Sourcegraph API
GraphQL API for Sourcegraph's code search and intelligence platform, enabling universal code search across repositories, code navigation, batch changes, and code insights.
Best When
You have a large, multi-repository codebase and need to search, navigate, or make changes across it programmatically.
Avoid When
You're working in a single small repository or don't need cross-repository code intelligence.
Use Cases
- • Searching across all repositories for patterns, usages, and definitions
- • Finding all call sites or references to a function across a large codebase
- • Automating large-scale code changes with Batch Changes API
- • Querying code insights and metrics for engineering leadership dashboards
- • Building AI coding tools that need semantic code understanding at scale
Not For
- • Teams without Sourcegraph instance (self-hosted or Sourcegraph.com)
- • Simple single-repo searches (use GitHub/GitLab search instead)
- • Real-time collaborative coding
