13 providers 18 APIs

Kenya on the APIs.io network surfaces 13 providers tagged to or headquartered in Kenya — together publishing 18 indexed APIs.

Notable providers include Cellulant, M-Pesa (Safaricom Daraja), Tripitaca, Leta, Avenews, Apollo Agriculture, and 7 more — each profile links out to that provider’s APIs, schemas, and governance artifacts.

Related countries by shared providers: Nigeria and Egypt. Browse every country at countries.apis.io.

Country mapping reads three explicit signals: a country tag the provider carries, a headquarters statement in its own description that names the country or one of its cities (“headquartered in Munich”, “a Paris-based company”), or the provider describing itself by nationality (“a French company”). Region words (“a Latin American exchange”) and language uses (“French-speaking”) are not counted, and nothing further is inferred — so coverage is a floor, not a census. Many companies operate across several countries, and cross-listings are expected.

Mapped on three explicit signals: a top-level country tag (Kenya), or a headquarters statement in the provider's own description that names the country or one of its cities ("headquartered in Munich", "a Paris-based company"), or the provider describing itself by nationality ("a French company"). 10 providers were admitted by tag, 3 by stated headquarters alone and 0 by nationality alone. Region words ("a Latin American exchange"), language uses ("French-speaking"), and a city named outside a headquarters statement are not counted — so this list is a floor, not a census.
