Useful list. I'd also like to add this website (API Tracker), which has the world's biggest API search engine.

Christophe Colombier • Jun 22 • Edited

This site is not open-source, right?

Not a real problem, but I would like to know if I could find the GitHub to watch modifications

I knew the following one, but not

Deepak Kumar • Jun 20

Max Malm • Jun 23

Why is everyone posting about how useful this list it? Bots? It's tbh not that useful

tacodes • Jun 23

Max! What APIs do you consider more useful? It would be great to add some value to your criticism so that their next article will satisfy you

Max Malm • Jun 23 • Edited

Useful for what?

Thanks for replying

tacodes • Jun 23

"to be honest it's not that useful"

So, what's useful to you? Please share! Add some value with your words!

Max Malm • Jun 23

I didn't make this post, do you think it's useful? If so, what do you think it's useful for?

Andreas • Jun 21

Deepak, thank you for the API compilation. I am sad though, that you included the insults api. As educated people, I doubt nurturing lower insticts and behaviours promoting harshness and violence 'for fun' or 'testing' helps anyone be happy.

Deepak Kumar • Jun 21

Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate your concerns regarding the inclusion of the insults API. You're absolutely right that promoting positive and respectful behavior is important, especially in a professional context. I'll make sure to be more mindful of this in the future. If there's anything specific you would like to see or avoid in my future compilations, please let me know.

Many of the snippets in this article include credentials in the URL parameters, which is a serious security issue. I urge my fellow readers to not use snippets which have credentials in the URL.
