Discover every content family in the current prepared public snapshot, including scope, eligible document counts and export paths. No generation or provider checks run on reads.
Enumerate registered eligible public document summaries, optionally within one family. Follow nextCursor with the same family and version. Use get_public_document for full text and every semantic part; summaries are not full records.
Search prepared public document text across families. Results are attributed summaries, with detailUrl and explicit version-bound continuation. Fetch the full relevant record before answering; no arbitrary URL fetch or external provider is invoked.
Fetch full public Markdown for a registered document ID, with canonical attribution and freshness. Follow nextPart at the returned version until nextPart is null, then concatenate Markdown parts in order. complete means the entire document fits in this response. Each decoded part is bounded; no private files, arbitrary URLs, SQL or external checks are accepted. A stale or revoked version requires restarting discovery.
Search public IndieTools products and discoverable founders. Paid placement does not alter result order.
List public products newest first with bounded pagination.
Read one public product by its canonical slug, including its effective public SEO, GEO, FAQ and product facts. Use this detail for product-specific answers; list and search results are summaries. Private drafts and commercial preparation are excluded.
List discoverable IndieTools founder profiles with bounded pagination.
Read one discoverable founder profile by its canonical slug.
List public product categories and their public product counts with bounded pagination. Follow pagination.hasNext for all categories.
List active technologies used by public products with bounded pagination. Follow pagination.hasNext for all technologies.
List the latest or a selected finalized IndieTools Speed board, optionally within one category. ISO-week and category filters resolve the same permanent editions as the public archive. Every result is an IndieTools Product and links to its canonical Product page.
