Aider

Aider is an open-source, terminal-based AI pair programmer that edits code directly inside a developer's local Git repository. Written in Python and distributed via PyPI under the Apache 2.0 license, Aider is a BYO-LLM tool: the user supplies API keys for hosted models (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral, xAI, GROQ, Cohere, GitHub Copilot, Azure OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Vertex AI) or points it at local models running through Ollama, LM Studio, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Distinguishing capabilities include a repository-wide codebase map that lets the model reason about files it has not been shown, multi-file architectural edits with diff-based patching, automatic Git commits with conventional commit messages, a lint/test/repair loop, image and URL context, voice-to-code, and an IDE bridge via `--watch-files` that picks up `AI!` / `AI?` comments written from any editor. Aider supports 100+ programming languages via tree-sitter, publishes a public LLM coding leaderboard (the polyglot benchmark across C++, Go, Java, JavaScript, Python, Rust), and has accumulated 45K+ GitHub stars with 4.5K+ forks. The product surface is a rich CLI (40+ in-chat slash commands across four chat modes: code, architect, ask, help) plus a Python module entrypoint (`python -m aider`); there is no hosted SaaS, no Aider-operated REST API, and no app-level rate-limiting or billing — all model inference is delegated to the user's chosen provider, and any pricing, rate limits, and FinOps surface live with that provider.

Aider publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Chat API, Editing API, Files API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, AI Pair Programming, Developer Tools, CLI, and Command Line.

The Aider catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Aider’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, changelog, tooling, and 30 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/aider: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    the CLI apply to module invocation. There is no documented stable Python SDK contract beyond `main()` — the internal `Coder`,
    `Model`, `IO`, and `Commands` classes are public but versioned with the CLI and may change between releases.
