This repository is a community-curated directory of public APIs, organized by category in a single README.md file. Each entry includes the API name, description, authentication type, HTTPS support, and CORS status. The primary data artifact is the markdown file itself, which is manually maintained through pull requests. Supporting Python scripts validate the markdown format (alphabetical order, column padding, description length) and check that all listed API links are reachable, with special handling for Cloudflare-protected endpoints. The validation scripts are well-structured, parameterized, and include a comprehensive test suite, making them reusable for any similar markdown-based table validation. The repository is actively maintained with frequent commits and CI workflows, though its Python dependencies are slightly outdated (certifi 2021, requests 2.27.1). The core value is the curated dataset, not a software application.
