Get Api Docs

This pulls live API documentation straight into your Claude session using the chub CLI, so you're working with current docs instead of Claude's potentially outdated training data. When you ask Claude to use the Stripe API or Anthropic SDK, it can fetch the actual reference first rather than guessing. The workflow is straightforward: search for the docs you need, fetch them with language-specific flags, then optionally annotate gotchas for future sessions. It's honest about a real problem with LLM coding help, which is that API shapes change and pre-trained knowledge gets stale fast. Worth having installed if you regularly work with third-party APIs.

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 - Ensure chub exists and get the latest instructions for using it

Run

chub --help

If this results in an error showing that chub does not exist, then install it first, and run it again. If the environment has node, npm, network access, and package-manager permission, install it as follows:

npm install -g @aisuite/chub

Step 2 — Find the right documents

If there is a conflict, follow the instructions from the output of chub --help since that will be the latest guidance. However, a key command for searching for the right documentation is chub search:
