VERDICT
A Collaborative List Of 1400+ Public APIs For Developers - publicapis.dev
Worth it. A free, community-curated directory of 1,400+ public APIs — ideal for developers hunting data sources, test APIs, or project ideas. Not for production teams who need vetted, supported, SLA-backed APIs; go to the vendors or a marketplace like RapidAPI instead.
Medium. Based on ~12 public sources; formal reviews are scarce, feedback is mostly Reddit and community mentions.
