18 providers 247 APIs

South Africa on the APIs.io network surfaces 18 providers that carry a South Africa tag — together publishing 247 indexed APIs.

Notable providers include Ozow, MTN Group, University of the Witwatersrand, Payflex, University of Cape Town, Howler, and 12 more — each profile links out to that provider’s APIs, schemas, and governance artifacts.

Related countries by shared providers: Nigeria, United States, and United Kingdom. Browse every country at countries.apis.io.

Country mapping is derived from the country tags providers carry — it surfaces what is explicitly signalled in the structured data and intentionally does not infer geography further. Most providers carry no country tag, so coverage is deliberately partial; many companies also operate across multiple countries, and cross-listings are expected.
