We Checked 1,600+ Free APIs. 254 Were Already Dead.

说明与用途

开发者经常使用免费 API，但它们可能突然失效。AKCLNT Free APIs 对 1,600+ API 进行每周自动检查，发现 254 个已失效、82 个仍在运行。它公开状态历史、响应时间和健康数据，并提供选择可靠 API 的检查表。

问题

Developers rely on free APIs that may become unavailable without notice, leading to broken integrations.

结果

Out of 1,600+ free APIs, 254 were found dead, 82 verified live, and 4 currently down. The system provides transparent, weekly status updates, enabling developers to choose reliable APIs.

工作流

• Curate core list of 111 APIs and perform a real GET request to a documented endpoint with one retry, capturing status, response time, and body.
• For the wider catalog of 1,600+ APIs, perform a link check: the official site must return 2xx/3xx or a login page; otherwise mark as dead.
• Run the checks weekly to maintain up-to-date status history and health scores.
• Publish results publicly per API, including raw JSON, CSV, and watch feeds for status changes.
• Provide a checklist for developers to evaluate APIs: current response, status history, break handling, and keyless access.
• Offer a live badge for API maintainers to display current status on README files.
• Invite community to report missing or dead APIs for future checks.
