| Abstract: | Stack Overflow and GitHub are two popular platforms containing API-related resources for developers to learn how to use APIs. The platforms are good sources for information about API such as code examples, usages, sentiment, bug reports, etc. However, it is difficult to collect the correct resources regarding a particular API due to the ambiguity of an API method name. An API method name mentioned in the text would only refer to one API, but the method name could match with different APIs. To help people in finding the correct resources for a particular API, we introduce ARSearch. ARSearch finds Stack Overflow threads that mention the particular API and their relevant code examples from GitHub. We demonstrate our tool by a video available at https://youtu.be/Rr-zTfUD_z0.
