How to submit to API List

  1. Open the API List submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  3. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse API List (Programmers hunting for a public API for a side project or product), not for search engines.

  4. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for API List

  • The form asks for a short name, the official docs URL, a Markdown description, categories and optional GitHub/Twitter handles.
  • Put the main category first; you can suggest new categories in a separate field.
  • The form says entries are reviewed within 24 hours.

From API List’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for developer tool directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • Links to your docs and a quick-start or install command
  • Your GitHub or GitLab repo, if public
  • Supported languages, frameworks and platforms
  • Pricing for the API or hosted tier, including free limits

Is API List worth it?

Good for discovery, not link equity

Links from API List listings carry rel="nofollow", so they pass little or no ranking value. Submit if its audience matches yours: the value is visitors and being findable where people browse.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 37 (moderate). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • Free to list, so the only cost is your time.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
