Code Examples

Find real-world code examples across millions of public GitHub repositories using grep.app.

When to activate:

• User wants to see real-world code examples
• User asks "how do others implement X?"
• User wants to find usage patterns for a library/API
• User needs production code examples (not docs)

API endpoint:

Copycurl -s "https://grep.app/api/search?q={query}&page=1" | jq '.hits.hits[:5]'

Parameters:

Examples:

Search for useEffect usage in TypeScript:

Copycurl -s "https://grep.app/api/search?q=useEffect&f.lang=TypeScript&page=1" | jq '.hits.hits[:3]'

Copycurl -s "https://grep.app/api/search?q=createContext&f.repo.pattern=facebook/react&page=1" | jq '.hits.hits[:3]'

Response format:

• hits.hits[] - Array of search results
• Each hit contains: repo.raw (repo name), path.raw (file path), content.snippet (code snippet)
