What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A collaboratively curated list of 1400+ public APIs for developers, organized by category such as finance, weather, health, and entertainment. It serves as a discovery directory rather than a software tool, with an accompanying website at publicapis.dev.

Use cases

  • find free public apis for my project
  • discover weather or finance apis to integrate
  • browse a curated directory of open apis
  • find apis that don't require payment
  • look up api alternatives by category
  • find test data or mock apis for development

When to choose

  • you want to discover public APIs by category before building an integration
  • you need free or open APIs for a prototype or side project
  • you want a community-maintained reference of API resources

When to avoid

  • you need an SDK, client library, or code to call APIs
  • you need guaranteed up-to-date API documentation or SLAs
  • you want a searchable API marketplace with pricing and auth details
