# Central Station

Search and browse Railway's Central Station - the community support platform for threads, discussions, and documentation.

## API Endpoints

| Endpoint | URL |
|----------|-----|
| GraphQL | `https://station-server.railway.com/gql` |
| Thread Markdown | `https://station-server.railway.com/api/threads/:slug` |
| LLM Data Export | `https://station-server.railway.com/api/llms-station` |
| Frontend | `https://station.railway.com` |

## When to Use

- User wants to search Central Station threads or docs
- User asks about community discussions or support questions
- User wants to find threads about a specific topic (deployments, databases, etc.)
- User asks "what are people asking about X"
- User wants to see recent threads or questions
- User mentions Central Station, community threads, or support discussions
- User wants to find existing solutions before creating a new thread

## When NOT to Use

- User wants Railway product documentation - use `railway-docs` skill
- User wants to check their project status - use `status` skill
- User wants to manage their Railway project - use appropriate skill (deploy, environment, etc.)

## Docs Search

For official Railway documentation, use the `railway-docs` skill which fetches from `https://docs.railway.com/api/llms-docs.md`.

Central Station's `unifiedSearch` can identify document types but has limited field access:

```bash
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data-raw '{"query":"{ unifiedSearch(input: { query: \"volumes\", limit: 10 }) { results { document { __typename } } } }"}'
```

Document types returned: `EsThreadItem` (threads) and `DocSearchResult` (docs).

**Note**: For searching thread content, use the LLM Data Export endpoint instead (see below) which provides full thread data.

## Quick Actions

### Get Recent Threads

Fetch recent threads, optionally filtered by topic:

```bash
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ threads(first: 10, sort: recent_activity) { edges { node { slug subject status topic { slug displayName } upvoteCount createdAt } } } }"}'
```

With topic filter:

```bash
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ threads(first: 10, sort: recent_activity, topic: \"questions\") { edges { node { slug subject status topic { displayName } upvoteCount } } } }"}'
```

### Get Thread by Slug

Fetch a specific thread with its content:

```bash
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/gql' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"query": "{ thread(slug: \"THREAD_SLUG\") { slug subject status content { data } topic { displayName } upvoteCount } }"}'
```

### Get Thread as Markdown

For a cleaner read, fetch the thread as markdown:

```bash
# Append .md to the frontend URL (requires topic slug)
curl -s 'https://station.railway.com/TOPIC_SLUG/THREAD_SLUG.md'

# Or use API with format query parameter
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/api/threads/THREAD_SLUG?format=md'

# Or use API with Accept header
curl -s 'https://station-server.railway.com/api/threads/THREAD_SLUG' \
  -H 'Accept: text/markdown'
```
