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

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

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:

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.

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 down --label outdated     # doc needs updating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outdated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

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
