Is there any API to search magazines on kbin + lemmy? (kbin.social)

I'm currently trying to make a tool to search magazines to subscribe for based on my list of previously joined subreddits. But I can't seem to find the API to make that search?
Does anyone know by any chance? I'm surprised this is so hard to find.

It has been mentioned, but this is not a search. It is a way to list all local magazines of an instance. Does not go through the fediverse as far as I know.

You'd think I could read further down the page.

Sorry about that

Thanks. So there isn't really a search, you have to list all the magazines and do the search yourself it seems. Also calling https://kbin.social/api/magazines would only return local magazines right. So there is a need for a service doing that crawling/indexing of all magazines from all available instances regularly.

https://lemmyverse.net/ uses the Fediverse Observer API.
