FAQPage Schema
How do I fetch live API documentation for libraries like React or Next.js?

To fetch live API documentation, ask a library or framework question and the Skill queries Context7 to retrieve current docs. It resolves a Context7-compatible library ID and fetches relevant API references and code snippets on demand.

Can I get current code examples for Prisma and Supabase setup?

Yes, you can get current code examples for Prisma and Supabase setup. The Skill fetches live documentation via Context7, resolving library IDs to provide up-to-date configuration steps and code snippets for these frameworks.

Does this documentation lookup tool support any JavaScript framework?

The documentation lookup tool supports any library or framework available in the Context7 system. It explicitly handles React, Next.js, Prisma, and Supabase by resolving their library IDs to fetch live docs.

What are the limitations of fetching live docs via Context7?

Fetching live docs via Context7 limits you to a maximum of three calls per question. You must also first resolve a Context7-compatible library ID before querying documentation, adding a prerequisite step to the process.

Why resolve a library ID before fetching API references?

Resolving a library ID is required to fetch API references because Context7 needs a compatible identifier to accurately locate and return live documentation. This step ensures the query-docs function targets the correct framework data.
