Introducing API Endpoint Search at Scale (via LiveAPI)

Hello, I'm Shrijith. I'm building git-lrc, an AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. It is free, unlimited, and source-available on Github. Star Us to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback for improving the product.

Have you ever tried to find a specific API endpoint - from dozens of code repositories?

You may do a large-scale search on all your codebases, but the results are noisy.

So you ping your team mates and wait to get a response.

Or it so happens that - you never discover an API which was already implemented by another team - and end up implementing duplicate functionality.

If you've faced any ofthese sorts of issues, keep reading: because I believe we have something that could be of great help to you and your teams.

The Problem

  • Too many code repositories
  • Way too many API end points
  • Hard to find references and help around a particular end point
  • Requires back and forth with team mates to find what you need
  • Above process is hit or miss
  • Sometimes may lead to building up duplicate functionality

How LiveAPI provides a global searchable list of API endpoints in your code infrastructure

LiveAPI by Hexmos is a super-convenient API docs generator that operates at infrastructure scale.

With LiveAPI, you plug all your code repositories to let the tool automatically generate awesome API documentation in minutes.

While having a documentation - for every single API repository is in itself quite beneficial, this update to LiveAPI makes it even better.

Search is Central to Organizing Information And Making it Discoverable

We know the enormous value Google has added to the world with the following mission statement:

to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful

While LiveAPI's focus is a bit more specific and perhaps smaller in scope - search for APIs across all your code repositories is still a big step up from current scenario for API search and discovery.

The value of search goes up - as you have to deal with more API repositories and more endpoints.

You can pretty much type a few letters and probably immediately find what your're looking for (type in log and you'll find all the login endpoints anywhere in your code infra, etc).

But it's more than search - the whole experiences ships with more goodies

  • Automatic Doc Generation at Scale
  • 4 Types of Git Provider Connect
  • Non-Invasive - No Code Changes Required
  • VSCode Access to APIs/Docs (Upcoming)
  • Infrastructure-wide "Copilot" like chat on top of API intelligence

I have firm conviction on LiveAPI's potential to how Engineering teams function for the better

I firmly believe that is one of the first tool that aims to radically transform the API construction process - making it more convenient, less frustrating, and higher quality and so on.

And more importantly - Engineering Time is quite valuable; and as an integrated solution can save your team time/money while demanding manual efforts from your side.

Why

  • 🤖 AI agents silently break things. Code removed. Logic changed. Edge cases gone. You won't notice until production.
  • 🔍 Catch it before it ships. AI-powered inline comments show you exactly what changed and what looks wrong.
  • 🔁 Build a habit, ship better code. Regular review → fewer bugs → more robust code → better results in your team.
  • 🔗 Why git? Git is universal. Every editor, every IDE, every AI…
