Introducing PatchWRK Scanner — Public Beta Now Available

Introducing PatchWRK Scanner — Public Beta Now Available 🚀

Your APIs change. Your code stays ready.

Today, we're introducing PatchWRK Scanner, a free, open-source developer tool built to help developers understand the third-party API integrations their applications depend on.

Third-party APIs evolve. SDKs change, endpoints are deprecated, and AI models are retired. Understanding where those integrations exist in your code is an important first step toward keeping applications compatible.

That's where PatchWRK starts.

What PatchWRK Scanner does today

The experimental beta helps developers:

• Discover API integrations in JavaScript and TypeScript projects.
• Identify supported SDK patterns for Stripe, OpenAI, Anthropic, Shopify, and Twilio.
• Locate code evidence showing where supported integrations are detected.
• Review compatibility findings against a limited historical catalog of four Stripe and OpenAI change records.
• Run locally and offline, with read-only scanning that doesn't execute the scanned project's code.

The Scanner is experimental. Detection coverage is limited, and findings do not guarantee that an application is affected or broken.

Our bigger vision: PatchWRK Cloud

We're building toward the AI maintenance engineer for APIs.

PatchWRK Cloud is planned to help developers monitor API changes, understand their impact on specific code, prepare targeted AI-assisted repairs, verify proposed fixes, and create GitHub pull requests for human review.

Our primary focus is Impact Intelligence: connecting changes announced by API providers to the actual application code that may be affected, with evidence and clear uncertainty.

Cloud monitoring, AI repairs, and automated verification are future capabilities. They are not available today.

We're looking for early testers

If you're building applications with third-party APIs, we'd love your feedback.

We're especially interested in learning:

• Did the Scanner detect the integrations you expected?
• Were the results understandable and useful?
• Did you encounter incorrect or missing findings?
• Which API providers should we support next?
• Would you use PatchWRK again?
