get-api-docs

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Use this skill when you need documentation for a third-party library, SDK, or API before writing code that uses it — for example, "use the OpenAI API", "call the Stripe API", "use the Anthropic SDK", "query Pinecone", or any time the user asks you to write code against an external service and you need current API reference. Fetch the docs with chub before answering, rather than relying on training knowledge.

Get API Docs via chub

When you need documentation for a library or API, fetch it with the

chub

CLI rather than guessing from training data. This gives you the current, correct API.

Step 1 — Find the right doc ID

bash

chub search "<library name>" --json

Pick the best-matching

id

from the results (e.g.

openai/chat

,

anthropic/sdk

,

stripe/api

). If nothing matches, try a broader term.

Step 2 — Fetch the docs

bash

chub get <id> --lang py    # or --lang js, --lang ts

Omit

--lang

if the doc has only one language variant — it will be auto-selected.

Step 3 — Use the docs

Read the fetched content and use it to write accurate code or answer the question. Do not rely on memorized API shapes — use what the docs say.

Step 4 — Annotate what you learned

After completing the task, if you discovered something not in the doc — a gotcha, workaround, version quirk, or project-specific detail — save it so future sessions start smarter:

bash

chub annotate <id> "Webhook verification requires raw body — do not parse before verifying"

Annotations are local, persist across sessions, and appear automatically on future

chub get

calls. Keep notes concise and actionable. Don't repeat what's already in the doc.

Step 5 — Give feedback

Rate the doc so authors can improve it. Ask the user before sending.

bash

chub feedback <id> up                        # doc worked well
chub feedback <id> down --label outdated     # doc needs updating

Available labels:

outdated

,

inaccurate

,

incomplete

,

wrong-examples

,

wrong-version

,

poorly-structured

,

accurate

,

well-structured

,

helpful

,

good-examples

.

Quick reference

Goal	Command
List everything	`chub search`
Find a doc	`chub search "stripe"`
Exact id detail	`chub search stripe/api`
Fetch Python docs	`chub get stripe/api --lang py`
Fetch JS docs	`chub get openai/chat --lang js`
Save to file	`chub get anthropic/sdk --lang py -o docs.md`
Fetch multiple	`chub get openai/chat stripe/api --lang py`
Save a note	`chub annotate stripe/api "needs raw body"`
List notes	`chub annotate --list`
Rate a doc	`chub feedback stripe/api up`

Notes

```
chub search
```
with no query lists everything available
IDs are
```
<author>/<name>
```
— confirm the ID from search before fetching
If multiple languages exist and you don't pass
```
--lang
```
, chub will tell you which are available
