glitch.com shutting down: enumerate and SCN the repos
The glitch.com service is shutting down its web hosting. Sounds like the code may remain up for a while, but the blog post isn't clear about that.
We’ll be ending web hosting for your apps on Glitch on July 8, 2025.
To enumerate all projects, fetch https://api.glitch.com/v1/projects/?limit=1000
and follow the link in the nextPage
value, until it is null or an empty string. The default order is by ascending creation date, so just before the deadline, reload the last URL you got, to find out if any new projects were created.
The projects are then in the items
array, unfortunately the gitRepoUrl
value in each project item is always null
. So take the domain
value and SCN https://api.glitch.com/git/$domain
instead. The plain URLs return HTTP 404 errors, but work in git ls-remote
. Some URLs will give HTTP 403 errors and others will work correctly. There is no indication in the data whether or not they will give an error.
