How It Works
-
Search mode: Uses iFixit's public API v2.0 search endpoint to find guides matching keywords. Each result is then fetched via the guide detail endpoint for full data.
-
Guide mode: Fetches specific guides directly via the API using guide IDs extracted from URLs or provided directly.
-
API-based: All data comes from iFixit's JSON API, providing clean structured data without HTML parsing.
Notes
- iFixit's search API returns up to 200 results per query
- Guide detail includes full step-by-step data with text and image URLs
- Rate limited to 3 concurrent requests to be respectful to the API
- Tools and parts are extracted as string arrays from the guide data
