For developers

A free API for the ITHub dataset

Every tool in the directory, as structured JSON: category, deployment, licensing and pricing model.

Endpoint

GET https://www.ithub.directory/developers/tools.json

No API key, no rate limit beyond fair use, no authentication. Response is cached for one hour. CORS is open (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) so you can call it directly from the browser.

Usage

Free to use for any purpose, commercial or not. Attribution back to ithub.directory is appreciated but not required. Data quality is best-effort: fields are left null rather than guessed when a fact could not be verified, so expect gaps.
