IndieSheet API & developer docs

Read the IndieSheet launch directory from code, scripts and AI agents.

IndieSheet offers a small public, read-only JSON API over its directory of independent software products. It is the same data that powers indiesheet.com, so it is always current.

Machine-readable resources

OpenAPI 3.1 specification at /openapi.json: every endpoint with an operation ID, typed parameters and response schemas, ready for function calling.
llms.txt: a guide for AI agents, with when to use IndieSheet and links to every page as Markdown.
Markdown pages: send Accept: text/markdown to any page, or append .md to its path, for example /tool/rotli.md.
Sitemap: every public URL.

Authentication

None. The API is public and read-only, so there is no API key, token or sign-up. Base URL: https://indiesheet.com. Submitting a launch, upvoting and editing a listing require a signed-in person on the website and are not available through the API.

Errors and fair use

Errors return JSON as { "error": "message" } with a matching HTTP status, such as 404 for an unknown product. Unknown pages answer 404 and removed pages 410. The data changes a few times a day, so cache responses rather than polling. Questions or a use case the API does not cover yet? Contact us.
