Live Linux and Steam Deck compatibility plus popularity for Steam games, from the public ProtonDB and Steam feeds — no key, nothing stored. The "can I play it on Linux / Steam Deck, and is anyone playing it" view of a game: the crowd-sourced ProtonDB compatibility tier together with the live concurrent-player count, distinct from the other game and platform APIs in the catalogue. The game endpoint returns a full picture for a title — its Steam name, genres and release date, the ProtonDB compatibility tier (platinum, gold, silver, bronze or borked) with the community confidence, score and report count, the trending and best-reported tiers, and the live player count. The search endpoint resolves a game name to its Steam app id and other matches, so you can find the id to query. The players endpoint returns just the live concurrent-player count for a game. Build Steam Deck compatibility checkers, Linux gaming dashboards, "is it playable" widgets and game-popularity trackers on top of real ProtonDB and Steam data. Look up a game by Steam app id (appid=1245620) or by name (name=elden ring); ProtonDB tiers run from platinum (flawless) down to borked, and player counts are live.

A Unix file-permission calculator as an API. Convert a symbolic permission string (rwxr-xr-x) to its octal mode (755) and back, and explain any mode in plain English with a per-class breakdown (owner / group / others, each read / write / execute). Full support for the special bits — setuid (4), setgid (2) and the sticky bit (1) — so 4755 ↔ rwsr-xr-x and 1777 ↔ rwxrwxrwt are handled correctly, including the capital S/T forms. Perfect for Dockerfiles and CI scripts, deployment and provisioning tooling, teaching, and any time you need to double-check a chmod value. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 4 endpoints. Distinct from anything that touches real files or networking.

The Arch User Repository (AUR) as an API. Look up any AUR package for its version, description, upstream URL, maintainer and submitter, community votes and popularity score, license, out-of-date flag, keywords and full dependency lists (depends, make-depends, opt-depends), plus its source snapshot and ready-to-run git-clone command; search the whole AUR by name, description, maintainer, dependencies or keywords (results sorted by popularity); and list every package maintained by a given user. Covers the 90,000+ community-maintained packages of Arch Linux, from yay, paru and visual-studio-code-bin to google-chrome and spotify. Live from the official AUR RPC. Ideal for Arch/AUR helpers and dashboards, package and dependency tooling, and Linux developer portals. Open data from the Arch User Repository.

The Linux desktop-app store — Flathub (Flatpak) — as an API. Look up any app by its reverse-DNS id for its name, summary and description, developer, license, categories, homepage / bug-tracker / donation links, latest version and release date, screenshot count and total install count; search the whole store by keyword; and read an app's install statistics, including last-month and last-7-day installs and the top countries. Every app comes with the exact `flatpak install` command. Covers the Linux desktop from Firefox, Blender, GIMP, OBS Studio and Inkscape to VLC, Krita and LibreOffice. Live from the official flathub.org API. Ideal for app catalogs and dashboards, software-center integrations, Linux developer tooling and install-analytics. Open data from Flathub.
