Crafting Step by Step

Crafting Step by Step Citation API

Public, unauthenticated JSON endpoint documented in the site's llms.txt that returns a slim machine-readable rendition of a tutorial by slug (title, TL;DR, steps as plain prose, difficulty, project time and cost, last-updated), described by the provider as the canonical machine-readable form for citing a tutorial.
