Each API endpoint is tested once every 24 hours by our friendly robots to make sure it works. When an API stops working, it starts ranking poorly and is eventually removed from the site.
Our robots use three key metrics to calculate a health score between 0 and 100.
The goal of this website is to provide students of the University of Applied Sciences in Grisons (Switzerland) with an up-to-date list of free, useful and reliable APIs for their programming projects.
It was made out of necessity by me, Nick Schneeberger. I maintained a static list of free APIs for my students, and each semester I had to manually check if they still worked, hadn't moved behind a paywall, or changed their endpoints. APIs would go offline without notice or switch to paid-only models.
🙏 Special thanks to Benjamin Hanimann for contributing numerous APIs and helping the platform grow into what it is today.
