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

A community-maintained, curated catalog of 800+ free public APIs organized into 48 categories, browsable on a website and consumable via a free JSON API. It serves as a discovery resource for developers looking for open data and free API endpoints for their projects.

Use cases

  • find free public APIs for a side project
  • discover open data APIs by category
  • get a JSON feed of all public APIs
  • find free APIs for a hackathon
  • browse curated REST APIs for weather, finance, or anime
  • find beginner-friendly APIs to practice with

When to choose

  • you need to discover free or open APIs across many domains
  • you want a machine-readable JSON list of APIs to build tooling on top of
  • you want a community-vetted, actively maintained API directory

When to avoid

  • you need paid or premium API listings
  • you need detailed API documentation or SDKs rather than links and descriptions
  • you need guaranteed uptime or SLAs for the listed APIs
