Sourcegraph is a code intelligence platform that lets developers and AI agents search, navigate, understand, and modify code across very large, multi-repo codebases. The platform pairs classic code search and code intelligence (jump-to-definition, references, batch changes) with AI products — Cody (in-IDE AI coding assistant), Amp (frontier coding agent with its own CLI and plugin system), and Deep Search (a natural-language code research agent). Sourcegraph instances expose a versioned external REST API introduced in v7.0, a streaming search API, an analytics API, webhooks, an MCP server, and the historical GraphQL API kept available for migration. The src CLI is the long-standing command-line client.
Sourcegraph publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Code Intelligence, Code Search, Cody, AMP, and AI Coding Agent.
Sourcegraph’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, API reference, engineering blog, CLI, pricing, support, and 14 more developer resources.
Open Source Surface applies to this provider. This product is open source and we
read its repository directly, so Open Source Surface carries
10 points of the composite. It is scored from what the repository actually
publishes — a security policy, a contribution guide, a release history, a code of conduct — read live from the
provider rather than inferred from our own catalog pointers.
This facet adds; nothing was taken away to make room for it. An open-source project is not excused from
the commercial facets, because exemption would strip it of the points it does earn.
If we have the wrong repository, or this product is not open source, say so on your
provider repo and we
will drop the facet rather than have you publish against it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 90 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
10. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 90% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
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/sourcegraph: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
