I find commercial APIs and relevant documentation without manual web scouring?▼

You can find commercial APIs and relevant documentation without manual scouring by using an automated discovery process. It categorizes and verifies sources across multiple angles, ensuring broad coverage and working URLs for your domain.

Does the API discovery process verify working URLs and remove duplicate sources?▼

The API discovery process includes a verification and deduplication workflow to keep links current and avoid duplicates across subcategories. This ensures the final structured catalog only contains verified, working URLs for every documented source.

What types of data sources can I catalog using automated data discovery?▼

Automated data discovery allows you to catalog public APIs, commercial APIs, datasets, government databases, research repositories, SDKs, and relevant documentation. All sources are categorized and documented with working URLs in a single report.
