cocoapods API for agents (unofficial) — JSON over curl | clify
CocoaPods.org is the public registry of Swift/Objective-C libraries (pods). This CLI searches pods by keyword through the site's Algolia index and reads pod detail pages, pod changelogs and owner profiles.
Host: cocoapods.org. Call these verified read commands with plain curl; no install, key, or account. Use the public JSON API with plain curl. No install, key, account, or browser is needed. Example: curl 'https://clify-dev.netlify.app/sites.json'. Start with /search?q=weather, then call /abc/COMMAND. Responses are one JSON object. The hosted MCP and GitHub repo are also available.
