Africa

Sub-Saharan Africa plus North Africa — Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Egypt, Ghana, etc.

158 providers 645 APIs

Africa on the APIs.io network surfaces 158 providers mapped to this sales region — together publishing 645 indexed APIs.

Notable providers include Paystack, Peach Payments, Flutterwave, M-Pesa (Safaricom Daraja), Paymob, Interswitch, and 152 more — each profile links out to that provider’s APIs, schemas, and governance artifacts.

Related regions by shared providers: Middle East, India & South Asia, United Kingdom & Ireland, and Latin America. Browse every sales region at regions.apis.io.

Region mapping is derived from three explicit signals: a provider tag, a provider-name pattern, or a stated headquarters in the provider’s own description. It surfaces what is signalled and intentionally infers no further — a provider that says nothing about where it is appears in no region at all. This is a map of stated headquarters, not of markets served. A London company selling across Europe is listed under United Kingdom & Ireland only, and several of the largest API providers carry no geographic statement of any kind, so they appear here nowhere.

About this region

APIs from Africa — Sub-Saharan Africa plus North Africa. A region where mobile-money APIs (M-Pesa, MTN MoMo) have leapfrogged card rails entirely and where fintech, agritech, and logistics APIs dominate.

Facet averages, against the whole catalog

Facet	This cohort	Catalog	Difference	Scored
Discoverability	59.4	61	-1.6	145
Contract Quality	17.9	19.8	-1.9	145

A facet is averaged over the members that carry it, not over the whole cohort — the “Scored” column is that count. Averaging an absent facet as zero would score our own coverage gaps as the providers’ posture.

mcp_pct counts any mcp/ artifact including ones API Evangelist derived from the provider OpenAPI; mcp_first_party_pct counts only servers the provider publishes. Prefer the latter.
