How it works
APIScout turns a giant alphabetical README into a tool you can actually use.
Popularity & categories
The well-known APIs surface first via a curated popularity rank blended with real GitHub stars. Browse the 51 real categories as clickable tiles, sort by Popular / A–Z / Recently checked.
Verified, not just claimed
A build-time pipeline actually tests each endpoint over HTTPS and reconciles it with the README's flag — so 'HTTPS ✓ verified' means we confirmed it, not that we took someone's word.
Try it live
Fire a real GET request and read the syntax-highlighted JSON in-page. CORS + no-auth APIs run directly from your browser; the rest go through one SSRF-hardened proxy.
Copy & ship
Grab a ready-to-paste fetch() or curl snippet for any endpoint and drop it straight into your code.
