APIs.io

APIs.io is an open source API search engine and directory that uses APIs.json files to discover, index, and catalog APIs across the web. Built on the APIs.json specification, it provides a searchable entry point for developers to find public APIs by keyword, resource, action, persona, domain, and schema. The platform indexes 779 providers, 3,188 APIs, 587 capabilities, 36,602 schemas, 49 event specs, 2,078 vocabularies, and 450 rulesets. It is maintained by Kin Lane, Nicolas Grenier, and Steven Willmott and supports both API producers (submitting APIs) and API consumers (discovering APIs). APIs.io uses a Spectral-powered rating system to evaluate API documentation quality.

APIs.io publishes 11 APIs on the APIs.io network, including APIs API, Areas API, Artifact Types API, and 8 more. Tagged areas include API Aggregation, API Directory, API Discovery, API Indexing, and API Rating.

The APIs.io catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

APIs.io’s developer surface includes authentication, engineering blog, getting-started guide, changelog, release notes, support, and 24 more developer resources.

Use Cases 5

What developers build with this provider.

API Discovery

Developers can search for APIs relevant to their project by keyword, discovering APIs across thousands of providers without knowing where to look.

API Submission

API producers can submit their APIs.json files to ensure their APIs are discoverable in the index and properly cataloged with metadata.

Quality Assessment

Development teams use the Spectral ratings system to identify high-quality APIs and avoid poorly documented or unmaintained options.

Catalog Building

Platform teams use APIs.io as a reference implementation for building their own internal API catalogs using the APIs.json format.

Domain-Specific Search

Developers searching for APIs in specific domains (healthcare, finance, AI) can use topic-specific search nodes for more targeted discovery.

Integrations 6

Pre-built integrations with other platforms and tools.

APIs.json

Core integration with the APIs.json specification for machine-readable API description and discovery across the web.

OpenAPI

APIs indexed in APIs.io reference OpenAPI specifications as a key property, linking consumers to technical API contracts.

Spectral

Spectral ruleset integration powers the APIs.io rating system, evaluating API documentation quality against standardized rules.

GitHub

GitHub integration for API submission via issues, source of truth for indexed APIs.json files, and authentication via Personal Access Tokens.

Postman

Postman public workspace integration for running and testing the APIs.io Search API via pre-built collections.

AWS API Gateway

The APIs.io Search API is deployed and managed through AWS API Gateway for scalable, managed API access.
