# VOTARO

> A community-ranked leaderboard to discover, rank and list the best new products and websites. The **leaderboard** ranks community-voted products by all-time score (one vote per hour); every product has its own `/apps/<slug>` detail page.

## Key pages
- [The board](https://www.votaro.app/): ranked leaderboard
- [New this week](https://www.votaro.app/new): recently approved products
- [Submit an app](https://www.votaro.app/submit): add to the leaderboard (human form)
- [Featured slots](https://www.votaro.app/featured)

## Machine-readable endpoints (no auth, CDN-cached — poll sparingly)
- [Full catalog JSON](https://www.votaro.app/api/catalog.json): the whole leaderboard in one document
- [Board JSON](https://www.votaro.app/api/v1/board): ranked leaderboard items (`?category=`, `?limit=`)
- [Search JSON](https://www.votaro.app/api/v1/search): hybrid keyword + semantic search over the board (`?q=`, `?category=`, `?limit=`)
- `POST https://www.votaro.app/api/v1/prepare`: agents can draft a listing for a product's maker — `{ url, category?, details?, tags?, pricing?, platforms? }` runs the submit pre-checks and returns a `/submit?draft=` link. Nothing is published; the maker must open the link, review and submit it themselves (20/hr per IP). See openapi.json for the full schema.
- [OpenAPI 3.1 spec](https://www.votaro.app/openapi.json)
- [MCP server](https://www.votaro.app/mcp): JSON-RPC 2.0, read tools (search_apps (semantic + keyword), get_app, top_apps, list_categories) plus prepare_listing, which only drafts a /submit link for the human maker
- [Full text index](https://www.votaro.app/llms-full.txt): this file plus the entire catalog inline
