The APIs.io catalog added another 245 providers and 599 APIs in a second rebuild cycle today, pushing the running totals to 1,944 providers and 8,409 APIs — the first time the network has crossed 8,000 APIs. The /.well-known/api-catalog linkset now covers 6,731 APIs, with 2,973 carrying machine-readable OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, or Postman descriptions.
This cycle is alphabetically anchored in the F-section of the index. The new entries include a second wave of US federal agencies — Food and Drug Administration, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, Foreign Agricultural Service, and the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission — extending the government cluster from the morning’s rebuild and pushing the federal footprint in the catalog well past 80 agencies. For a catalog that aims to be useful to agents working with public data, having every major federal data publisher indexed in the same structure as Stripe or Salesforce is the point.
Financial services fill in more of the picture this round: Fiserv, FIS, First American Financial, First Citizens Bancshares, and First Data add payment infrastructure and banking rails that were previously gaps in the catalog’s coverage of the financial stack. Data engineering is also well-represented — Fivetran, Flatfile, Flyte, Fluent Bit, Fluentd, and FluxCD join the growing data tooling section alongside the prior cycle’s Dagster, dbt, and DataHub entries. On the cloud-native side, Flannel, Flask, Flatcar Container Linux, Fly.io, and FMC round out the open-source infrastructure tier. Azure Data Factory and Azure Machine Learning slot into the existing Azure cluster, filling two notable gaps.
Other build metrics this cycle: +182 schemas, +10 AsyncAPI specs, +115 JSON-LD documents, +14 Spectral rulesets, and +2 capabilities (the catalog’s first two new capability bundles since the HubSpot profiling work). The pipeline picks them up; the network grows.
