Stopped digging through dead GitHub lists, so I built a searchable directory of 720+ public APIs with explicit free-tier filtering

Hey r/SideProject , Like most developers here, whenever I start building a new SaaS product, side project, or integration, I spend way too much time hunting down reliable APIs. I usually end up scrolling through outdated GitHub repositories, hitting broken endpoints, or digging through confusing pricing pages just to see if a service has a functional free tier. To fix this frustration for myself and other builders, I launched FreeAPIData —a highly structured, searchable directory buil

AI 分析

痛点：开发者做新项目时要在过时的 GitHub 列表、失效端点和混乱的定价页之间反复翻找，才能确认真实可用的免费 API 配额。

目标用户：独立开发者、小型 SaaS 团队、需要快速验证原型的全栈工程师

证据：I usually end up scrolling through outdated GitHub repositories, hitting broken endpoints, or digging through confusing pricing pages just to see if a service has a functional free tier. / The "True Free" Filter: Instantly filter for APIs that offer documented, permanent free tiers ... Trial-only hooks are kept strictly separate.

变现：免费目录导流＋付费收录/置顶（API 提供商付费曝光）、affiliate 佣金（云服务和 API 网关）、付费 Pro 筛选与导出（CSV、变更监控）、Newsletter 广告位

MVP：2 周内：抓取 Public APIs、APIs.guru 等开源清单做去重清洗，人工核验 100 条 API 的免费额度字段（是否永久免费、是否需要 key、是否支持 CORS），用 Next.js + SQLite 做可搜索筛选页，加一个『免费额度变更提醒』邮件订阅做留存钩子。

竞品：RapidAPI、Public APIs (GitHub)、APIs.guru、FreePublicAPIs、APIList.fun

摘要：作者因受不了过时 GitHub API 列表，做了 FreeAPIData 目录，收录 722 个 API、544 家供应商、17 个分类，核心卖点是『真实永久免费』筛选器（把只给试用额度的服务单独隔离）。帖子只证明痛点普遍存在，没有任何付费意愿原话或收入数据；目录类产品变现主要靠收录费、affiliate 和广告，且已有 RapidAPI、Public APIs 等一批成熟替代品，竞争空间有限。
