Link to Amigadex, or put it on your site
Amigadex is free to link to and to reuse: no key, no sign-up, no cookie. Pick what suits your site or your forum. Everything below sends readers to the original sites; please keep it that way.
A link
The simplest: a line in your links page, your signature or your sidebar.
<a href="https://amigadex.com/">Amigadex: search Amiga news, projects and sites</a>
A badge
For a website:
<a href="https://amigadex.com/"><img src="https://amigadex.com/badge.svg" alt="Amigadex: search the Amiga world"></a>
For a project's README on GitHub, GitLab or Codeberg, pointing at its page on Amigadex (the address is on the project's page, under “Badge for your README”):
[](https://amigadex.com/projects/123)
A search box
A form on your page that searches Amigadex. No script: it opens the results here.
<form action="https://amigadex.com/search" method="get"> <input name="q" placeholder="Search the Amiga world"> <button>Search Amigadex</button> </form>
To search one kind only, point the form at /news, /projects or
/web (the community pages) instead of /search.
The browser's search bar
Amigadex describes itself to browsers (OpenSearch): in Firefox, right-click the address bar on this page and choose “Add Amigadex”; in Chrome and Edge, it shows up in Settings → Search engine → Manage search engines once you have searched here. Then type your words in the address bar.
A news widget
The latest news, forum threads or releases, in a frame on your page. Links open the original site. It sets no cookie and runs no script; it follows the reader's light or dark mode unless you choose one.
Feeds
Every list on Amigadex is also an Atom and RSS feed, with the same filters, for a forum sidebar, a feed reader or a bot: see Feeds.

JSON API
Read-only, no key, callable from a page on any site (CORS). Each returns total and
items, 20 per page (page=2...).
/api/news?q=&platform=&source=&kind= | news; kind: news, discussions, releases or all |
/api/projects?q=&platform=&category=&sort= | open source projects |
/api/projects/<id>/similar | the projects close to one |
/api/sites?q=&kind=&platform= | community websites |
/api/web?q= | pages of the community sites |
/api/check?description= | projects close to an idea |
/api/status | when the index was last refreshed |
All on https://amigadex.com.
Be gentle: cache what you fetch, a few requests a minute is plenty. Nothing in the answers is Amigadex's own text: titles and summaries belong to their sites, which the links credit.
