Developer Search
Search developer sources in one call: Hacker News stories (Algolia), GitHub repositories (by stars), npm packages (with weekly downloads), PyPI (exact package lookup, PyPI has no search API) and Stack Overflow questions. Each source returns its own list; a source that is rate limited reports an error without failing the call. Params: query (required), sources (default all: hackernews, github, npm, pypi, stackoverflow), limit per source (1 to 20, default 5).
Run free trial ↗1 free call per day with the example input. Paid: $0.003 USDC, no limit.
