Awesome list :)

There is also a website that provides 1400+ APIs in 30+ categories. It is named public apis and has 295k stars on GitHub.

This is a good list. But it’s worth adding a column that will display the free period; this is an important part for creating concepts and beginners.

Actually, everything was available on the website, including the categories list, free options, and other information, but I think it's not active anymore. (reason is the main issue linked on the repo)

Good list, but ahrefs API isn't free, they are only available to their paying customers (with no extra free)

Your list is gold. I found useful APIs I will start playing with.

One question @falselight, I don't think the information was shared in the comments

Where does this extensive list come from?

I knew public-api that @anmolbaranwal shared.

But your list is valuable so I'm curious if you have another source than "public-api", or of it's something you maintain by your own.

Thank you for compiling, very comprehensive!

To add on, WebCurate API category also provides many more useful API tools, including API directories, for those who want to dig further.
