About FreeAPI.watch

FreeAPI.watch is an automatically updated directory of free public APIs. Every hour we ping each tracked API and record whether it responds, how fast, and whether its terms have changed.

The goal is simple: when a developer searches for a free API, they should find one that actually works today — not a five-year-old GitHub list with broken links.

Why it exists

Public API directories rot fast. APIs disappear, paywalls move, free tiers shrink. We watch so you don't have to.

How we make money

The site is supported by display ads (AdSense) and affiliate links to paid alternatives shown alongside each free API. We never pay for inclusion and ranking is based purely on measured uptime, response time, and free-tier quality. See our methodology for the exact formula.
