gitignore API

healthy 3,136 Subscribers

Generate .gitignore files as an API — 309 ready-to-use .gitignore templates for languages, frameworks, tools and editors, straight from GitHub's official github/gitignore collection. Fetch the .gitignore for any single technology (Node, Python, Java, Rust, Unity, …), search and list all available templates by name or category (languages, editors/OS globals, community stacks), or — the headline feature — combine several templates into one ready-to-commit .gitignore in a single call (e.g. names=Node,Python,macOS). Ideal for scaffolding tools, project generators, IDEs, CLIs and developer dashboards. Open data from github/gitignore (CC0).

Glob API — oanor API marketplace

Glob API

Match file paths against glob patterns — the same wildcard language used by .gitignore, CI/CD path filters, build tools and the shell. Test whether a single path matches a pattern, or filter a whole list of paths down to the ones that match. Full minimatch support: * (within a segment) and ** (across segments), ? for one character, [abc] character classes, {a,b,c} brace expansion and extended globs, with options for case-insensitivity, matching dotfiles and basename-only matching. Perfect for path-based rules, file selection, route guards, allow/deny lists and config validation. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant; send large lists via POST. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Distinct from regular-expression testing and from JSON path queries.

Codeberg API — oanor API marketplace

Codeberg API

Live profile and repository data from Codeberg as an API — the community-run, Forgejo-powered git host and a leading open-source alternative to GitHub. Look up any user or organisation for their profile and social reach (followers, following, starred repositories, join date, location and website), open any repository for its stats (stars, forks, watchers, open issues, primary language, size and dates), or search Codeberg's repositories ranked by stars. The git-forge community layer for developer, social and dashboard apps. Live, no key, no cache. Distinct from GitHub and GitLab APIs and from package-registry APIs — this is the Codeberg platform's own community and project data.

Bitbucket API — oanor API marketplace

Bitbucket API

Read Bitbucket Cloud in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any public repository by "workspace/slug" for its full detail (description, language, size, fork policy, mainbranch, timestamps) and pull its commits, branches, tags, pull requests, watchers, forks and file tree (browse any directory at any branch/tag/commit). Inspect any workspace profile and list its public repositories. Pass repo as "workspace/slug" (or a bitbucket.org URL). Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream Bitbucket 2.0 shape, paginated with page + pagelen (max 100). 11 endpoints. Calls are routed through a rotating residential proxy so per-IP rate limits never bite. The sibling of our GitHub and GitLab APIs — built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics and repo monitoring across the Atlassian ecosystem. No upstream token, no cache.

GitLab API — oanor API marketplace

GitLab API

Read GitLab.com in real time — no token, no OAuth. Look up any public project by numeric id or "group/name" path for its full detail (stars, forks, open issues, default branch, visibility, license, topics, timestamps) and pull its commits, branches, tags, releases, issues, merge requests, language breakdown, members and decoded README. Look up any user, list a user's public projects, inspect any group and its projects, and search public projects by keyword with sort + order. Pass project as a numeric id, a "group/name" path or a gitlab.com URL. Every call is live (no cache) and returns the upstream GitLab REST v4 shape, paginated with page + per_page (max 100). 16 endpoints. Calls are routed through a rotating residential proxy so per-IP rate limits never bite. Built for dev dashboards, OSS analytics, CI/CD tooling and repo monitoring across the GitLab ecosystem — the sibling of our GitHub API. No upstream token, no cache.
