Hey devs! ๐
I'm Buฤra, a full-stack developer and CTO, and I've been working on a side project called Apixies.io. It's a collection of small, focused APIs designed to solve specific problems without unnecessary complexity.
Currently, Apixies.io offers endpoints like:
SSL Health Inspector: Check the SSL certificate status of any domain.
Security Headers Inspector: Analyze HTTP security headers for best practices.
Email Inspector: Validate and inspect email addresses for proper formatting and domain checks.
User Agent Inspector: Parse and identify details from user agent strings.
HTML to PDF Converter: Convert HTML content into PDF documents.
All APIs are free to use, require no authentication for testing, and come with generous rate limits during the beta period. You can explore the full documentation and try them out here: https://apixies.io
I'm looking to expand this toolbox and would love your input:
What micro APIs would be helpful in your projects?
How's the user experience? Any suggestions for improvement?
Would you be interested in collaborating to develop new APIs?
Feel free to share your thoughts or suggest new endpoints directly on the site. Let's build something useful together!
Thanks for checking it out!

Hey Buฤra, Apixies.io looks super useful, love the focused, no-frills approach to micro APIs!
You should definitely consider launching it on Startups Lab - it's a growing hub for indie makers and SaaS founders to share their products, get early feedback, and reach more people. Would be awesome to see Apixies.io featured there! ๐

Hey Hardik. Thank you very much for your comment. I will most definitely check it out.
That's awesome, Thanks!
love seeing free tools like this pop up tbh - makes me wanna mess with building stuff again. you ever think about what actually keeps you wanting to add more? like is it the feedback or just building for the sake of it?
Hi Nero. Thanks for your comment. For me it's the problem-solving challenge and seeing the results take shape. I sometimes go weeks without external feedback, but the process itself is what keeps me coming back. The "building for the sake of it" part definitely resonates - there's something satisfying about creating something functional from nothing.
Cool project! I think an interesting couple of features would be getting the user's location and language based on IP.
Thanks for your comment. I can see why this could be a useful API! Getting a user's location from their IP is pretty straightforward, but figuring out their language is mostly guesswork. You can try suggesting languages based on the country or region, but it gets tricky in places like India or China where many languages are spoken. Showing a list of commonly spoken languages in that area might be a good alternative
That's a great alternative! I support it ๐
Hey Wassim!
You sparked something โ I built the ip-geolocation endpoint literally the day after your comment and released it this morning!
Check it out: apixies.io/docs/ip-geolocation
Appreciate the inspiration โ let me know what you think!
So happy to hear that! I'm glad my feedback inspired you, keep building ๐ช
this is pretty cool, i never get tired of tools that just work without a ton of steps - you ever worry the simple stuff delivers more value than the fancy features everyone chases?
Thanks Nevo! That was exactly my thinking when building this. In my day-to-day development work, I noticed how much time gets spent just finding and implementing simple utility APIs. It's surprising how often the straightforward tools end up being the most valuable.
I created Apixies because I wanted something that developers could just grab and use immediately without any friction. There's something satisfying about building tools that solve specific problems without unnecessary complexity. Glad you appreciate my approach!
Super useful!
Thanks Burga I will check it out and give you a feedback
