Qiita Developer Community API
Articles, engagement and trending tech tags from Qiita (qiita.com), Japan's largest developer knowledge-sharing community, read keyless from its public v2 API. Qiita is where Japanese engineers post how-tos, deep-dives and notes, and where the community signals quality with LGTM ("looks good to me") likes and "stocks" (saves) — the Japanese counterpart to dev.to or Medium's engineering side, with its own metrics and its own tech-topic rankings. The articles endpoint searches and lists articles, each with its title, LGTM likes, stocks (saves), comment count, tags and author — filterable by keyword, tag and a minimum-stocks threshold so you can surface the popular pieces. The article endpoint returns one article in full by its id. The tags endpoint ranks Qiita's tech tags by how many articles and followers they have — the live map of what Japanese engineers care about (Python, AWS, React and the rest). This is the Qiita platform cut — a distinct social and developer platform, separate from dev.to, Medium and the other blogging and social feeds in the catalogue, with its own LGTM/stock engagement model. Likes are LGTM up-votes and stocks are saves/bookmarks — two distinct Qiita signals; follower and article counts are the real, live community numbers. Titles and tags are in Japanese (and English) as Qiita publishes them. Qiita rate-limits unauthenticated callers, so a longer protective cache fronts the upstream and stale data is served if the limit is hit. Keyless.
