tldr CLI Help API

healthy 4,183 Subscribers

Simplified, example-driven help for the command line as an API — the community tldr-pages project, 7,045 command-line tools across Linux, macOS, Windows and more. Instead of dense man pages, every command (tar, git, ffmpeg, curl, docker, ssh, awk, …) comes back as a short description plus a handful of practical, copy-paste example commands with placeholders. Look up a command, search commands by name or description, filter by platform, or fetch a random command. Ideal for terminals, IDEs, chatbots, developer tools, onboarding and learning. Open data from tldr-pages (CC-BY).

Word Wrap API — oanor API marketplace

Word Wrap API

Reflow plain text to a fixed column width on word boundaries — the classic word-wrap you need for terminal and CLI output, email and plain-text formatting, code comments, README and changelog blocks, and fixed-width reports. The wrap endpoint breaks text to a chosen width while preserving paragraphs (blank-line separated), with optional left indentation and the option to hard-break words longer than the line; the unwrap endpoint does the reverse, collapsing a wrapped block back into single-line paragraphs. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant; up to 200,000 characters via POST. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. Distinct from case conversion, slugs and text statistics.

 ASCII Art API — oanor API marketplace

ASCII Art API

Turn text into ASCII-art banners as an API, with 300+ classic FIGlet fonts (Standard, Slant, Big, Ghost, Doom, 3D-ASCII, Banner and many more). Send a word or short phrase and a font and get back ready-to-paste ASCII art, with control over output width and the letter-spacing layout. Browse and search the full font catalogue. Rendering runs entirely on the engine — no third-party service, so it is fast and always available. Ideal for CLI tools and terminal output, README and changelog headers, build banners, chat and Discord bots, retro UIs and any place a plain string deserves a little flourish.

 Programming Languages API — oanor API marketplace

Programming Languages API

The language definitions GitHub uses to recognise code (the open-source Linguist data) as an API — a clean reference for syntax highlighting, file-type detection, repository dashboards and developer tooling. For each of 800+ languages the API returns its type (programming, markup, data or prose), its brand colour (the hex GitHub paints it), the file extensions associated with it, common aliases, the GitHub language id and the editor (ace) mode. Look a language up by name or alias (golang resolves to Go), reverse-look-up which language(s) own a file extension (.py → Python; .h → C, C++, Objective-C), list the languages of a type, search, or list them all. Distinct from languages-api (ISO 639 human languages) — this is the programming-language reference. Served from memory — always fast.

 MIME Types API — oanor API marketplace

MIME Types API

The canonical MIME / media-type database (the jshttp mime-db used by Express and most of the Node ecosystem: IANA + Apache + nginx), served from memory — no key. Resolve a media type to its file extensions, charset and compressibility; reverse-lookup the media type(s) for a file extension (e.g. png → image/png); and search or list types by source. 2,600+ media types, 1,000+ with file extensions. Lean, predictable JSON. Ideal for upload validation, Content-Type resolution, file-type detection, download handlers and developer tooling.
