Public APIs repository is an effective supply to search out free and helpful APIs to make use of in growth. I personally created a couple of enjoyable initiatives with the APIs I discovered on this repository.
However the scenario of the undertaking isn’t good now. The undertaking was initially created by Todd Motto, however he transferred the possession of the undertaking to different folks later. The undertaking is now owned by a enterprise known as APILayer.
This undertaking is now slowly shifting in the direction of selling their enterprise as a substitute of itemizing the general public APIs.
One of many undertaking maintainers has written concerning the scenario in his article:
It is now clear APILayer do not care concerning the undertaking nor Open Supply, their solely aim is to reap the benefits of the massive variety of pageviews the undertaking will get to redirect to their very own firm.
The crew remains to be discussing what we must always do to maintain the undertaking going. Please watch out with the undertaking content material now as a result of we can’t guarantee it is secure.
Happily, there’s a new fork of the repository now. Hopefully, the maintainers of the fork would care concerning the open supply and checklist the true public APIs. 🤞
