Qiita API

Qiita is a technical knowledge sharing platform popular in Japan. This skill provides integration for searching articles, publishing content, and interacting with the community.

When to Use

  • Search technical articles on Qiita
  • Get articles by tag or user
  • Publish technical articles
  • Read and post comments
  • Get trending tags and topics

Prerequisites

Set the following environment variable:

bash
export QIITA_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token

Get your access token from: https://qiita.com/settings/tokens/new

Important: Environment Variables and Pipes

When using environment variables in commands with pipes, always wrap the command in bash -c '...' and keep the pipe outside. This ensures proper variable substitution:

bash
# Good - wraps curl in bash -c, pipe is outside
bash -c 'curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QIITA_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.qiita.com/api/v2/users'

# Bad - environment variable with pipe causes issues
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${QIITA_ACCESS_TOKEN}" https://api.qiita.com/api/v2/users
