chmod API
A Unix file-permission calculator as an API. Convert a symbolic permission string (rwxr-xr-x) to its octal mode (755) and back, and explain any mode in plain English with a per-class breakdown (owner / group / others, each read / write / execute). Full support for the special bits — setuid (4), setgid (2) and the sticky bit (1) — so 4755 ↔ rwsr-xr-x and 1777 ↔ rwxrwxrwt are handled correctly, including the capital S/T forms. Perfect for Dockerfiles and CI scripts, deployment and provisioning tooling, teaching, and any time you need to double-check a chmod value. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 4 endpoints. Distinct from anything that touches real files or networking.

AUR API
The Arch User Repository (AUR) as an API. Look up any AUR package for its version, description, upstream URL, maintainer and submitter, community votes and popularity score, license, out-of-date flag, keywords and full dependency lists (depends, make-depends, opt-depends), plus its source snapshot and ready-to-run git-clone command; search the whole AUR by name, description, maintainer, dependencies or keywords (results sorted by popularity); and list every package maintained by a given user. Covers the 90,000+ community-maintained packages of Arch Linux, from yay, paru and visual-studio-code-bin to google-chrome and spotify. Live from the official AUR RPC. Ideal for Arch/AUR helpers and dashboards, package and dependency tooling, and Linux developer portals. Open data from the Arch User Repository.

Flathub API
The Linux desktop-app store — Flathub (Flatpak) — as an API. Look up any app by its reverse-DNS id for its name, summary and description, developer, license, categories, homepage / bug-tracker / donation links, latest version and release date, screenshot count and total install count; search the whole store by keyword; and read an app's install statistics, including last-month and last-7-day installs and the top countries. Every app comes with the exact `flatpak install` command. Covers the Linux desktop from Firefox, Blender, GIMP, OBS Studio and Inkscape to VLC, Krita and LibreOffice. Live from the official flathub.org API. Ideal for app catalogs and dashboards, software-center integrations, Linux developer tooling and install-analytics. Open data from Flathub.

RAID Calculator API
RAID storage-array maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically. The capacity endpoint computes the usable and raw capacity, the storage efficiency and the fault tolerance of a RAID level — RAID 0 stripes for n×disk with no redundancy, RAID 1 mirrors to one disk and tolerates n−1 failures, RAID 5 gives (n−1)×disk with one-disk tolerance, RAID 6 gives (n−2)×disk with two-disk tolerance, and RAID 10 gives (n/2)×disk — and reports the minimum disks each level needs. The compare endpoint lays the levels side by side for the same disks and disk size so you can weigh capacity against redundancy. The rebuild endpoint estimates how long it takes to rebuild a single disk at a given rebuild speed, the window during which a second failure would lose data in RAID 5/6. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for storage, NAS, server and IT-admin app developers, capacity-planning and procurement tools, and homelab calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 endpoints. This is RAID array sizing; for data-transfer time use a transfer API.

Air Compressor API
Compressed-air maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the receiver, pump-up and SCFM numbers a pneumatics tech or shop owner sizes a system with. The receiver-size endpoint gives the tank you need to ride out a demand burst: volume = demand (free-air CFM) × minutes × 14.7 ÷ the usable pressure window (max − min) — pulling 20 CFM for a minute over a 175-to-100 psi window wants about a 30-gallon receiver, the buffer that lets the pump catch up. The pumpup endpoint gives the time to raise a receiver from one pressure to another: volume × pressure rise ÷ (14.7 × compressor CFM), so a 60-gallon tank from 100 to 175 psi on a 15 CFM compressor takes about 2.7 minutes. The scfm endpoint corrects actual CFM to standard CFM for the inlet conditions — SCFM = ACFM × (inlet pressure ÷ 14.696) × (528 ÷ inlet temperature in Rankine) — so a compressor at 5,000 feet delivers about 17 % fewer SCFM than at sea level, the reason you size tools on SCFM, not the nameplate. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for pneumatics and shop-air apps, compressor-sizing and tool-demand tools, industrial-air calculators, and trade aids. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. Estimates — duty cycle and the pump curve shift real numbers.
