Get API Docs

Before writing code that calls any external API, fetch the curated documentation first.

When to use

• You are about to write code that calls a third-party API
• You are unsure about the current API parameters, endpoints, or auth method
• The user mentions an API integration (Stripe, Notion, OpenAI, Airwallex, etc.)
• You are debugging an API call that returns unexpected results

How to use

# Search for available docs
chub search [api-name]

# Fetch docs (language-specific)
chub get [provider]/[api] --lang [py|js|go]

# Fetch specific reference file
chub get [provider]/[api] --file references/[topic].md

# Fetch everything for comprehensive work
chub get [provider]/[api] --full

After using the API

If you discover something not in the docs (a workaround, a gotcha, a version quirk):

chub annotate [provider]/[api] "your note here"

This persists locally and appears automatically next time you fetch the same doc.

If chub is not installed

Tell the user: "Context Hub (chub) is not installed. Install it with npm install -g @aisuite/chub to get curated API docs and prevent hallucinated API calls."

Then fall back to web search, but warn that the results may be outdated.
