APIs.io – The API search engine

Good revamp of the old APIsIO. I suggest to check also PublicAPIs (<a href="http://publicapis.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;publicapis.com</a>) with 5,000 APIs listed and maintained by the community.

We almost need the inverse: APIs that are showing signs of death ala Netflix. It&#x27;s usually the case that you have an idea for something and an API is pretty easy to find. Getting your integration pulled out under your feet is really what sucks.

It might be nice from a usability perspective to only show the error message once. As it stands now, it&#x27;s possible to continually search for a non-existing API and fill the screen with red errors [1]. (Not that this is a particularly compelling or realistic workflow or even worth fixing. They disappear within a few seconds anyway, which is nice.)<p>[1] <a href="http://imgur.com/dqZY8zW" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;dqZY8zW</a>

What&#x27;s the use case for searching for &quot;an API&quot; exactly? Usually, there&#x27;s something very specific you want to do with an API...

Seems to be perpetually stuck on &quot;loading...&quot;. Hug of death?

This reminds me of Bret Victor&#x27;s &quot;Future of programming&quot; at <a href="http://vimeo.com/71278954" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vimeo.com&#x2F;71278954</a> particularly at 13:50 about APIs - envisioning how computers could themselves discover available services at other computers. Maybe this API index is just the first step towards enabling computer programs to independently interact with each other.

Can I get the list of APIs via an API?

One thing to add, perhaps: include API wrappers, client libraries etc.<p>Stuff that makes it easier to use the actual underlying API.<p>Eg the YouTube Data API is nice, but you can save a ton of time if you use one of the client libraries:<p><a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/libraries" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;developers.google.com&#x2F;youtube&#x2F;v3&#x2F;libraries</a>

OP here - If you have trouble loading the homepage to search for APIs (due to lot of traffic)<p>You can check static pages: <a href="http://apis.io/faq" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;apis.io&#x2F;faq</a> <a href="http://apis.io/lint" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;apis.io&#x2F;lint</a> <a href="http://apis.io/builder" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;apis.io&#x2F;builder</a> <a href="http://apis.io/apiDoc" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;apis.io&#x2F;apiDoc</a> <a href="http://apis.io/about" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;apis.io&#x2F;about</a>

How is it different than Programmable Web?<p>(<a href="http://www.programmableweb.com/apis/directory" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.programmableweb.com&#x2F;apis&#x2F;directory</a>)

This is really cool. The one feature request I have is that descriptions be added. The tags alone aren&#x27;t enough to determine what an api is offering.

I&#x27;m getting the following error [1] every time I try to open the page with IE11 on Windows 8.1. It prevents bootstrap.js from loading, which then prevents everything else from working and just shows a blank white page.<p>Might explain why some people are having problems loading the site, though it works fine in Firefox for me.<p>[1]: <a href="https://i.imgur.com/HWdHT33.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;HWdHT33.png</a>

Is there a API search engine where one can enter sample inputs and outputs, and get a list of methods that return the outputs for the given inputs? Smalltalk has a search function like this - very handy instead of trying to guess method names.

If you just want the list of names of the apis:<p><pre><code> curl &quot;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;apis.io&#x2F;api&#x2F;apis?limit=1000&quot; -s |python -m json.tool |grep &quot;\&quot;name\&quot;\:&quot;</code></pre>

I&#x27;m getting 400 error when trying to add my API<p><a href="https://coinkite.com/static/api/apis.json" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coinkite.com&#x2F;static&#x2F;api&#x2F;apis.json</a>

Very cool. Would be great if you teamed up with Readme.io to make sure all of their customers are loaded into the search engine (our docs are with Readme)

OP here, i&#x27;m spawning more machines, hang in there

Searching for &quot;voice calling&quot; changes the input to &quot;voice\ calling&quot;. And then there are no results :(

The icons doesn&#x27;t work in Firefox on W8, works in Chrome, though. Just shows squares with numbers inside.

OP here - everything should be back to normal in terms of loading time. Sorry for the inconvenience

Any chance you will accept Swagger API docs? I have my APIs already documented in Swagger.

Sweet!<p>Would be really awesome if the site could show api&#x27;s documentation in a unified standard format<p>Kudos for this!

Site is stuck at `loading...`

Great. Why is it taking so much time to load ?

Appears to be down or broken.

Nice!<p>Very interesting facility.<p>Original with solution to add API in JSON-format and so on.

gave up trying to add an api.
