Shove OpenAPI specification
The Shove API is described by OpenAPI 3.0.3. Every operation has a unique operationId, a description, typed parameters, and response schemas so agents can register function calls without guessing.
- /openapi.json — well-known spec
- /api/openapi.json — same document
Shove public API
Unauthenticated REST. Start at GET /api for the catalog, or GET /api/health for a liveness check that names the product Shove.
GET /api/board— live global board. Add?category={slug}. Slugs: ai, devtools, seo, crypto, health, marketing, business, design, social, other.GET /api/listings— search public listings. Query: q, category, limit, offset.GET /api/listings/{id}— one public listing and its rank.GET /api/fame— weekly hall of fame.GET /api/meta?url=— Open Graph title, description, image, favicon.
Errors are JSON: { error: { code, message, hint } }. Claim tokens, receipt emails, and manage URLs are not public.
Shove authentication
There is no OAuth, no API key, and no account. Read endpoints are public. After checkout you receive a private manage URL with a claim token. That token is the only credential for topping up or crown-locking. Shove does not ship an MCP server.
Shove webhooks
POST /api/webhook/dodo-payments is the Dodo Payments webhook. It is signed for Dodo, not a public subscribe endpoint. Do not call it as a client. POST /api/checkout starts a payment and returns { url }. GET /api/demo-pay is local and demo only.
Helpers the site uses
GET /go/{id} increments public clicks and 302s to the listing URL. GET /og/{id} is the share card. GET /embed/{id} is an SVG badge that reads Shove #N · $X.
