# A quickstart for the public domain APIs

The [public API documentation](/docs/) now has a [quickstart](/docs/quickstart)
for fetching the catalog and searching by project description. You need no
account, API key, or SDK package.

The [API reference](/developers/api/) lets you browse endpoints, parameters,
and response schemas. It follows your saved site theme, with Catppuccin
colors for code previews. You can still read the reference when JavaScript
is unavailable.

Read the pages in HTML or Markdown, or fetch the [full guide](/llms-full.txt)
in one request. The [public agent guide](/AGENTS.md) explains prices, retries,
and the limits of the read-only interfaces. A [skills index](/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json)
helps compatible agents find the catalog instructions and verify their content.

These interfaces help you find and review names. They cannot reserve or buy a
domain, send messages, sign in, or access private portfolio records.
