# Free-APIs

> Curated, searchable directory of free public APIs for developers

Free-APIs is a web directory derived from public API lists, designed to help developers find free services for side projects and testing. Each entry clearly indicates whether the API requires authorization, supports HTTPS, or handles CORS requests. Users can search, filter by category, or shuffle through the collection to discover new developer tools.
