I created this video to highlight the best places to find free APIs — whether you’re building a project, creating content tools, or just experimenting.

There are hundreds of useful APIs out there, many of them totally free. In this video, I share some of my favorite directories and individual APIs for devs and creators.

I walk through:

  1. RapidAPI – huge marketplace of free and paid APIs
  2. Public APIs GitHub list – an open-source treasure trove
  3. APIList.fun – curated, easy-to-browse list of fun/public APIs
  4. Bonus: APIs for movies, finance, weather, and quotes

I also mention a few ways I’ve used these APIs in my own projects — like pulling movie data into a Letterboxd-style app or creating SEO tools with search APIs.

Are you working on any API-based projects right now?
