I built an open-source directory of 50+ free public APIs with daily automated health-checks

Hey everyone! 👋

Finding reliable, free public APIs for side projects or learning is always a hassle because many listed APIs eventually go down or become paid.

To solve this, I created Awesome Free APIs Live — an open-source, curated collection of 50+ free public APIs across AI, developer tools, security, and open data.

Daily Health Checks: Powered by GitHub Actions, an automated script tests endpoints daily and updates live status badges.

Zero Dead Links: Broken endpoints are flagged automatically so developers don't waste time debugging dead services.
