Discourse API

4,314 Subscribers
A live window into Discourse's own official community forum (meta.discourse.org), the flagship instance of the most widely used modern forum platform, as an API. Pull the latest topics with their reply, view and like counts; the top topics of a day, week, month or year; the category list with topic counts; or a user's profile (trust level, join date). The traditional threaded-forum experience delivered as clean JSON for social, news-aggregation and community-dashboard apps. Live data, no key. Distinct from link-aggregators and microblogs — this is forum software.

4chan API
Live read-only access to the 4chan imageboard, served straight from its official JSON API — one of the most influential anonymous forums on the internet and a primary source of internet culture, exposed as clean JSON with the HTML stripped to plain text. The boards endpoint lists every one of 4chan's ~77 boards with its code, title, worksafe flag, pages, threads-per-page and a description, from /g/ (Technology) and /v/ (Video Games) to /news/, /sci/ and /pol/. The catalog endpoint returns every live thread on a board summarized — the opening post's subject and a plain-text teaser of its comment, the reply and image counts, the sticky and closed flags and when it was last bumped — sorted by activity, replies or images: the front page of the board as data. The hot endpoint self-discovers and returns the single most active thread on a board right now, fully expanded with the original post and its top replies, so you never need a thread id that has expired. The thread endpoint returns one specific thread in full by its id — the original post and every reply with author name, timestamp, plain-text comment and image filename — and falls back to the current top thread when no id is given. Everything is the live board state, nothing stored. This is the imageboard layer for any social-listening, trend-tracking, meme-research, moderation or bot app. Live from 4chan's JSON API. Distinct from Reddit, Hacker News and Lemmy APIs — this is 4chan's boards, catalogs and threads. Some boards are NSFW (worksafe flag provided). 5 endpoints, no key on our side, nothing cached.

BBCode API
Render BBCode — the [b]…[/b] markup used by forums, bulletin boards, game communities and many comment systems — into clean HTML, or strip it down to plain text. Supports bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, lists, quotes, code blocks, links, images, colour and size. Dangerous URL schemes (javascript:, data:, vbscript:) in links and images are neutralised, so the HTML is safe to display. The to-text endpoint removes all markup for previews, search indexes, notifications and excerpts. Powered by the bbob parser. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant; send large posts via POST. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Distinct from Markdown rendering and HTML-to-Markdown conversion.

Chihuahua Chain API
Real-time on-chain data for Chihuahua (chain-id chihuahua-1), a community-driven Cosmos-SDK Layer-1 secured by delegated proof-of-stake with HUAHUA as its native coin. The status endpoint returns the chain id, latest block height and time, proposer and node application version so you can confirm the chain is live and producing blocks. The validators endpoint returns the full bonded validator set — each moniker, operator address, stake in HUAHUA, commission rate and jailed flag — sorted by stake, plus the total bonded and not-bonded HUAHUA. The supply endpoint returns the total HUAHUA supply (in HUAHUA and base uhuahua), the bonded amount and the bonded ratio. The governance endpoint returns the most recent on-chain governance proposals with title, status and voting window. The meta endpoint documents the chain, denom and decimals. Reads a live Chihuahua Cosmos-SDK LCD node directly (with mirror fallback), so values are current to the latest block. Live, nothing stored. 5 endpoints. This serves chain-level staking, supply and governance data; for token prices or NFTs use a dedicated market/indexer API.

OpenProcessing Creative Coding API
Live creator and sketch data from OpenProcessing, the community for Processing and p5.js creative-coding sketches, served from its public API. The user endpoint returns a creator's profile — username, name, bio, location, website, join date and total sketch count. The sketches endpoint lists a creator's published sketches with title, license, engine mode and dates. The sketch endpoint returns a single sketch's detail — title, description, tags, license, libraries used, the fork parent it was remixed from, and the author. The social endpoint returns a creator's followers or the accounts they follow. This is a creative-coding community stats API — creator profiles, sketch catalogues and the follow graph — distinct from the code-hosting, package-registry and other social-platform APIs in the catalogue. A user is a numeric OpenProcessing userID and a sketch is a numeric visualID, both visible in OpenProcessing URLs. Live, no key on the upstream, nothing stored.
