Docs Search

For official Railway documentation, use the railway-docs skill which fetches from https://docs.railway.com/api/llms-docs.md.

Central Station's unifiedSearch can identify document types but has limited field access:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"query":"{ unifiedSearch(input: { query: \"volumes\", limit: 10 }) { results { document { __typename } } } }"}'

Document types returned: EsThreadItem (threads) and DocSearchResult (docs).

Note: For searching thread content, use the LLM Data Export endpoint instead (see below) which provides full thread data.

Quick Actions

Get Recent Threads

Fetch recent threads, optionally filtered by topic:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ threads(first: 10, sort: recent_activity) { edges { node { slug subject status topic { slug displayName } upvoteCount createdAt } } } }"}'

With topic filter:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ threads(first: 10, sort: recent_activity, topic: \"questions\") { edges { node { slug subject status topic { displayName } upvoteCount } } } }"}'

Get Thread by Slug

Fetch a specific thread with its content:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ thread(slug: \"THREAD_SLUG\") { slug subject status content { data } topic { displayName } upvoteCount } }"}'

Get Thread as Markdown

For a cleaner read, fetch the thread as markdown:

bash

# Append .md to the frontend URL (requires topic slug)
curl -s 'https://station.railway.com/TOPIC_SLUG/THREAD_SLUG.md'
 
# Or use API with format query parameter
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/api/threads/THREAD_SLUG?format=md'
 
# Or use API with Accept header
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/api/threads/THREAD_SLUG' \
  -H 'Accept: text/markdown'

List Topics

Get all available topics:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ topics { slug displayName displayNamePlural } }"}'

Returns: questions, feedback, community, billing, bug-bounty, privacy, abuse, templates

Get Trending Threads

Fetch currently trending threads:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ trendingThreads { slug subject status topic { displayName } upvoteCount } }"}'

Get Pinned Threads

Fetch pinned/important threads:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ pinnedThreads { slug subject topic { displayName } } }"}'

Search via LLM Data Export

For searching thread content, fetch all threads and filter locally:

bash

curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/api/llms-station' | jq '.items[] | select(.title | test("postgres"; "i")) | {title, topic: .topic.name, status: .metadata.status}'

This endpoint returns all public threads with full content, useful for searching by keywords.

`SOLVED`	Marked as resolved
`AWAITING_RAILWAY_RESPONSE`	Waiting for Railway team
`AWAITING_USER_RESPONSE`	Waiting for original poster
