## What it is
A large curated directory of over 11,000 public APIs organized into 24 categories, maintained as a GitHub awesome-list. It serves as a reference resource for developers looking to discover APIs for building applications, automations, and data collection tools.

## Use cases
- find public apis for a project
- discover apis for web scraping
- list of free apis to build automations
- api directory by category
- find ecommerce or social media apis
- apis for lead generation tools

## When to choose
- you want to browse a broad, categorized catalog of public APIs before building
- you need inspiration for which APIs exist in a domain like e-commerce, real estate, or social media
- you want a frequently updated awesome-list style reference

## When to avoid
- you need executable code or SDKs rather than a list of links
- you need guaranteed quality or vetting of each listed API
- you require a license-guaranteed resource - the repo has no license file

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, web-scraping, workflow-automation, data-science
- domain: developer-tools, apis, awesome-lists
