## What it is
A REST API serving the catalog of entries from the public-apis GitHub project, supporting filtering by title, description, auth, HTTPS, CORS, and category. It is written in Go, requires no authentication, supports CORS, and is served over HTTPS.

## Use cases
- find free public apis by category
- search apis that need no authentication
- get a random api suggestion
- list all apis supporting cors
- query apis that support https
- browse the public-apis catalog programmatically

## When to choose
- you need programmatic access to the public-apis directory
- you want a no-auth, CORS-enabled API for a demo or app
- you need to filter APIs by auth type, HTTPS, or category

## When to avoid
- you need frequently updated data (last release was 2022)
- you need a general API search engine beyond the public-apis list
- you require guaranteed uptime or an SLA

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: search-engine, http-server, api-framework
- domain: apis, developer-tools
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: public-apis, directory-api, rest-api, cors, no-auth, search, web-server
