GTA Foundation — short for Get Tech API — maintains open data for every device.
We keep hardware specifications free, structured, and versioned — brands, SoCs, CPUs, GPUs, smartphones, tablets, watches, PDAs, laptops and monitors, plus a device catalog, software and websites. Every record is plain JSON, gated by automated validation, and served as a static REST API that anyone can query without a key.
| Repository | What it holds | Default branch |
|---|---|---|
| TechAPI | The dataset (one JSON file per record under data/) and the public site with the generated API |
develop |
| TechEngine | The engine around the data: validator, API server, static API generator, collectors and verification tiers | main |
| game-catalog | Satellite data repository: video game records, split out of TechAPI | develop |
| cpu-engineering-samples | Satellite data repository: engineering-sample CPUs, kept apart from the retail CPUs in TechAPI | develop |
| TechMachine | The organisation's repository health check and the scaffolder for new satellite repositories | develop |
| .github | This profile and the community files every repository inherits | main |
TechAPI --pins--> TechEngine (git submodule: validates the data, builds the API)

TechMachine --checks--> the other repositories (workflow runs, secrets, endpoints)
TechMachine --scaffolds--> new satellite data repositories
.github --shares--> contributing guide, default issue and PR templates
