According to the documentation, you're right, but according to this piece of code, I think it should return only the pairs.

It can be found in "apertium_apy\handlers\list_modes.py"

And the live version of apertium-apy supports my claims, so if you tried to call this https://apertium.org/apy/listPairs and https://apertium.org/apy/list they will give you the exact same result.

Try beta.apertium.org. I believe other modes are listed. They're disabled in the config on the production site.

I think you've found the source of the issue. This could be repaired easily then. The question is then whether the docs or the code is right. @sushain97, @TinoDidriksen, @unhammer?

Both the /list and /listPairs routes are handled by the same route-handler ListHandler, that's where the problem lies.

Not necessarily. A well-written function can be used for related but different things.

As of what I've checked, even https://apertium.org/apy/listPairs?q=analyzers returns the JSON having the analyzers, which isn't expected behaviour.

That is exactly expected behaviour. Everything looks good here.

@jonorthwash please check if PR #230 does what you're looking for, let me know if any further adjustments are to be made.

According to the docs, this is not what this endpoint is intended to do, nothing in the documentation mentioned that if no query parameter is passed then it gets all the available modes. It is mentioned in the function of the endpoint /list, however, it is not shown in the output section so you don't know whether this is right or not in business terms.

@Mohab96 The issue's author highlighted that, based on the documentation, the expected behavior of the /list endpoint is to return all mode names, not solely language pairs.

According to the documentation, /list should be returning all mode names, not just language pairs.

Consequently, I pursued this approach. Let's await further clarification from the author to ensure alignment with expectations.

According to the documentation, /list should be returning all mode names, not just language pairs.

I think the original intent was that /list, /list?q=pairs and /listPairs all returned identical output.

The documentation does not make the behavior of /list clear.

We could take one of three options:

1. Clarify the documentation to match the current implementation.
2. Change the semantics of /list similar to fixed #206 #230.
3. Maintain the semantics of /list but add a new /list?q=all similar to fixed #206 #230.

I'm biased against (2) since it's backwards incompatible (albeit likely not a big deal). Option (3) would further complicate the potential return types of /list which isn't ideal, IMO. It's already weird enough. That would leave option (1) as by default. Users like the APy build currently just issue 4 requests if they need all the modes. But, if that's particularly undesirable, (3) isn't terrible.
