Trustfall — Engine for Querying (Almost) Everything
Trustfall is a query engine for querying any kind of data source, from APIs and databases to any kind of files on disk — and even AI models.

Try Trustfall in your browser
The Trustfall Playground supports running queries against public data sources such as:
- the HackerNews REST APIs: https://play.predr.ag/hackernews
- the rustdoc JSON of top Rust crates: https://play.predr.ag/rustdoc
For example, this link shows the results of the HackerNews query: "Which GitHub or Twitter users are commenting on stories about OpenAI?"
In the Playground, Trustfall is configured to run client-side as WASM, performing all aspects of query processing (parsing, compilation, and execution) within the browser. While this demo highlights Trustfall's ability to be embedded within a target application, it is of course able to be used in a more traditional client-server context as well.
10min tech talk + demo
Trustfall was featured in the "How to Query (Almost) Everything" talk talk at the HYTRADBOI 2022 conference.
Demo from the talk showing the execution of the cross-API query: "Which GitHub Actions are used in projects on the front page of HackerNews with >=10 points?"
The demo executes the following query across the HackerNews and GitHub APIs and over the YAML-formatted GitHub repository workflow files:
{
HackerNewsTop(max: 200) {
... on HackerNewsStory {
hn_score: score @filter(op: ">=", value: ["$min_score"]) @output
link {
... on GitHubRepository {
repo_url: url @output
workflows {
workflow: name @output
workflow_path: path @output
jobs {
job: name @output
step {
... on GitHubActionsImportedStep {
step: name @output
action: uses @output
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Instructions for
running the demo are available together with the source code in the
demo-hytradboi
directory: link.
Examples of querying real-world data with Trustfall
- HackerNews APIs, including an overview of the query language and an example of querying REST APIs.
- RSS/Atom feeds, showing how to query structured data like RSS/Atom feeds.
- airport weather data (METAR), showing how to query CSV data from aviation weather reports.
Trustfall also powers the cargo-semver-checks
semantic versioning linter.
More details on the role Trustfall plays in that use case are available in
this blog post.
Using Trustfall over a new data source
The easiest way to plug in a new data source is by implementing
the BasicAdapter
trait.
Python bindings are available, and are built automatically on every change to the engine; the most recent version may be downloaded here. A getting started guide for Python is forthcoming (tracking issue); in the meantime, the best resource is the Python bindings' test suite.

is a façade crate. This is the preferred way to use Trustfall.trustfall_core

is a procedural macro used to generate test cases defined by files: they ensure that the function under test, when given an input specified by one file, produces an output equivalent to the contents of another file.experiments
contains various experimental projects such as the Trustfall web playground.
