[Feature]: Public Search API for Application Catalog

[Lasim]

Description

Overview

Create a versioned, public API endpoint that allows developers to search and retrieve detailed information about applications in the DeployStack catalog, similar to npm's package search API.

Current Situation

Currently, application information is only accessible through the deploystack.io website. There's no programmatic way to:

• Search for applications
• Retrieve container specifications
• Get deployment configurations

Suggested Solution

Proposed API Design

Base URL

https://deploystack.io/api/v1

Endpoints

1. Search Applications - GET /search?q={query}
2. Get Application Details - GET /apps/{app_name}

Technical Requirements

API Infrastructure

• RESTful API design
• API versioning (starting with v1)
• Rate limiting
• Authentication for higher rate limits
• CORS configuration
• API documentation using OpenAPI/Swagger

Search Functionality

First version will include the app_name variable

Documentation Requirements

• OpenAPI/Swagger specification
• Usage examples
• Rate limit documentation
• SDK examples in popular languages
