You can rate a saved example using its solution identifier or submit feedback for a session. Each successful submission saves a new feedback record. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.githits.dev/v1/openapi.json post /v1/feedback openapi: 3.1.0 info: description: >- Explore package metadata, security advisories, dependencies, documentation and source code with the GitHits API. ## Choose an operation | Task | Operations | | --- | --- | | Inspect a package | Release metadata, vulnerabilities and dependencies | | Review releases or upgrades | Changelog and batch upgrade reviews | | Read documentation | List package documentation, then read a page | | Navigate source code | List files, read a file or search text within a target | | Compare source trees | Compare files, line statistics and patches between package versions or repository refs | | Discover relevant content | Search across packages, repositories and documentation sites; retrieve a search's status and retained results | | Resolve a target name | Find ranked package, repository and documentation-site targets | | Ask a cited question | Generate an answer grounded in a package, repository or documentation site, or continue a conversation | | Generate an example | Generate and save a code example, then submit feedback | | Find a language identifier | Search supported programming languages | ## Authenticate and send requests The production API origin is `https://api.githits.dev`; development uses `https://api-dev.githits.dev`. Examples target production. Replace `` with your GitHits token. Send the token in `Authorization: Bearer `. JSON request bodies use `Content-Type: application/json`; public JSON field names use `snake_case`. Percent-encode a package name or opaque read target as one path segment, including any embedded slash. For query values, encode a literal plus sign as `%2B`; ordinary form decoding interprets `+` as a space. Each operation documents its accepted parameters and encoding rules. ## Select the data you need Where supported, `fields` is a comma-separated **query parameter**, including on POST requests. Omit it to use the operation's defaults. Supplying it replaces those defaults; required identity and information needed to interpret the result remain present. A **selector** names a supported **group** of response fields. Groups are atomic: their members are selected together. A **wildcard bundle**, such as `vulnerabilities.*`, selects only the groups listed for that bundle. A bare group does not automatically include nested groups. Arbitrary subfields and undeclared wildcards are not supported. Each operation lists its selectors, defaults, dependencies and the data they return. Selection can reduce transferred data without reducing the work needed to produce it; consult its parameter and response field documentation. Small fixed responses do not offer `fields`. ## Interpret responses and errors An omitted optional field can mean unselected or unavailable data, according to the operation's contract. Null has an operation-specific meaning: it can mark unavailable or inapplicable data, or an unselected search result. Empty arrays, zero and false are values, not substitutes for unavailable data. Always retain the result's completeness and freshness information when displaying or processing it. **Requested** identity records caller intent; **resolved** identity records what that intent resolved to; **served** identity identifies the artifact that produced the response. These can differ while indexing or refresh work continues. Use served identity when an exact follow-up read is required, preserving package-relative or repository-relative path scope. Errors normally use `application/problem+json`. Branch on the stable `code`, not the human-readable `detail`. Include `X-Request-ID` when reporting a problem; error `instance` matches that ID. Respect `Retry-After` when present. If request identity cannot be created, the response is an empty HTTP 500 without a request ID. Responses use `Cache-Control: no-store`. Timeouts do not guarantee that work stopped. Read the documented timeout responses, especially for Ask, generated examples and append-only feedback. Optional `X-GitHits-*` request headers attribute client, agent and session usage. The OpenAPI extension `x-githits-cost` is provisional operation metadata, not a price or a measure of computation. ## Contract status This API is pre-production.
