## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: dataset
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation
- domain: apis, developer-tools, awesome-lists
- platform: -
- tags: awesome-list, public-apis, api-directory, curated-list, reference, web
